It may be a very young sprinters group of the Knoxville Girls Track and Field Squad in 2018. Coach Brad McWilliams tells KNIA/KRLS many of the girls you heard on the air playing basketball like Marley McKay, Tara Uitermarkt, and Maggie Wilkins, who all were key contributors to the basketball season. Add to that group Jalen Nelson, Rachel Garrison, and Jamie Beal you have a sprinting group that is loaded with freshmen. McWilliams adds they will need to score points early on in the meets. McWilliams says the conference meet is always the meet they have a goal of winning, and he makes sure he has the best athletes in each event.
