Week Two preview - March 8 - 13

I’m back!  The experience at the World Master Indoor Championships was awesome.  I had the opportunity to talk with many athletes and coaches.  We’re moving Shorewood Track and Field in a good direction.  I will share some of my observations over the coming weeks – I’m wound up, and more committed to our vision and our training philosophy.

Our Vision:   “Inspiring a life-long passion for track and field and athletics”

We have 128 student athletes on the active roster!  60 of you attended all five training sessions last week – you are to be commended. 

It’s not too late to start track and field – recruit your friends, lets’ get more kids out!

Eligibility:  All of the following criteria need to be met before you can participate in the first track meet on Thursday March 25^th.

1. Yellow card – if you are practicing you already completed this.
2. Safety form signed by you and your parents
3. Paid the ASB fee
4. Paid the Athletic Fee
5. Watched the harassment video in the last two years – signed the form.
6. Completed 10 training sessions.
7. If running start – complete the running start forms.
8. Do not have academic or other eligibility issues. 

Weather this week:
Monday – Cloudy – 48 degrees.
Tuesday – Cloudy – 46 degrees.
Wednesday – Showers – 50 degrees.
Thursday – Cloudy – 54 degrees.
Friday – Cloudy/Rain – 54 degrees.

Why the weather forecast? – Wear you sweats!  Shoreline Stadium is ALWAYS much cooler then the listed temperature.  To help prevent injury and to maximize the benefit of your training session you need to get your body core temperature up.  You also need the sweats available after your workout so you cool down efficiently. 

Thanks you everyone who volunteered at the Boosters Auction!  The boosters have been very good to the track and field team and without their support we would not have the equipment we need to help you be GREAT student athletes.
