2026 Track and Field Season Wrap Up with Head Coach Tim Lazelle.

1:Looking back on the entire season, what are you most proud of when it comes to how this team grew—either on the field/diamond/course as people?

The team grew closer as individuals all attaining a common goal - improving their athletic abilities. It was amazing to watch everyone encourage each other to become better, even the friendly rivals.

2:What do you feel was the biggest area of improvement for the team from the start of the season to the end, and what do you credit for that progress?

Camaraderie. Many people entered Track and Field either trying it out for fun or because their friends were here. What it turned into was a support group for athletic improvement. I credit this to the nature of the sport itself.

3:Are there any players that you would like to recognize either for how much they improved, stepped up in big moments, or showed strong leadership?

Ashton Brown: Year-round training led him to finally achieving an opportunity to compete at the State Championship.
Charli Smith: Perseverance brought her from an average thrower to a State competitor in both of her throwing events.
Gilbert Rodriguez: A rookie to the sport. First time as a Sophomore. He found himself competing at State with the veterans.
Natalie Henry: A beacon of positivity that encouraged all of her teammates while competing against them - a difficult feat to achieve.
Audreauna Kanios: Led the team from behind the scenes. Stepped up to the political challenges of leading the team as an ASB member as well as attending the Community Facility Meetings on her own accord.

4:What are your top 1–2 priorities or areas of focus for next season to take the program to the next level?

The welcoming community of Track and Field is well established. It is time to now push excellence.

5:Looking at the seniors or graduating players, what lasting impact do you hope they've taken from this season beyond just the wins and losses?

I hope our graduating athletes take with them the positivity, inclusivity, and the yearning to grow into their adult lives.

6:If you had to pick one key lesson or takeaway from this season that you'll carry into next year (as a coach or for the program), what would it be?

Encouragement goes a lot further than criticism.

Hello Eagle families!

First off, congratulations to all our state competitors! With a special shout out to Carson Anderson for becoming the state champion in the discus ambulatory division!

Great job to all of our athletes!



Apologies to the Seniors that the banquet is after graduation this year. We normally have an extra week of school after state, and everything was booked already. This was the best day I had available.

State Highlights! 🦅💙

🦅💙 Huge shoutout to our Elma Eagles Track & Field state competitors! 💙🦅

We are so proud of every athlete who made it to state this season. All the hard work, long practices, early mornings, sore legs, and determination got you here — and it showed.

Getting to state is a big deal, and you represented Elma with heart, grit, and pride. No matter how things ended, you gave it your all and made this community proud.

Thank you for an awesome season and for wearing the blue and white with pride. 💙🤍🦅
