Taylor Walker is a senior member of the track team.

Walker has been a part of the track team since her freshman year and participates in shot and high jump.

“It looked like a lot of fun and I’ve always been interested in it a little,” said Walker “It’s a lot harder than it looks, but it’s so rewarding to compete and win or get a new personal record for your event.”

While she does enjoy it now Walker does not plan on furthering her track career after high school. Her favorite part of track now is participating and practicing with friends, “It just makes it a lot more fun when you can have people to talk to at some of longer meets.”

In her respective events her best is 24” meters for shot and 4’8” for high jump. Walker believes she can better herself in both of her events and get a new personal record.

When asked if she had any words for other student athletes Walker said, “You have to work hard and play even harder.” While she greatly enjoys track she is not looking to further her career outside of high school.

Good luck to Taylor and the rest of the track team this year!
