2018 Silverado Girls Track Capsule

SILVERADO

Head coach: Jerry Oliver, 14th season

Returning letter winners: Seventeen

Top athletes: Suzanne Guerrero (Sr.), Grace Cunningham (Fr.), Amira Mathews (Fr.)

Outlook: Guerrero finished third in the pole vault in last year’s Sunrise Region meet, but the Skyhawks lost some big contributors to graduation.

“We lost jumper Micayla Kelley, who is now competing for Long Beach State, and Mikaila Becze, who is throwing for UNLV,” Oliver said. “We have a group of young girls who are ready to step up and contribute this year.

“We look to be competitive at the region meet.”
