Casey Wilson is a freshman and participates in the long jump, 400 meter dash and the 300 meter hurdles for the track team.

“I like track, but I prefer team events. Track is more pressure. It is an individual sport unless you are in a relay, so it is all on you,” says Wilson. Your first time participating in a sport, you find what you do and do not like. Even though track is an individual sport, there are team aspects to it.

Casey decided to participate in track in hopes of improving his speed for football. He decided he enjoys the sport and will continue to participate in it. He would encourage others to come out for this sport because it does keep you in shape.

“I feel I bring hard work and dedication to the team. I feel my strengths are my speed, but I am not as in shape as I’d like to be. I would like to improve on that. I have set a goal to make it to WPIAL’s for long jump,” says Wilson. There is always room for improvement and finding your strengths and weaknesses.

Casey is only a freshman and plans to continue participating in track. That means he will have three more years on the team. Good luck this season!
