Track and Field

   Track and Field captains Kyla Penamante, senior, and Ajani Romero, sophomore, lead a team of over fifty athletes. The pair are known for their ability to micromanage, filling in the gaps for the Track and Field coaches by ensuring each individual event within Track and Field–including Pole Vault, Shotput and Discus, Jumps, Distance, and Sprints–are given equal attention and adequate care. 

   Penamante has spent four years on the track team, but this year is her first as a captain outside of her event, and for the entire track team.

  “Field events are ninety percent mental and and ten percent performance,” explained Penamente, who is also one of the captains for her individual event, Discuss and Shot Put.

   Romero has spent two years on the track team, and this year is also his first as a general team captain.

  “I would describe our team dynamics as passionate, since we all just really care about the sport and our own individual events,” Romero said with a smile. “I’m looking forward to the end of the year banquet, since it’s a time to reflect and wish all of the seniors well.”
