Coach Olsen brings out the Best in all of her athletes. Hersey athletes are lucky to have such a knowledgeable, inspiring, caring coach.

Huge day for @HerseyGirlsTrac yesterday, winning Palatine Relays. Special shout out to Emilia for breaking our oldest school record - set in 1976 - with a long jump of 5.55 m (18 feet 2 1/2 inches). She also had a huge clearance over a 5 foot HJ bar. Big things coming!
