track – The Chant

Magnet junior Malik Butler began pole vaulting last year, and continues to make progress in the sport this season, cultivating the combination of strength, coordination and speed required for pole vaulting. He hopes to vault over ten feet this season. “Always try something new like I did with pole vaulting and you never know, maybe you’ll have something new you love doing,” Butler said.

Students wait while construction continues on the track, which started in early April. Student athletes grow tired of dealing with the constant schedule changes throughout the spring sport season. “They tried to schedule everything around the track being built, earlier they scheduled all our home games back to back to back and then later on in the season all of the games were scheduled to be away,” junior and soccer team captain Josh Labus said.

The construction of a new track for the football field at NC began yesterday. Signs and gates prevent students from entering, asking them to stay away from the stadium. The construction also prevents sports teams utilizing the field, creating a season filled with away games. Despite the inconvenience to NC’s athletes, the new track will provide a much needed face lift to the football field.
