Moorefield Track features a brand new surface creating positive vibes to usher in success.
Moorefield’s Parvatee Snyder was a region champion sprinter last season and earned state medals and the secret to that success is keeping up with the ritual of snacking on Cheez-it crackers.
The Yellow Jackets didn’t wait long to munch on the nectar of success with 11 Top-5 medals obtained at the Craig Kellar Invitational in Doddridge County which added to more hardware from Fort Hill.
Moorefield Boys Track veteran coach Linda Wright has a fast and strong crew ready for action.
Wright enters her 30th year as a teacher with a mathematics background to help the team analyze their performance.
Moorefield Girls Track coach Seth Wilson has a plethora of experienced runners and throwers prepared to make an impact.
Wilson was a top competitor in the field events during his high school days, so there is a chance to see the shot put and discus fly out of the Hive.
The Yellow Jackets assistant coaches bringing a wealth of knowledge will be former head coach Vivian Carr, Larry Foster who is the new boys soccer coaching providing endurance support education and Matthew Wright brings sprint expertise to the fold.
The Moorefield Boys 4×100 relay quartet of Javier Acosta, Matthew McDonald, Bill Lewis and Jordan Fields earned the silver medal in Doddridge County last Friday.
The Yellow Jackets 4×400 relay (Chernet Ansani, Hector Luna-Davy, Fields, McDonald) and shuttle hurdles team (Jhon Paul, Carter Sherman, Acosta, Ansani) both garnered the bronze medal at the site of the regional meet.
The sprint and middle distance teams are looking strong with Acosta, Lewis, McDonald, Ansani, Fields, Luna-Davy, Edgar Cambero, Law Sherman and Teagan Eversole swarming the track.
Luna-Davy joined Lewis for Top-10 long jump spots, in addition to adding the same in shot put and discus.
The Yellow Jackets senior leadership clears the hurdles of greatness starting with Jhon Paul and Carter Sherman.
Wyatt Shirk adds muscle in the field events.
Bringing soccer speed to the track will pay dividends with Yaziel Torres, Pedro Mucu-Mo and Anthony Jackson in senior leadership roles.
Luke Combs, Josiah Howard, Kevin Aleman and Lawrence Sherman bring intellectual power to master the techniques.
Moorefield’s Brayden Sackett-Williams and Ronan Straight have precision skill in the throwing events and can show off agility aimed in relays.
Moorefield Girls Track snatched the silver medal in the 4×100 relay with the lightfooted flying of LeeAnne Coon, Parvatee Snyder, Sydney Lancaster and Jocelyn Wagner.
Moorefield’s Schanica Barthelemy replaced Lancaster in the 4×200 relay team to secure the bronze medal.
Lancaster returned in the shuttle hurdles for fourth place alongside Coon, Snyder and Wagner.
The middle distance running and long distance coverage has set a good pace as Chloe Leroux relies on her soccer endurance taking fifth place in the 800 and 1600 meter runs.
Moorefield’s Faith Snyder, Omayeris Ortiz-Martinez, Madison Thompson and Elizabeth Williams are providing solid mid-distance support.
Moorefield’s Brylee Reel has built lots of arms strength as a barrel racer holding the reins of the horse and applied that mettle in shot put and discus for Top-8 finishes so far.
Conditioning and stamina from soccer, wrestling, golf and volleyball will give the Yellow Jackets an improved path to Charleston. The Throwing potential of Kailynn Penkov and Veronica Carr and the steady pace of Keria Cornett, Elizabeth Williams, Parvatee Snyder and LeeAnne Coon will complement the journey to the finish line.
The Yellow Jackets keep buzzing along with a trip to East Hardy tomorrow and a home match on April 7.
The Potomac Valley Conference and Region II Tournament meets will be in Keyser this year.
