“My goal for this season (was) to qualify for districts,” said Kara
Kara did in fact qualify for districts in the discus, and she finished in the top twenty five in 2A.
Though Kara is a senior and will going to college next year, she does not plan on continuing her track and field career at the collegiate level.
“My favorite thing about track and field is setting new personal records, because as you are improving your overall performance you are also helping the team. I am also so thankful for the girls track team coaching staff for all they have done for me,” she said.
