in Practice by coach mike on 28 Feb 2009
First meet is 1 week away-SIU Indoor- We have been able to get some good work in this past week-we had some good days of weather. The vaulters were able to spend some time in the air and the high jumpers were able to get some jumps in. Then the weather turned nasty again on Friday. But it is still February. Also the shot putters were able to get a lot of throws in. Some of the guys are liking strong for so early, I have been impressed with J. Kubicki and his work outs. Also Nix and Goff have look strong. I’m sure Jones has been getting his work in, i know Friday he went 9 miles. This all goes back to a good fall cross country season. I have almost 25 sophomores and freshmen on the roster so far, that is a bunch. Some of them will need to help us on the varsity level. Areas of concern-discus (still don’t know if Conklin will be out to throw), sprints-(Doug has been working hard but the rest of the spots are question marks-but hey whats new, right!). Concerned with the young jumpers-long and triple-I have not put a lot into it yet. The big issue will be as always, keeping things all together! Some of the questions will be answered next Saturday at the indoor.
