Tack back on the track attack!!

Dylan Tack is being all he can be.

And while that slogan may be from the wrong branch of the military, it is true the Coupeville High School grad is excelling at the next level. Currently attending the United States Merchant Marine Academy in New York, he has also found time to star on the track oval.

Picking the biggest highlight from his indoor track season might be tough, as there have been a bunch of them.

Running at the Fast Track Challenge in mid-February, he helped set a Landmark Conference record in the distance medley relay. With Tack running a crucial leg, his squad blew across the finish line in 10 minutes, 33.87 seconds.

He has also been chipping away at the USMMA record book, having run the fourth-fastest time in school history in the 600 meters (1:12.16) and 12th-fastest time in the 500 meters (1:07.54).
