LE ROY — An already small Southern Coffey County High track and field squad took a couple of tough blows before the season even started.
Seniors Karley Ohl and Emily Ludolph are down for most, if not all, of the 2025 campaign because of knee injuries.
Ohl, a multi-sport standout, is done for the year with a torn ACL.
“She’ll serve as our manager,” head coach Jeff True said.
It’s too soon to tell whether Ludolph — a state qualifier in the shot put last spring — will heal in time to compete.
“Right now, it’s a big question mark,” True said. “She’s been to a couple of doctors already. We’ll see how it goes.”
What remains is a squad consisting primarily of throwers.
On the girls side, fellow senior Kaytlynn Winn will compete in javelin, while juniors Miley Patterson, Hailey Honn and Melissa Edwards also will take part in throwing events.
Incoming freshman Cheyenne Dyke is the sole outlier on the girls’ side. She’ll run hurdles as well as the 200- and 400-meter dashes, True said, “or some combination of the three. She may also do some high jump, although it can be tough for younger athletes.”

Only two boys, sophomore Cyrus Nickel and incoming freshman Syrus Coder, will suit up for the Titans this spring.
“Right now, our numbers are down, but we expect them to rebound a bit in the near future,” True said.SOUTHERN COFFEY CO.
