Boys Indoor Track & Field Season Preview: 

The boys Indoor Track & Field team will be bringing back stong returners from last year's Top 15 team at the 3A Maryland State Championships. Returning State Qualifiers Joey Pinto (Sr. Pole Vault), Peter Kamanu (Jr. Pole Vault), Justin Chappell (Jr. 4x800), Mack McKeever (Jr. 4x800), and Alex Lombardo (Jr. 4x800) look to lead the Patriots this year. Quite a few newcomers look to also make their presence known in the competitive County, CMC, and 3A West Region meets. Overall, the Patriots are in good position to send multiple student-athletes over many event areas to the State Championships and improve upon their position from last year.
