2015 Green Valley Girls Track Capsule

GREEN VALLEY

Head coach: Mark Fordney, first season

Top athletes: Debbie Olalare (Sr.), Amy Amezcua (So.), Sydney Eastwood (Sr.), Mackenzie Gravo (Sr.)

Outlook: Olalare finished third in the 200-meter dash in last year’s Sunrise Region meet, and Amezcua placed fourth in the 1,600.

Eastwood and Gravo also fared well at the region meet and will be among the leaders this year.

“The girls have strong field representation with pole vaulters, throwers and young jumpers,” Fordney said. “We have some good returning sprinters and distance runners.”
