The first indoor track meet will be held on Dec 18. 

“The indoor season will go well,” coach Eli Mencer said. “The biggest thing about indoor [track] is that it is more of a time to get ready for outdoor. Due to not having a lot of meets, it forces you to enjoy getting better and getting stronger, as well as competing against your teammates in practice.”

¨I think we’re going to do really well this season,” sophomore Brionna Adams said. “For our first meet, we have a lot of talent this year. So I think we’re all going to perform well. And I think we’re going to get better over time.”

Come and cheer on fellow students as they take over at Penn State.

Hello! I am a senior and this will be my second year writing for the Mountain Echo.  At the publication I enjoy writing opinion stories and getting to know people’s stories throughout the interview and research process. Other than writing, I love reading, biking, running, listening to podcasts and being outdoors. Until then, I can’t wait to have another fantastic year writing for the Mountain Echo!
