Summer Track Opportunities

Last Friday we had the opportunity to watch 3 of our Lakers at State Track, what a great day.  Although nobody made finals we watched some of the best Laker performances in history.  

Alison and Caitlan in the 400, and Kiley in the 100, all were great to watch.  While Alison and Caitlan ran what was a great heat for the circumstances, Kiley got stuck in the fastest heat of all time in the 100.  We want to congratulate them all on their performances.

While they were just getting warmed up, next year is going to be the key to each.  While Kiley is going off to College to impress new coaches with his speed.   The girls will be coming back, to show the state-what another year of training can do. Fall-Soccer, winter( nordic and hoops), and Awesomeness in the spring!

Well it is summer and we have many opportunities for Laker track athletes, 

1:  weight room is open from 6:30-8:30 with Duffy- if you have not gotten stronger, this is the way.  This is at the shed at the track

2:  Track is form 8-10 and 3:30-5:00 at the Track, Distance and training in the morning, skill and technique in the afternoon

3: Vaulting with Robbie: You know when and where. Mostly Fridays at 10!!!
