Q: Describe how your senior track and field season went overall.

LOGSDON: “It went very well. It was a lot of fun, especially being part of the 4×100. I think every meet we went to except for one we broke the school record. We just kept getting faster and faster. Even practices were fun. We all had a special bond with each other.”
