Carter Miller, a junior who won three awards, felt excited to be able to run on Friday and was excited to be competing as a team.

“Some were better at some things, and others, not so much,” Miller said. “I can proudly say nobody else was better than me in the 400m dash, as I placed first. Everyone was there to compete and our team did one heck of a job giving it their all.”

Neil Sanipara, a senior, expressed his gratitude for the fun season that he was able to go through during his last year at MSMS.
