It was a beautiful sunny day in Lincoln City and the Taft 7-12 track was blooming with future track stars.
Under the watchful eyes of coaches Doll, Snelling, Tolan and Williams the boys and girls varsity track squads practiced running, dashing, jumping, throwing discus and handing off batons.
The young athletes all seemed excited for the new season and listened carefully as each coach handed out pointers about techniques they would need to improve upon.
The first scheduled competition is March 22 for an Invitational Meet at McMinnville High 615 NE 15th St, McMinnville, OR.
