HURDLING INTO A NEW SEASON

The CCA girls and boys track and field team is coached primarily by Ben Robison. Track practice is held every day after school from 3:45 to 5:30pm. There have already been a few track meets and they have gone very well. I ended up interviewing 2 freshman girls from the track team to ask them about their track season and how it is going so far. First, I interviewed Amiah Parker and these are the questions/answers:
