The Jr. High track team benefited from listening to Pender alum, Brody Krusemark give them some tips for using the blocks. Brody was a master out of the blocks as he holds the school record for 100M, 200M, and is a 4x State Medalist including a gold medal in the 100 M in 2023. We appreciate Brody's expertise and the time he spent with us!
