Just the line-up sheet for tomorrow. And...some notes =)
Notice that some our athletes are decreasing in the number of events they compete in, while increasing in the specificity of their events. An area where I differ from some of my fellow coaches, is that I don't feel it is necessary to spread a team out to fill all events. I want kids to find something they like and to get good at it.
For example, Evelyn Tichenor is fast enough to run on any relay and in any open event 400m and under. She is high jumping. She likes it and she's good at it.
As the season winds down, the event focus increases.
Here are just some of the bright spots in the quest for State qualifications out of the current Region 2 Class 2A rankings -
Mackenzie - 4th 300h
Caroline - 11th 300h
Evelyn - tied for 2nd in HJ
Alexis and Marley - top 20 100m
Maggie - top 20 200m
Sadie - 13th 3200
Allison - top 20 in 800m
Jarrett - 5th 1600m, 2nd 3200m
Nathan - 11th 1600m
Isaiah - 13th 100m
Ethan - 14th 300h
And many more - we have a lot to be excited for as the post-season rapidly approaches. Personal records (PR's) are a top priority, only second to kids being healthy and having fun. Everyone sing "rain, rain, go away" and let's have another great meet tomorrow.
