"Dylan Edland also participated in the state 4x200 race as a sophomore and should be a strong hurdler and sprinter for the Esko team.

Coach's assessment
"We're trying to make it a fun, hard-working atmosphere," girls coach Matt Peterson said. "That's our whole goal for the program and I think it's really worked out. These kids have been stuck in quarantine and distance learning and now we're all coming together and the boys and girls are getting a chance to just be kids. If we can develop that hardworking atmosphere we'll do well."
