Seniors, from left, Sheldon Trieb, Jacob Hoffhines, Joey Holek and Tony Miller are among the 11 that the boys track team will have to replace next year.

Other graduating boys are Kent Clubine, Ryan Hatfield, Aaron Knipp, Rodney Lobb, Matt Needham, Roger Robinson and Jacob Sledd. Aubrey Mikijanis was the only senior on the girls team.
