Abby Phillips is a junior at Jefferson-Morgan High School who participates on the Jefferson-Morgan track team.

There are four events that Abby participates in. She does the long/triple jump, high jump, shot put, and discus. Her favorite out of those is the high jump. “It is very difficult for me to beat other people because of my height. But I enjoy the difficulty,” said Phillips.

Phillips says bus rides are something she likes about the track team. Everyone has a love/hate relationship with each other. That makes things more interesting for everybody. Her favorite memory from last year’s season was throwing and spending time with her friends.

For this season, Abby has three main goals. “1.) To throw the shot put 3 ft. 2.) To high jump 4”4’  3.) To throw discus 9 ft,” she answered. She’s hoping to fulfill these goals within this season.

Abby has been a part of the J-M track team since her freshman year. She plans on participating  her senior year too, she says it is a great way to meet new people.
