While the indoor track and field season generally is used as a tuneup for the bigger spring season, Barnegat coach Joe Doviak has reason to believe this winter might be full of a bit more than the average buildup to April.

“We are excited about this upcoming season,” Doviak said. “Many of our athletes are eager to start competing on the track. We are young in some areas, but experienced and very talented in others. Our strengths are sprints, relays and hurdles.
