Getting Ready for Track and Field Conference

There are plenty of new faces on the KSSB Track team, and they are working hard to find the events they want to compete in at Conference. Running the straight track, working on the jumps, and running for distance are part of the everyday practice. The athletes only have until Sept. 27th to prepare for the North Central Association of Schools for the Blind (NCASB), Track and Field Conference. Look for updated information after the athletes pick their final events for the competition.

This year the big event is being held in Indianapolis, Indiana. The KSSB Team has to work fast to build up their speed and strength for the conference weekend of Sept. 28th & 29th. After the fall track and field event look for photos and highlights of the competition.

There are twelve schools in the North Central Association of Schools for the Blind.
