The season for the Steamboat Springs High School Track & Field team kicks off with a JV and Varsity meet at Rifle High School on Friday. We spoke to Head Coach Lisa Renee Tumminello recently, at Picture Day at Gardner Field.
“The team looks amazing. We are growing by the day. We have a really solid group of veterans with a lot of experience. We have a large group of newcomers, so in between, there’s just a lot of amazingness.”
There are close to 100 Sailors out for the Track & Field Team, with a dozen seniors.
Events include discus or shot put, long jump, triple jump, high jump, pole vault, sprint races and mid-distance and hurdles.
