Interview: Derby Middle School Track Athletes & Coaches


DERBY — With the high school’s boys track team winning a state championship last week, Derby continues to have one of the best track and field programs in Connecticut.

One of the ingredients in the program’s success is the running program at Derby Middle School, which serves as a feeder system for the high school.

In this video episode of Navel Gazing: The Valley Indy Podcast,” I interview Derby Middle School track captains Emma Hyder & Cassie Silkoff, along with coaches Jennifer Andrews and Michael Gozzo.

Press play to watch! Please note there are some audio issues during the interview, which was recorded Friday using Zoom.
