The Providence Catholic Celtic Boys' Track Team are in the midst of a rebuilding process after two conference championships and a runner-up the past three years.  Several 2008 graduates including: Sean Lindbloom at Notre Dame, Mark Coglianese at Eastern Illinois, Jason Vollmer at Southern Illinois, and Kevin Maloney at Marion College have gone on to continue their track and field careers at the next level.  In addition other recent state qualifiers from 2007 are competing at Illinois state (Dan Murphy) and North Central (Brandon Phillips).  Jordan Farrell and Ganon Novak, also part of state relay teams are continuing athletic careers in Football at Yale and St. Francis Universities respectively. Female standout from 2008 Eileen Moran is representing Princeton University after going downstate for PCHS and medaling in the Junior Olympics in the 4x400 relay this summer. Go Track!!! 

This years team is led by hurdler/sprinter Joey Michals, sprinter Greg Metelak, and Northwestern bound shot and disc thrower Patrick Ward.  Joey was a state qualifier last year in the 300m hurdles and the 4x400m relay.

The Celtics have a good young nucleus and look to have a great outdoor season and make another trip downstate.
