Led by the return of 20 lettermen, the Humboldt boys’ track team expects to challenge again this season in North Central Conference track and field.
The numbers are strong again for the Wildcats and veteran head coach Greg Wickett and his staff. Last year Humboldt placed third in the NCC meet and qualified five events for the state meet, where the shuttle hurdle relay placed third.
“We have a nice number of kids out this year. We have 38 kids right now, which is more than average. Usually we’re in the low 30s. I’m happy with our total numbers and it is balanced pretty good by class,” Wickett said.
Humboldt will host the annual Charlie Bunn Relays on Thursday, April 6, starting at 5 p.m. with the field events.
