Brunswick People:

This photo is from 2009 and shows the Girls Indoor Track Team and their two coaches. Despite the loss of some key runners, the team had a fantastic year. With eleven new additions to the team, overall the GITT had an amazing season. Both Becky Kaler and Sophie Grizzle led the team in their meets and qualified for the State Championships. The rest of the team did great as well and the efforts helped the Brunswick Girls Indoor Track Team to have an outstanding season. One of the major advantages of Indoor track is that competitions are held in a weatherproof environment unaffected by snow or rain of the winter months Most indoor tracks are climate controlled, so the temperature inside is warm, which is ideal for track competition. The lack of breeze crossing through the track makes it great for the vertical jumps. Pole vaulters and high jumpers often perform well indoors because they don't have to worry about wind impeding them during a vault or jump, or worse, knocking the bar off the standards if they slightly brush it during an attempt. This also benefits runners, who don't have to worry about being slowed down by running into a breeze.
