Coach Shedd Quotes:

“This team is made up of four seniors, three of whom are completing their first full season of varsity track. Even though this is the first time all four have been on the relay at the same time (they have all been on the relay throughout the season, but never all at one time) they are very much a team and are very committed to the group and the group’s success.”

“Tyrone has a long-standing tradition of District Champion relay teams, but this is the first time Tyrone has ever won THIS relay. They came within two seconds of the school record, which was set almost twenty years ago, and I believe they will set a new record at the State Meet next week!”

“I’m thrilled with the progress this team has made each week this season. Through injuries, illnesses, and line-up changes they (including alternate Adam Zook) have continually improved and worked harder. This title of District Champion is well-deserved and is a fitting milestone to the final days of their high school careers.”
