NOAH What is there to say about a kid who has done so much on the track in such a short time. Since his freshman year, Noah has been on top of the 3A Boys’ cross-country and track world, gobbling up 11 total state gold medals between cross-country, the 3200, the 1600, and the 800.

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.

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.

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.

The 24-25 track season was about as perfect as it could get for the Holliday Lady Eagles. Including the district championship (fifth straight), area championship (fifth straight), and regional championship (fourth straight), the team swarmed the state meet for a silver, completing one of the best seasons in school history.

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.
