Chesnee Head Coach Tripp Fogle is pleased where his team is at this point of the season, "very pleased with our effort and our numbers at this point. We have had a very good turnout of male athletes. Still recruiting our girls. We have several talented individuals." Fogle also has a positive outlook on the rest of the season, "We are pleased at this point. We are recording good times, heights and distances, but our form and technique is far from good. With enough practices, we will improve dramatically. We need lots of work on things like starts, relay handoffs, pacing and hurdle form. Our coaches always do a great job of getting our kids in peak performance in mid April." The Chesnee Track and Field team will be back in action Thursday at Broome 3/17/2018 08:03:32 am
Love your reporting, but did not see anything about the track meet at Broome. March 22. I believe Madison Chesney finished first in 800 and second in mile. Thank you for reporting on our kids. Comments are closed.
