Varsity Track girls get new uniforms

By William Belson

The 2009, girls varsity track season is just around the corner bringing along the springtime awesomeness. With the new track season there also comes new uniforms for the girls squad this year, making it time for the girls’ old uniforms to go into retirement.

The old uniforms have been in use by the girls “from five to fifteen years,” said AD Mr. Hoeft, making it time for new uniforms to take the torch. “The old ones are tired and match quite poorly,” said Mr. Hoeft. That must be something the girls think. The uniforms will have “a little different of a style but no major changes,” said Mr. Hoeft

The money that is paying for the uniforms doesn’t just come out of thin air; the payment for the uniforms will come from our very own Pittsford cross country runners. Mr. Hoeft estimated that the new uni’s will cost a cool grand. Hopefully the uniforms will last the estimated ten years, which seems to be the normal life span.

The uniforms must be threadbare from the description, and no wonder the girls seem so ecstatic about the uniforms. “I am excited about them because our old uniforms were really, really old and we needed new ones” said sophomore Elainee Poling.

The girls will work their butts off in these new uniforms and supposedly look stylish doing it, so come watch them when meets start and see how the uniforms look.
