Track team waits for spring reign

So far women's spring track still feels like winter. Two weeks ago, the first years on the team found themselves shoveling off the outdoor track. This past weekend, the scheduled Saturday home meet was first postponed until Sunday and then eventually cancelled due to the snowfall.
But the girls have more than made up for the missed meet with lots of good training. Coach Peter Slovenski said, "We have a wonderful class of athletes on the team. The seniors bring a lot of spirit and talent to our practices and meets. When the weather clears for track, we'll be ready to have a good season."
The team is led by a strong upper class of athletes. There are currently seven seniors on the team who do anything from throwing the hammer to pole-vaulting. With about 25 women on the roster, the team is small but strong this spring. The majority of the team has trained through the indoor season, and everyone is ready to bust out this spring-weather permitting of course.
Junior All-American Kala Hardacker said, "We have lots of extra fire this year because our first competition has been pushed back-usually we would have raced in California over break and a few times since then as well."
The Bears can use that fire this weekend when they compete against Colby, M.I.T. and Bates at Colby on Saturday.
