East Hardy Girls Track shared the Class A Potomac Valley Conference Track Championship along with the Mountain Lions setting a school record fourth consecutive crown, while the Tucker County Boys Track won the title in Baker.
Rachel Schetrom was selected as the Potomac Valley Conference Girls Track Coach of the Year for the Cougars.
“I’m really proud of my team (boys and girls) for going out and giving it everything. With the girls team winning a co-championship, it makes four back-to-back championships. Being recognized as PVC Girls Track Coach of the Year really speaks to the athletes that we have and their dedication to excellence. The boys team also had outstanding performances taking seven PVC medals and finishing second with only 11 athletes. It was especially exciting to see East Hardy athletes set two new PVC records – Madison Kerr (100 High Hurdles) and Evan Hamilton (200 meters),” East Hardy Track coach Rachel Schetrom remarked.
