By Coach Rosary Pennington)
The Clarion Area Track and Field team ended the season with the annual celebratory picnic. We had a great turnout of athletes and families there to recognize the teams accomplishments for 2019.
The Coaches highlighted the season team record and individual event accomplishments. We also awarded lettermen pins, KSAC All-Conference Certificates, and team awards for Track and Field MVP’s, Leadership, outstanding Underclassmen, Most Improved and Dedication. the Coaches presented the seniors with a photo tumbler mug as a small token of appreciation, and in turn the captains presented the coaches with a lovely Thank You card, signed by the team and Coaching Shirts.
We will miss all of our seniors and wish them the best of luck.
