The Froid/Lake Red Hawks high school track team has 16 athletes competing this season under head coach Amanda Murray. The girls' squad includes Becca Nelson, Atley Jensen, Keilee Williams, and others, while the boys' team features Bryce Murray, Lane Bakken, and Kaj Jensen, who has won state titles in the unified division the last two years. The Red Hawks opened their season with an indoor meet in Williston, North Dakota, where Bakken earned first in the 1600-meter run.

Why it matters

Track and field is a point of pride for small-town high schools like Froid/Lake, providing opportunities for student-athletes to compete at a high level and represent their community. The Red Hawks' strong roster this season suggests they could make a mark at the district and divisional meets.

The details

The Froid/Lake Red Hawks have 16 athletes out for the track and field team this season, including several standouts. On the girls' side, the team features Becca Nelson, Atley Jensen, Keilee Williams, Leah Murray, Jordan Breuer, Keira Stentoft, and Camri Salvevold. The boys' roster includes Bryce Murray, Lane Bakken, Kaj Jensen, Eli James, Cody Olson, Eddie Orozco, Aaron Orozco, Bentley Williams, and Owen Logan. Kaj Jensen has won state titles in the unified division the last two years. The girls' 1600-meter relay team of Breuer, Stentoft, Murray, and Jensen should be a strength, while Bakken is expected to excel in the 1600-meter run. Eighth-graders Atley Jensen and Bryce Murray will also contribute in distance and sprint events.
