By Rachel West

The Northeast girls track team is working harder than ever before and the Rockets say the hard work will pay off. This season they plan on sending a few of their teammates to state "It'll happen," says distance runner Jenni Mitchell. "It will be easy " The team hopes to beat their 1993-94 record. A typical week on the track team means a hard practice on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and usually a meet on Thursdays, Fridays, or Saturdays . Road trips were mentioned as one of the funnest parts of the meets .

The track team has a wide variety of sports. Contrary to popular belief, it is not just running The team consists of sprinters, distance runners, middle runners, jumpers, throwers, and hurdlers The Rockets show their dedication by doing their best in these areas "To me, it's a desire," says Mitchell.
