Jefferson City track coach Dan Ridgeway isn't overthinking the start to the new season.
He understands the first step in a new season is rather simple. If you don't have athletes who want to compete, success won't come easy.
"We want to see who is going to compete," Ridgeway said as the Jays and Lady Jays prepare to open the season this afternoon at Adkins Stadium against Helias.
"We're trying to find kids who want to be varsity track athletes."
