The Third Week

As we enter the third week of our season, the abilities of this team are beginning to take shape. Our returning athletes are regaining their feel for their events while our new athletes are starting to understand these different events. The uncertanty of the first week of practice is starting to dissapate and we have a better understanding of who we are as a team.

The focus for this week is to get ready for our first meet of the season. We will be holding "mini-meets" in the throwing and vertical jumping events to determine who will be considered varsity for the first meet. Meahwhile we will be teaching how to pass the baton for relays, how to start out of blocks for sprints, and how to triple jump. There are many things that need to be accomplished this week in order for us to be ready for our first meet. I know that if we are focused this week on learning and perfecting our events, we will be ready for next week's meet.
