🚨STATE WEEK🚨 You can always find our info on our T&F website, but here is what State Week looks like. Please note that practice will be held at 11am on Thursday. We will communicate departure times with athletes as we get a better idea of their travel plans!

We are transitioning over to a combined Track/XC account. We will be posting exclusively there and deactivating this account soon! Go follow @SC_Track_XC

We had sunshine as we put in hill sprints to close out Week 12 of our off-season. Salina Central, Smoky Valley, Hesston, Southeast of Saline, Bennington and Salina South Middle had runners in attendance. #wintersoldiers @SC_Track_Field @kansasrunning @KansasPregame

Their first meet is two months away, but @SC_Track_Field distance mainstays Katelyn, Kaylie, Tayton and Ethan have already put in 11 weeks of off-season work. Excited to see them race. #wintersoldiers @SalinaBurnTrack @SCXC19 @KansasPregame @kansasrunning @KansasMileSplit

Thank you from me and the students at Salina Central. You don't ask for a lot of “thanks” but I believe every once in a while it’s necessary. The amount of work that you do in every aspect of your job whether in the classroom or in coaching is greatly appreciated!! Congrats!

Vote for our Mustang - Katelyn Rupe! National Girls XC Performer of the Week (Oct. 28-Nov. 03)

5A STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS 🌧️ History was made in both 5A championship races at Rim Rock Farm, as upsets and dominating performances highlighted the season finale. After being even through the first two miles, Spring Hill’s Logan Beckman put his foot on the gas and pulled away

What a day! One State Champion, three All State runners, and the Bob Timmons Award as well. Great job, Katelyn, Kaylie, and Liam as well as all the Mustang competitors today.

Also a job well done to the boys who went and competed at Rim Rock! Job well done gentlemen!
