Titan Track Bulletin - Feb 25, 2013

TITAN TRACK GOAL FOR THE WEEK:  TO GET IN SOME QUALITY TRAINING WHILE OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE WEATHER!!!

 

We train every day of the year under all conditions… A junior once asked me, "What would we do if there was an earthquake and the epicenter was right here?" My answer was, "Then we would run right down to the middle of the Earth!"
–Maria Moniz Pereira (coach of 1984 marathon gold medalist Carlos Lopez)

 

OUTDOOR MEETINGS

We had about 135 at the two meetings Thursday and Friday. Hopefully, all 135 plus many more will "see the light" and stick with the sport. If you missed the meetings, drop by room 2118 to pick up the paperwork and fill out an info card.

WORKOUTS THIS WEEK

We are at the mercy of the weather. We will not workout Monday- go support the Boys Basketball team. We will workout Tuesday. Plan on and be prepared to go outside. However, if it looks like we can get more accomplished inside, this will be the plan:

Sprints- Inside for drills and conditioning

Hurdles- Inside for introductory drills and conditioning

High Jump- Inside for introductory drills and conditioning

Long Jump/Pole Vault- Sprinters Workout

Shot, Disc and Jav- Inside for introductory drills

Distance- Outside, of course.

We will make workout plans each day according to the weather and facility availability.

U MAKEUP

Many of you have "U’s". You can start making them up after practice each day. All "U’s" must be cleared before you can compete (except for the Intrasquad meet), get a locker, or receive a uniform.

ALUMNI UPDATE

At the Big Sky Championships, Mayra Franco ran a couple great times of 7.30 in the 55m dash and 25.02 in the 200m dash. Lindsey McFarland ran a great leg on the 2^nd place Distance Medley Relay. At the Great West Championships in Houston, Brandon Yardley placed 3^rd and Jaxon Hansen 7^th in the 800m run. They both ran 1:58's in the trials, but a little slower in the finals.
