Holt’s connection to the sport runs deep. A decorated athlete in her own right, she was a high school track star and later earned the title of Track & Field MVP. Her own experiences have shaped her belief in the power of the sport, and she’s determined to share that with the next generation. This year marks a significant milestone for Lexington, as it’s the first time the Parks & Recreation department has launched a track & field team. The excitement is palpable, and according to Holt, it's a collective effort. She highlights that everyone working alongside her is a volunteer, dedicating their time and energy out of a shared desire to see the program thrive and grow.
