I am probaly going to get blasted for being so "biased" as some call it, and posting so many nice things about my team, but here goes. Not many people around the state probaly know Danville, unless you are in Hendricks or the surrounding counties. We are a smaller school with about 750-800 enrollment, by no means a Carmel or North Central. I think that everyone should be recongnized for running, even if their team cannot compete with track giants like Ben Davis, or Warren Central. Danville is the defending Sagamore Conference champ in track, and we finished 4th at the Plainfield Sectional. I think that our team has serious potential due to the fact that we lose very few seniors, and only one that scored points in large meets. I think that Danville can repeat in a Conference Championship, and could even compete for a sectional crown. The reason I say this is that our atheltes are as dedicated as anyone out there, and have been working very hard. Also, some of the surrounding schools have taken much bigger hits in terms of losing varsity participants. Here are our returning athletes and one of their, or their best times+what I think they will improve to come track time. Feel free to post info about your track team, girls or boys. I think it is important that people recognize what someone has does without them having to run at the front of the pack all the time, so here is my team.
