Bradley Retirement Party & 50 Year Track & Field Reunion

Well we did it!!! Many thanks to - Nancy Bradley, the Merris', Curt Rogers & all others that contributed in anyway! We never can thank all the people enough and someone is always missed, so a BIG THANKS TO ALL!!

Retired coaches were awesome! Between the history of Coach Kane, the great stories of Coach Warfel, and the special words from Coach Cochran the tradition of Hempfield Track was obviously built of a solid foundation! And to the SMOOTH handoff from Coach Bradley to the new coach Curt Rogerss - the program is in excellent hands!

Hempfield Alum! Drew Nesbitt and Nate Kraft provided great insight into an athletes perspective into the program! And allllllllll the other Alum! I know Coach Bradley wanted to talk about you all, from the atlethetes that have set records to the athletes that may have only scored 1 varsity point - YOU ALL WERE CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS!!!

From my perspective, Hempfield Track will have another great 50 years! And the girls are next! In a few years they will have a celebration! The early years we were two seperate programs & now we are one! This Blog will begin to follow both progarms from this point - so welcome ladies!!

I will continue to share stories, pictures, old articles and the latest track news! And, if you have any comments or suggestions be honest & I will try to keep the blog flowing!!!
