2018 Faith Lutheran Boys Track Capsule

FAITH LUTHERAN

Head coach: Dan Kober, fifth season

Returning lettermen: Eighteen

Top athletes: Jack Gordon (Jr.), Zach Fung (Jr.), Micheal Peck (Sr.), Austin Hunter

Outlook: Gordon won the Sunset Region title in the pole vault and finished fourth in the event at the Class 4A state meet.

Fung also qualified for state in the pole vault. Peck was sixth in the region in the long jump, and Hunter was a region finalist in the 100-meter dash.

They’re among 18 returning lettermen for the Crusaders.

“We bring back a good strong core of upperclassmen we will lean on early in the season, but also bring in a lot of talented newcomers we hope to see develop into contributors as the season progresses,” Kober said. “We hope to compete for a top-five finish at the region meets.”
