Coach Miller praises state runner-up season; board confirms track resurfacing
Summary
Coach Miller told the board the track team finished as state runners-up, credited coaches and junior-high development, and the board confirmed that a bond-funded project will fully resurface the existing high school track this fall (not build a new track).
Coach Miller, the high school track coach, told the board the team had an “outstanding year,” finishing as state runners-up after close results in the final events and winning conference and regional titles. He credited assistant coaches Gary Akens, Joe Kowski and Deon Murray and singled out junior-high coach David Spears for building depth that will return next season.
The presentation noted several individual results — including placements in every event at state and a state championship in the 4x200 relay — and said the coaching staff and athlete buy-in were key to the season’s results. Coach Miller said two seniors scored at state and that a strong eighth-grade class will add depth next season.
Board members and attendees thanked the coaches and recognized community support for a bond measure that will fund a full resurfacing of the existing high‑school track. The superintendent and board clarified that the project is a resurfacing of the current track, not construction of an additional or separate facility, and that the resurfacing will occur this fall once contractors mobilize.
The board did not take formal additional action during the presentation beyond the acknowledgment and scheduling notes; the resurfacing project was described as proceeding under previously approved bond authority.
