The 2023 boys and girls track teams at Triton Central will be led by talented cores of upperclassmen, with several new faces also on both teams.
One major change for the Tigers track program is former coach Greg Hill is making a return to coaching this season. With a talented team behind him, he is glad for the opportunity to be back with the program again.
