SHERIDAN — To officially start the indoor track and field season Monday, Sheridan High School head coach Taylor Kelting stood in front of a smaller-than-normal group of athletes seated on the visiting team’s bleachers at Homer Scott Field. Though this indoor track season will not escape untouched by coronavirus protocols, Kelting began by reminding the Broncs and Lady Broncs of the team’s mission statement, which remains unscathed despite changes to the season.

“Being a good person, being a better student and coming here and being the best athlete that you can be — that’s the main thing we’ve talked the past five years about,” Kelting said. “We’re striving to be better each and every day.”

The mid-distance and long-distance coach Art Baures addressed student-athletes who formed a semi-circle around him on the sideline of the field.

“Just talking to them for five minutes, they were thrilled,” Baures said. “They told me in the hallway today how excited they were to get back to practice.”
