Weir had many thoughts of not doing track and field her senior year, but she had great friends who pushed her to do it. “My friend Sydney Kovach convinced me to do it one last year.” Weir gave great advice for the new students joining the track and field team in the new years to come. “Always work hard and don’t stop if you don’t get it right the first time.”
