Strohmans strive

Twin brothers Noah and Ryder Strohman are two of the best distance runners in the history of Holliday High School. In just three years, the juniors have amassed a horde of cross-country and track medals, were even key contributors in Holliday’s state track title this last season.

Atwood carries on track legacy

Being a coach’s kid is tough. For the most part, they have to be at practice or games long before everyone else gets there, and leave long after everyone else has left. They are also usually held to a higher standard compared to other athletes, especially if the coach of that sport is the parent.

Blowers blows past records to medal stand

Since her freshman year, Holliday senior Breagan Blowers has been one of the most consistent sprinters for the Lady Eagles’ track team, routinely winning district and area, and medaling at regionals and state yearly in the 200-meter dash.

Golden Mentality

It’s hard to describe how important culture is for an athletic program. Culture can make or break any good team, whether it be football, basketball, or this case, track.
