The spring track season is set to start on Monday, Mar. 3 after school. The team will be led by Paula Foreman, who also coaches the indoor track team. 

“We are really looking forward to getting the spring season underway,” Foreman said. “It’s our favorite time of year and we’re excited to get back out and begin training at Mansion Park Stadium.”

About the Contributors

Mattie Baker, Associate Editor
I am an associate editor and this is my second year on staff! I’ve always loved reading and writing. My dream job, at the moment, is to work at Barnes & Nobles and drink Starbucks on the daily. I’m obsessed with action movies like “Bullet Train,” “John Wick” and “James Bond.” I also have a passion for art. I’ve been taking extra art classes for over 10 years! Later in my life, I hope to be a storyboard artist and author.

Charlie Kephart, Editor in Chief
Hey! During my third year on staff, my senior year, I have taken on the role of being Editor in Chief for Mountain Echo. My sophomore and junior year, I served as associate editor. Outside of school I enjoy hanging out with my best friend, exercising, watching Netflix, photography and working as a lifeguard and teaching swim lessons at the YMCA. After high school I plan to pursue a medical path, with the intent of being a nurse practitioner. I’m looking forward to this school year and seeing what it brings our way!
