Record boards


Among all the construction in the McCann Center this past summer, we proactively had our track record boards removed from the wall in the hallway leading to the locker rooms and training room in the building. With all the banging and the dust, we wanted to preserve these precious boards. So for the past several months, the record boards have been hiding behind the door to my office. Now that the locker room construction has been completed and the hallway is freshly painted, our record boards are back up on the wall and fully updated with the many – and I do mean MANY – school records that were set or broken in 2018 and 2017. Walking past that record board every day gives our athletes incentive to Be Better, and we’re glad the visual is back up there. Records are made to be broken, and the old marks are now in a small cardboard box on the desk in my office. I don’t have the heart to throw them away – the records are broken, but the memories of the athletes who set them remain strong.
