The Knoxville Girls Track and Field Squad has been knocking at the door of a South Central Conference title for the last few seasons. Finishing in the top half has been good, but Coach Michael Splavec thinks with a few events going their way, the Panthers can steal a conference title, but it will have to come down to everyone on the team buying in, something he is confident will happen.

Splavec: “I’d love to say we can steal a conference title, the freshman group this year, was middle school conference champions last year. I’d love to see us in the top 2 of the conference this year, maybe put the pieces together. That’s always a goal to win the conference and I think the kids are buying into that.”

The Panthers will see many of the fellow conference teams through the season prior to the conference meet which is in Centerville this season. The Panthers will next be in action at the DeWitt Invitational at Clarke on Tuesday.
