SHERIDAN — As was the case during the three qualifying meets the Sheridan High School indoor track and field team competed in during the 2020-21 season, the state championship meet at the Gillette Sports Complex Feb. 27 featured an even-keeled team determined to maintain the championship precedent set by Sheridan’s two previous teams. 

“They never get high or low, they just stay calm,” head coach Taylor Kelting said. “If they won or lost a couple races, their facial features always stayed the same. … I was telling our coaches at the state meet, ‘Look, it’s just like it’s another meet to them.’ And they always did what they needed to do.”

The Broncs’ attitudes, Sheridan’s history of success and a season of dedication despite coronavirus-related protocols and an amended state championship qualifying structure led the boys indoor track and field team to handily win its third championship in a row. The three-peat is the first in the program’s history, according to Sheridan Activities and Athletics Director Don Julian.
