SUMMER CAMP UPDATE

This has been a pretty great Summer thus far for the Spartan Summer Track & Field Camp.

We have a number of 8th graders and a couple of incoming 9th graders that have not only impressed me, but have impressed the staff.

Week one we did some introductions and such. Last week we did some general testing. This week we started on hurdles. Yes, HURDLES!

This was the most popular subject that each camper seemed to want to try and every one was actually pretty good at learning and trying them.

Campers were taught how to properly execute baton handoffs and we concluded the session by running three 4 x 100 relay teams.  Each student did remarkably well.

This upcoming Monday, we shall likely continue to work on them and maybe introduce the turbo javelin. We would like to work high jump the week after.
