Dexter, Missouri – The Dexter High School Track Team will have their first meet on Tuesday, March 25th in Cape Girardeau at 4:00 p.m.
“Last year we had a pretty successful year, I felt,” commented Dexter Coach Greg Lummukka. “MaKayla Waldner competed at state in the hurdling events and we had a relay team that had a good showing at state. Two out of those four girls are back and we have got some girls who are going to compete for the other two spots on the relay team. I really expect us to continue to improve as the season goes on and maybe challenge in the district or region.”
Dexter competes in Class 3, District 1 against local teams such as Notre Dame, Perryville, Sikeston, Ste. Genevieve, Kennett, and Fredericktown.
The Dexter High School Track Team opens its season at Cape Central on Tuesday, March 25th at 4 p.m. They will not be at home until April 24th.
“Everything has to do with showing up for practice, paying attention, working hard and being involved,” stated Coach Lummukka. “I am hoping as we move forward we have some really good practices and good competition. We want to rise to the occasion. I think in general it’s a young team and it’s kind of fun to work with some kids that are new to the sport. It will be an exciting year to see how they develop."
