The AC/GC Chargers track and field teams get started next week with their outdoor meets, and their coaches are ready to see where the team can go.

The girls track team has a familiar face as their new head coach. Jacob Lacey takes over after working as an assistant coach for both teams for several years, and is enjoying helping the team get ready to get everything started. Lacey, head boys track and field coach Cody Matthewson and the assistant coaches all work together to help the athletes, with each of the coaches helping in different areas, like Lacey working with sprinters, Matthewson working with throwers, and other coaches working with the distance runners, hurdlers and jumpers. Both head coaches say that this system works extremely well.
