2018 Chaparral Girls Track Capsule

CHAPARRAL

Head coach: Briana Budwit, third season

Returning letter winners: Seven

Top athletes: Loriel Williams (So.), Angelika Tabujara (Jr.), Cynthia Mejia (Sr.), Naja Muhammad (Sr.), Nya McGaughey (So.)

Outlook: Williams finished third in the 100-meter dash and fifth in the 200 in last year’s Class 3A state meet.

Tabujara and Muhammad ran on the Cowboys’ 400 and 800 relays that both placed second in the state meet.

They’re among seven returning letter winners for Chaparral.

“Our overall team goal is to improve our scoring at the regional championship,” Budwit said. “We anticipate a return to the state championship in the 100, 200, 400 relay, and 800 relay.

“We look forward to a great season with a large team and lots of potential talent.”
