Cool temps (upper 40s/low 50s with drizzle rain)
I arrived at the track at 330 to find out there was a middle school track meet starting at 4pm. Since we have a 300m turf inside lane, we did our work on turf today while the meet was going.
My 200/400 types did 5x200 at selected goal paces. There is certainly better consistency and less booty lock on these runs now. One of my indoor 400m guys, G, ran 5x200 with 200m jog (slow, but still jogged), all in 26.
My hurdlers did 1/2 spacing (every 5 yds) drills for 8 hurdles working on individual technical issues. This was the first time we did this and it was amazing how the issues the guys have came out during this drill.

Baton practice and relay step check for those running in Saturday’s invitational meet.
My boys 4x100 is using the entire acceleration zone. So far they have run 45.3 for four guys who run between 11.5-11.9. The next few weekends should be interesting as they will have some teams faster than us. I’m hoping to see them drop a nice 44 second time shortly. Not sure we can go 43 this year. Last year 44.1 was the last qualifying time for state finals. low 43s do well and 42s win.
Will post Saturday results later!
