Brody Buffington, Dave Lillard, Catoctin Boys Track and Field

On the heels of Catoctin High School winnings its first state team championship for outdoor track and field, Dave Lillard, the boys coach for the Cougars, and Brody Buffington, the team’s star sprinter and jumper, are the guests this week on The Final Score podcast.

Lillard and Buffington chat with host Greg Swatek about how Catoctin was able to break through and win the Class 1A team championship for the boys. Buffington, who accounted for 30 of the team’s 73 points, talks about his jaw dropping times in the 100 - and 200-meter dashes and what it feels like to be able to run that fast. He also talks about giving up playing lacrosse in high school to focus strictly on his blossoming track-and-field career.

How is his summer shaping up in terms of training and competing in the outdoor national meet? How shocked is he by the times that he runs? And how much faster might he get next season with more experience and better health? Those topics are addressed as well.
