Not only is it a major advantage to have junior Anastacia ("Chachi") Gonzales consistently finishing in the top five at meets, Tate also said, "Molly Breuer and Savana Alt are seniors that have had injuries in the past and they are healthy and running fast, so that is a highlight."
It truly takes a healthy team to accomplish such a task as defending a state title, but the Chargers are on the move to make it happen again.

The boys' team is on the hunt as well to earn their own title of UIL 5A State Champions. With top runner Foster Wilfong leading the way for the Chargers, the team has rallied right there with him and have pushed themselves this season.
"The boys have been solid, but we are still trying to get everyone to run their best on the same day," Tate said.
He anticipates that to happen for district, regionals and state.
"Wilfong and Gonzales have performed at a very high level and have a chance to be in the mix for a top spot in Round Rock," Tate said. He went on to mention, "the great thing is they are both team-oriented."
For the Chargers, Tate said the team's focus is on themselves and what they control, knowing it takes a team mentality to have success in this sport.
Only a few more races until the big stage and the Chargers hope to come out on top!
