The lady trojans officially started off the meet season last Saturday with a tri meet against Glenbard West & Glenbard East. The ladies finished 2nd on both the Varsity and JV side being edged narrowly to GW by 4 points. It was a very encouraging start for the girls with many great performances. See Headlines below!

Temple-Wood Multi-tasks with W's in the Long Jump & 200!

The Sophomore won the long jump by 5 inches and came back to win the 200 by a few hundreths of a second!

Food for Thought

Glenbard West's track is very unique with technically 4 straight aways as opposed to the usual 2. It was designed to fit the structure of the building.

Coach Ritter was not the first one at the meet.

Congrats to Coach Maletich on his first meet as Head Coach! (Clap, Clap)

The distance girls showed their depth with 14 athletes at 2:45 or better in the 800.
