Proud of all our former alumni, you can keep tabs on them all using the links in this thread! Love to see all the Irish alumni still competing and thriving. We had several graduate last year too! Emily Woods, Carina Collet, and Cora Wilkinson all ended great college careers!

The Seneca Community lost an amazing young man. Recent grad Trevor Till was a kind young man with so many talents. Trevor was a great competitor that had a tremendous work ethic. He will be greatly missed. Keep his family and the SHS community in your thoughts and prayers.

For any coaches who don’t have an indoor facility or ability to put down blocks indoors I rigged up blocks to a 1x12 with non-slip backing. We were able to get some block work in our hallways. Dm me if you are interested in how to rig one up yourself.

Woke up this morning worried about our indoor track season cancellations and the spread of this virus across the world. Looked out the window to a beautiful sunrise...no matter what happens, the sun is going to rise again tomorrow. Take one day at a time.

College coaches. I have a senior athlete looking to possibly continue his track career. Landon Bruss-Saager only got to compete in one meet and jumped 6’5” (1.96m). This was Landon’s first year of track since his freshman year. One meet almost no practice. HUGE CEILING
