RANKINGS OUT

The State rankings have been released, but the Western portion of the State has no representation. So (in Spartanesque fashion), we have calculated which people on our team are in the top 50!

CSI: #14 in the State.

Mount Everett #29 in the State also ranked #9.

Boomayay #13 in the State also ranked #11.

Axel #45 in the State.

FloJo #45 in the State.

Bootstrap #41 in the State.

Killer #4 in the State.

4 x 200 #6 in the State

4 x 400 #42 in the State

Of course this is all subject to change, but let's APPLAUD everyone right NOW!

SCHOOL CLOSING

Today the school is closed, therefore there is no official practice (including Shot Put at 5:30).
It is important that you consider exactly what it is you want to do on Friday and bring that information to the table on Thursday and suggest it to the leadership of the team.
It is also equally important that you do a physical activity today, which includes doing your warmup drills. This could involve shoveling snow or running around in your neighborhood after the streets are plowed.
But most of all BE SAFE! Don't take any ridiculous chances as you are more important to the team healthy than injured.
USE TODAY TO SHOW WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED THUS FAR!

HURDLES AND SHOT PUT

We will now be doing HURDLES on MONDAY NIGHTS and SHOT PUT on WEDNESDAY NIGHTS. The switch is due to the fact that we have someone that can attend on that night!

FIRST DAY OF PRACTICE

Good day by most accounts. We'll continue to work on drills, drills and more drills. There are some folks that were notably absent. We need to find out if they are going to attend or simply "take time off".

You all know that those that want to be successful in the Spring NEED to participate in the Winter. Those that start out in the Spring are already three months behind and can't get caught up.
