What really stood out to me this season was the strong spirit of team. While there were a number of records set, and some wonderful effort put forth by all of the athletes, what I will always remember is how we practiced and competed as a team. The genuine joy at the successes, and grief at the losses, and frustration at the injustices were shared by the team. The fellowship of this team truly embodied the spirit of membership in the "holy nation" that is the Church and the Austin Royals.

Coach Bret

The two biggest themes I saw throughout this 2018 season of track, were teamwork and fun. We had so much fun this season, even through all kinds of weather aches, and injuries. The athletes and coaches encouraged each other, challenged each other helped each other and inspired each other. The bonds of friendship formed this season will last long past the fading sounds of the cheering crowds.

From our youngest athletes courageously finishing their first 4x400 relays, to our oldest athletes enthusiastically trying a pentathlon with events they've never trained, we hope our track athletes leave this season knowing they can push thru boundaries, live beyond expectations and face any challenge knowing they can rely on God to be their source of strength, and trust their friends to walk with them on their journeys. Congratulations to all!

Coach BJ
