The Atlantic boys track team is hitting on all cylinders heading into the State Qualifying Meet that will now be contested on Friday night in Carroll. The Trojans have picked up the pace in recent weeks with wins at their home meet and their second straight Hawkeye Ten Conference Championship. Atlantic Head Coach Jordan Mullen said he knew his team was on the right track after bouncing back from a lackluster meet in Council Bluffs a couple weeks ago.

The Trojans are in the midst of a very successful run as a program and Coach Mullen said that’s due to the trust and commitment to the team they have developed.

The Trojans contended for a State Championship right up to the last event of the State Meet last year and Coach Mullen knows they can be right there again if they focus on themselves.

The State Qualifying Meet in Carroll on Friday night is set to get underway at 4:00pm. The top two finishers in each event qualify for the State Meet along with the next 8 fastest times recorded across the state. A full list of qualifiers is anticipated to be compiled by Saturday afternoon.
