Teacher shares perspectives on upcoming track season







By Giang Nguyen & Monserratt Castro




We interviewed Mr.Blommendahl, and we asked him some questions about track. He is not a track coach, but he does know about track. Track is coming up in spring again starting on March 29. Remember to join because it should be really fun!




Q: What do you guys usually do in track?




A: It depends. Short distance, long distance, relay races, long jump, high jump, and shot put.




Q: Is track fun?




A: Yes, it's a good way for preparing kids who would like to be athletes.




Q: How long does it take for practice?




A: Track practices are four days a week, Monday to Thursday after school.




Q: Do you have to train a lot?




A: It's about four days a week, and it takes whatever you need to practice to get better.




Q: Do a lot of kids join track?




A: More kids join track than any sport else at Waldo.






Look for an interview with Coach Swift and some of her track stars once the season has started at the end of March. Remember, track start soon so sign up if you want to participate!
