Lakes Meet On Weds.

For the Boy's team: We are still in the hunt for the league title. Hopefully Yelm will bump off Shelton and we will win the rest of our duel meets. This would create a three way tie going into the league championships. Everyone is important to pull this off. I see potential for improvement throughout the team because of our youth and inexperience. Our ability to generate points should only improve. In the duel meets we will ask you to do just a bit more. When we go to invites we will allow you to focus more on your main event. For instance if your main event is shot put and you also pole vault, then your focus would be shot put. In a duel meet however, you might be expected to pole vault to pick up points. We should be undefeated, but did not go into the Shelton meet with this philosophy.
The Bremerton Relays was an exception to this rule. Because it was a relay we needed our best three or four performers in each event- even if you didn't consider yourself that good. For instance we might have two 6' high jumpers, but not a third jumper, so our total would have been 12' and a non - place. Add a 5' jumper and you have 17' and a first place.

Distance runners. Good work out on Saturday. It was a little wet and a tad windy, but we accomplished much and it will begin to show.

See you at practice!
