The Alliance track and field team had a track meet in Broken Bow on Thursday, April 5. This is the track team’s second meet so they think they did well!

Kaelyn Mazanec, a freshman in track and field, does the 100-meter dash, the 4×100 relay, and the long jump. Kaelyn thinks she did pretty well. She said, “I got a PR (personal record) in the 100-meter dash. For it being my second varsity meet I’m proud of myself!” The Alliance team was going up against some very tough teams at this meet but they pulled through and did the best they could. Kaelyn mentioned, “Our relays could’ve gone better with the handoffs, and in the long jump I could have jumped further than I did, but we still had a good time!” Kaelyn said that this meet will make her want to work harder in practice so that she feels better about her outcome in her following meets. She said, “There is nothing I would change about this meet. Everyone from Alliance did really well, and I’m proud of them!”

Let’s hope Kaelyn and everyone else had fun at the Broken Bow track and field meet. I hope everyone who competed achieved their goals and set a personal record! The next track meet for AHS will be April 19 in Scottsbluff starting at 12:30 P.M. so don’t forget, and come support!

About the Contributor

Jamie Brooks, Co-Editor

Jamie Brooks grew up in a small town called Alliance, Jamie has always loved the country and how much open space there is for land and cattle! Jamie has always leaned towards the care of animals, realizing it was her passion! Growing up on a ranch she has always loved the care of animals all her life. Being a ranch hand at the ripe age of 16 has given her a head start on becoming a veterinarian.Helping fix fences, ride horses, move, and work cows. I asked Jamie why she liked being a ranch hand so much she stated, “When I was little I was always around cowboys, and watching them work with cattle I thought was awesome knowing that's something I could do”. Entering Alliance High School as a sophomore Jamie picked journalism as an elective and ended up falling in love with the class. Jamie focused on the entertainment side of The SPUD such as writing previews for movies! Jamie stated “ I wanted to do entertainment because I was running out of ideas, but I really ended up enjoying writing about movies”.As the school year of 2023 came to an end she couldn’t wait for next year! Continuing in her junior year she looks forward to being in Journalism again, for the experience and she can't wait to write again for The SPUD whether its entertainment or the social aspect of high school. Such as all the school events that happen throughout the school year! As Jamie pushes through high school, she looks forward to attending college at EWC (Eastern Wyoming College) because she loves the environment and pursuing her dreams of becoming a big animal veterinarian such as livestock. “ I love taking care of cows and horses so becoming a livestock veterinarian is where my passion is.” As Jamie continues highschool I wish nothing but the best for her. I wish her very good luck on moving further with her career. As Jamie pushes forward I cant wait to see what she brings forth to The SPUD!
