Gemberling is keeping the team’s goal simple. To keep working hard and better his athletes every single meet and every single practice and push his kids as far into the postseason as possible.

“We always have the same goal each year. We want our student-athletes to learn and work hard,” Gemberling said. “The goal is to see how many of our kids can set new personal bests and qualify for districts and states. This year is going to be a fun one and I know the kids are ready for it to start!”

But more importantly coach Gemberling wants his team to learn that working hard can lead them to success not only on the track but off of it as well.

“Biggest thing for me is for the team to know that hard work pays off. They have been working hard all winter and the hope is that they are seeing some measure of success as the season progresses,” Gemberling said. “As coaches we are also hopeful that the team learns that we are here to help them succeed and that doing the little things is key to success.”
