The cancellation of spring sports in Iowa recently left several local athletes disappointed that their seasons were lost. For eight girls on the Knoxville Track and Field Squad, that meant their careers were over. Coach Brad McWilliams tells KRLS Sports the seniors not only lost the season, but the rest of the school year and other activities away from the track.

McWilliams:
“Was definitely looking forward to this spring, had some talented kids among that group coming back in that senior class and some talented newcomers. Really disappointed for hose kids not just for that but prom and graduation it was just a tough situation for those kids all the way around.”

The eight seniors that saw their Knoxville career come to an end were Katie Keitges, Abby Jackson, Charlie Vermeer, Raeghan Breazeale, Claire Fay, Lauren Micetich, Mira Wilson, and Emma Goemaat.
