According to Hawk coach Nicole Dorhout, performances by the sprint medley team and Lux have been consistently successful this year.

"Jasmine is running really well right now," Dorhout said. "She wants to qualify for state and has a fire in her eyes that is really fun to see. The sprint medley has been our most successful relay thus far, as well."

Dorhout also praised the work of Croatt. "Lexi's had a great year and has been really mentally tough. I like what I've seen from her."

The Hawks are preparing for the last stretch of the season, including a meet hosted by South O'Brien at Paullina on May 6, and the state qualifying meet on May 13 at Lawton.
