Track and Field
Head Coach: John Bolding
Running Rams update!
The Running Rams Track and Field athletes are preparing for yet another spectacular year. The
team has more than 40 athletes on its roster with many returning high performing athletes that
placed well at the State Championship last year. Coach Bolding is excited to have Donnis Cowart
join the coaching staff to take over the sprinters, as well as Elaine Evans to assist with the
training of other non-sprinting events. With the expansion of the coaching staff, many returning
veteran athletes, and the recruit of many new athletes with great potential, Coach Bolding
hopes this will be the year both the girls and boys will bring home the state titles as a team and
not just individual events. The Marion community is invited and encouraged to come support
their Rams this season, particularly on March 8th and March 29th. On those two dates, the Rams
will be competing in a track meet at the local track on Marion Military Institute’s campus. This
will be a great opportunity to witness the Running Rams’ prowess if you’ve yet to see them in
action. The Rams will also travel to UWA on March 14th, Central High School on April 5th,
Sectionals at Loachapoka High School on April 25-26th, and finally the State Championship at
Cullman High School on May 2-3rd.
