January 26, 2022
With an upcoming season on the horizon, the Millikan Sprint Team uses it’s comradery to race towards a bright future. Members on the team will soon face a packed series of meets starting March 16th. In hopes of performing their best, these teammates have continuously challenged one another along the way.
“We push each other to our full limit and fix one another,” says Declan Murray; a QUEST senior and co-captain of the team. “We work hard and make sure that everyone is putting their best effort.”
The Sprint Team aims to chip down their personal times and make it as far as they can throughout the season.
Kaliyah Johnson, an MBA junior and fellow co-captain says, “I hope that each and everyone one of us qualifies for Moore League finals.”
The Rams are very grateful to be back sprinting once again and to be able to compete amongst other athletes from other schools. Since their return, the team has been able to bond and connect more than they have ever before.
“We all know each other so well,” stated Murray. “We’re together as one family.”
With the support and guidance of their coach Jerry Naulls, these Millikan athletes have been able to reach their fullest potential and thrive along the way.
Spectate all their hard work on March 16th at their first meet at Cabrillo High School!

The article mentions that they are starting a packed series of meets and all the students on the girls and boys teams are going to be performing their best and saying how much they have “challenged one another along the way and pushed each other to the fullest extent and fix one another if and when they need it”. The article also states that the sprint team is even aiming to chip down on the personal time just to show that they can make it throughout the season. I love that all the captains and co-captains were willing to write something showing how much they are putting into their sport and how hard they are trying to be the best and show that they really want everyone to qualify for Moore League finals to show how talented the teams can be. I am also very excited to be attending the first meet of the year and to see what they have accomplished because even though we all had a hard time last year being off, I just know that they will do great this season starting on March 16th at Cabrillo high school. Lets Go Rams!

In Issue 3/2022 (published January 26, 2022), Kassie Sainz wrote an article titled “The Sprint Towards a New Season”. The article is about the upcoming track and field season and how the athletics are training hard for it and pushing each other to be the best. As someone who is currently on Track but for distance I can agree with the points stated in the article. Kassie Sainz has stated “We all know each other so well,” stated Murray. “We’re together as one family.” I agree with this as the athletics are training very hard everyday and they do seem close, kinda like a family. We also have not had a real track and field season since 2020, meaning only the seniors understand what a high school track race and season looks and feels like. A question I am wondering is what type of training do they do to get better? Even though I am on track I’m usually off campus running and left wondering what they do to improve themselves. Not only would it be helpful for me to use with my team, but as well as others not on track so they can get an idea of what training looks like for runners. Overall I do like this article, as it captures the main points of what is happening with track this season. I do hope that we have a great season and I wish the Sprinters good luck on theirs as well. Can’t wait for March 16th, our first race at Cabrillo High School! Thank you for taking the time to read this.
