Season 2, Episode 20: Spotlight on LHS's Indoor Track Team

Season 2, Episode 20: Spotlight on LHS's Indoor Track Team

Lowell High School has a great academic program, but the school also has outstanding opportunities for students to excel in extra-curricular interests. Our spotlight today is on Lowell High’s Indoor Track program. 

The Girls’ and Boys’ track teams have been successful and that is a testament to the excellent coaching by Boys’ Head Coach Scott Ouellette and Girls’ Head Coach Nate Kraft and their coaching staff. However, the most impressive aspect of the LHS Track program, regardless of the season, is the commitment and dedication of the student athletes themselves. The team members support each other and they draw on their inner strength to train hard and do their best.

Today we had the privilege of speaking to four outstanding track athletes: Asailiah Mirambeaux , Sarah Ames, Richmond Kwaateng , and Samuel Mutiso who represent Lowell High School well in their exemplary dedication, persistence, and academic achievement. Listen to our conversation with these four student athletes and their dedication not only to their individual achievements, but to their team as well.

FOR MORE INFORMATION:



We are grateful to LHS’s Scott Ouellette, who helped us to connect with these great kids and to the students themselves: Asaliah, Sarah, Richmond and Sam. Listening to you speak about the hard work that goes into your success at track, your persistence in continuing to improve - and the resilience needed to keep going when things don’t go as planned is inspirational. We know you will go far in your future pursuits and wish you and your team mates the best.
