The West Harrison girls’ track team returns 13 letterwinners from its 2011 team, including several runners from the middle distance races. Five of those returners are seniors but the Hawkeyes also have some youth to go with their experience as well. Coach Rick Barker said that will be helpful to his team
this season. The group that Barker counted on in the middle distance races last season that is back in 2012 is: Maddie Gerdes, Annemarie Davis, Charlee Ryan, Maggie Thomas, Alexis Pettid and Sonia Rutkowski. The runners that were a part of the sprint events and will lead the team again this year in that area are:
Amanda Ruffcorn, Emma Pruett, Miranda Felton and Sam Schulz. According to Barker, the Hawkeyes also have a solid option in the throwing events with Marissa Knott and Miranda Bertelsen and Emilee Earlywine contribute to the team in the distance events.
