Women's Outdoor Track and Field | 5/6/2020 9:55:02 AM
The Empire 8 Conference would like to honor its senior student-athletes from women’s outdoor track & field, who were just about to begin their spring outdoor season, before it was abruptly ended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These student-athletes prepared and competed with passion while also serving as role models in the community. While their final opportunity to compete in the sport they love was taken away, the many memories and bonds they have built with their teammates and coaches will last a lifetime and put them on a path for success beyond the track. Thanks for making the Empire 8 an exceptional athletic conference, we wish you much success and happiness upon graduation.
