1st in Indoor & Outdoor Conference Meets
The strength of relays is the mark of a good track and field team, and Minooka qualified all four of its relays for the IHSA State Finals in 2019. This came after a successful regular season, during which they won both the indoor and outdoor SPC Championship meets. In addition to the four relays, Minooka also qualified for state in five other events. DaVonte Welcher achieved all-state status by placing 7th in the long jump at the state finals.
