Despite snow still being on the ground, track and field season is fast approaching.

Nicole Unrau, Head Coach of the HCI Mohawks Track and Field team, says the team has begun practicing this week with noon hour conditioning.

"The athletes have to attend three of the five conditioning practices to be eligible for our HCI team. It just includes a variety of fitness activities."

She adds that every day during the conditioning week has a different activity.
