Lake Placid — Blue Bombers track and field

The roster:

The Lady Blue Bombers will enter the 2012 track and field season with a roster that includes Nina Armstrong, Rachael Ashley, Adela Burka, Kate Gallagher, Carleigh Garrett, Jillian Goulette, Kendra Manning, Sage Miller, Briana Munoz, Esther Munoz and Molly Smith.

The boys roster includes Corey Detwiler, Connor Garrett, Trevor Knapp, Andrew Meister, Curtis Rissberger, Elias Smith, Haile Thompson and Hunter Wilson.

What the coaches say:

“The Lake Placid team is small and allows for more individualized coaching. We are new to coaching track and field, but have years of experience in coaching running in addition to experience in track and field competitions themselves. The team has been working hard in pre-season to get ready for a successful season. There are multiple returning athletes who have strong work ethics and have been leading the team. These athletes include Elias Smith, Andrew Meister, Curtis Rissberger, Connor Garrett, Molly Smith, Kate Gallagher, Esther Munoz, Bri Munoz and Rachael Ashley. Other athletes had to join later in the pre-season due to conflict with the school play – but are working hard to build a strong base and prepare for competition. We have a strong team in all distances on the track, in addition to depth in our girl’s mid- distance relay event. The team has strength in the jumping field events.” - Coaches Bill and Mel Frazer.
