CL boys track team working on maximizing points

    The Clear Lake boys track team jumped into the season with both feet last week, participating in three meets.  Coach A.J. Feuerbach said his squad is doing just what he hoped-- scoring more points each time out.
    “I’m proud of the efforts of our athletes.   We will continue to get the lineup set so that we can maximize our points.  Our team times overall are the best in my five years as the head coach, but still not where they need to be to win events.  We’ll keep working hard to improve,” he said.
