Experience helps for any team when competing at the state level. For the Knoxville Boys Track and Field squad many of the Panthers have already run at the Drake Blue Oval in either the state meet or the Drake Relays. Coach Mike Cunningham the Second says there is no way to explain what the athletes will see one they step out of the tunnel at drake stadium. He ads since many of his guys have run there, it is an advantage over many of the athletes that qualify who have not.
