Analysis: Tracht has been a key member of the Carroll program since she arrived and has helped her Dragons squad continue to advance to state and win trophies and qualify for NXN Nationals. However, this season could be a totally different role for Tracht. She could assume the #1 spot for one of Texas' most consistent powerhouse teams. She comes in with a fast 17:54.79 from the district meet and a true 5K best of 18:04.10 at NXN South Regionals where she showed her ability to lead Carroll with that big time race. Tracht also had a good 2017 track season when she added an indoor 5:12.62 mile PR, 4:59.00 1600m PR, and a 10:46.45 3200m PR.
If there is any doubt whether Tracht will be ready to lead and continue the Carroll tradition, just remember she is in the hands of Coach Leonard and we all know how that story usually ends.
