2020 Season Kick-off

T&F Registration

Register For Spring Track Here to get started.  If you are not sure, sign in and make sure you are good to go.  You need to be fully registered and cleared to participate in the first practice.  In short... GET CLEARED SOON.

First Practice - Monday, March 2

Our first official practice is four weeks from today.  We will meet in the Aux Gym at 3:00pm.  

For those who are new, practice is daily, Monday-Friday, and Saturday mornings for varsity.  

February Sprint Training

Sprinters / Jumpers / Hurdlers

There is one month until practice officially starts.  You would be wise to get out to winter training as often as possible.  In February, I'm going to be providing as many opportunities as I can to help you prepare for the season.  I'm going to be at the track and in the weight room every day, including Saturdays until the season starts.  If it helps, pretend the season starts NOW.  See the February schedule below: 

If you are a top returner, or someone who has big goals or is interested in relays, we need to be training and learning every day.  Don't be bashful.  Everyone is welcome, and no one is perfect at the perfect!

- Sprinting is a skill.  Everyone needs to learn how to sprint better.  If you can't sprint well, it is very hard to jump far, jump high, or to be a fast hurdler. 

- There isn't a single athlete on the team who is a perfect sprinter, even the fastest ones.  What's important is that we are trying to get a little bit better at the drills and techniques involved every day, no matter where you start. 

- Once the season starts, it becomes more difficult to build the skills, especially at the beginning -- the group becomes much larger.

February Schedule

MONDAY - 2:45 at Track; No Weight Room

TUESDAY - 2:45 at Track; 4:15 Weight Room

EXTRA MORNING WEIGHT ROOM TIMES 

MONDAY - 6:00am until school, come any time before school starts to lift or work on sprint technique.

WEDNESDAY - 6:00am until school, come any time before school starts to lift or work on sprint technique.

FRIDAY - 6:00am until school, come any time before school starts to lift or work on sprint technique.

This is a lot of opportunity.  I'm making the space and the coaching available.  It's up to you to take advantage.  Figure out a schedule that works for you.  If you have questions, please ask!  

- Again, if it helps, pretend that track is starting right now.  The season is short, extend it by a month to give yourself an advantage.

IF YOU HAVE THEM, BRING YOUR SPRINT SPIKES EVERY DAY.  We won't use them every day, probably just three times, but you need to be in the habit of bringing them.  

GroupMe

Athletes, if you'd like to be included on the group chat for Winter Training (and the upcoming season), download the GroupMe app on your phone, and email Coach Whitmore the cell number.  He'll add you to the chat.  Or, find someone who's already in the chat, and have them add you.
