This week in CV track, 4.28-5.3

Sierra Suazo on her way to the shot record
under the watchful eye of Coach Johnston


Another action packed week for us. A goal, an outline of the week, schedules, and entries below...

Goal for this week

To fine tune for next week's league meet, and to be well trained for multi-day competitions like league and state. (There are three varsity meets just this week, and that may lead athletes to think that the coaches' idea is to beat the crap out of you and/or work you to near death, but it is the opposite. Our wish is to prepare you for next week by having you tuned up for your events, focused, and rested. Except strange conditions, no athlete should be in more than 2 of these meets and an absolute maximum of six events.)

Monday

  • This day is almost now over. Yay
  • Senior ditch day is gone. I hope all kids were in school or excused by their parents
  • Athletes that went to prom and stayed up all night: your focus is on getting recovered by sleeping a ton in order to be ready for all that we have this week

Tuesday

  • Practice at 3:15
  • CRMS track meet
  • It's dead, finally!!! A new 300m
    hurdle record of 48.48. Great job, Gorham
  • This may be the last practice for some athletes (talk to your event coach about continuing with the team--some may say yes, some no)

Wednesday

Thursday

  • Practice at 3:15

Friday

  • Varsity meet: Pueblo Twilight @ CSU Pueblo's Thunderbowl
    • Competing athletes released at 10:00am, bus leaves at 10:30am
    • All athletes will travel to the meet, and back on the bus
      • Parents, you're more than welcome at the meet, but your kids are with us down there and back
      • Athletes: talk to your teachers about missing class and work being done in your absence
      • This meet goes late. Be prepared. Food, clothes, water.
    • See schedules and entries below

As always these may change as the week goes on. Check back.

Post-prom, post-Liberty Bell, new week post

Weekend wrap up

Nothing like the Liberty Bell to help you learn where your strengths are as a track team. Nice job to all those that competed. We learned a lot about what we have as far as a team goes. It is extremely hard to do well at the Liberty Bell, and I think for the most part we fared well.

Great showing to those that went to Palmer Ridge as well. A lot of the athletes that showed up went home with some new PRs. Most of those came in some pretty stiff winds. Isabell Castillo, had a huge day: 1st in the triple jump, made finals in her first time doing the long jump,  and a new PR of 65.35 in the 400. Nice job Isabell, and all the rest. Keep working hard.

Prom goers, I hope you had a fantastic and safe time. If you were up all night you need to put a lot of focus on recovering this week.

Liberty Bell Pictures

Once again, Ms. Mueller has taken some fantastic pictures. Check them out below. Also, go to the Meet pictures tab and check out all the images from this seasons varsity meets.

Pre-prom open thread



Feast your eyes below kiddies, for we have provided you a glimpse into our former years of awesomeness that helped pave the way to whom we are today.

This is an open thread, which basically means you are more than invited to leave your comments. All (appropriate ones) will be posted. Do your best (or worst, even).

You may want to play this as you go through this thread


Coach Johnston and his courtess, Sarah Honkington

I'm...speechless, but once   twice   thrice   final


Coach Wardell and her beau, Graham Wellington

Nothing quite says budding romance like a back ground of steamy sewer lines and a tug boat's trail of exhaust

Coach Cook and her fella, Will Lasso

Four for the price of one! What a treat Coach Cook has given us.
Will Lasso had to play a gig before the dance, but according to all reports they had a great time.

Coach Whitenack and his enchantress, Beverly Sullivan

Sure this is a homecoming pic, but I couldn't repeat again. Try here for a prom pic I posted 2 years ago.
The look on my face might say constipated, but the cardigan and collarless shirt screamed party. Once again, I out kicked my coverage with my date--much, MUCH too good for me.

Coach Kriz and his date, Becky from the 90s Sitcom Full House

Uncle Jesse might have been mad, but Kriz might have been a star himself, just not sure which one...
THIS ONE    or   THIS ONE?

Coach Munoz and his date, Darlene Pepsi

Any Saved by the Bell fans out there? AC Slater, anyone? 

Coach Kuhn with his squeeze, Cheyanne Mankiller

No one wants to  be seen in this picture, other than Kuhn. I'm sure it's just coincidence...

Coach Harris

I'd personally give a week's lunch money to see this one, and I hope you feel the same way.

Coach Pfeiffer

He said there was no way he was going through his storage to find one. If I know one thing, you guys can be very persuasive (if not also manipulative, coercive, pestering, unfair, and perhaps even a little evil). I bet a strong force could make it happen. You are our only hope.


Always,

Coach Nack

4.21.2014

Week of 4.21 to 4.26

1. Julie Mackin comes from behind to overtake the competition at the DRHS Invite on Saturday.
2. I Really don't want to seem unsportsmanlike or anything, but what are Wheat Ridge's hips and feet doing? Try to find pictures of yourself from our meet pictures and see how your form looks. Pictures of yourself in competition can be helpful.
3. Check out all the great pics from the meet on the Meet Pictures tab at the top. I added a new feature that puts the latest meet into a slideshow.
We have another chock-a-block full week ahead of us. It becomes all the more important during these busy, stressful, event-filled weeks that athletes are resting really well at night--remember: you make your improvements in rest periods following workouts, and not during the workouts themselves. Eat a lot, too (preferably healthy, but most of all, eat!). Drink an ocean of water everyday.

We just finished today off, and I can't speak for everyone but I can confidently say that it was the best day the 400/800 group has had this season. Really good work put in by Ryan, Nico, Sydney D, Sydney C, Lauren P, Jackson C, Brian C, Sam W, and Isabell C. It was long, but they all maintained the quality throughout the whole thing. All this work is going to amount to something good.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) we have a CRMS meet on our track. Go Knights! A few athletes will be tasked with helping, but most will be completing their workouts somewhere off the track.

Wednesday we will practice as normal until about 5pm, and then at that point we will break off and do our 10k relay to celebrate the end of our fundraising efforts.

Thursday we have our JV championship meet at Regis Jesuit High School.
  • Attending athletes will be released at 215pm
  • Bus leaves at 230pm
  • No return bus, so athletes need to set up a ride home before attending the meet
  • Most JV athletes will still have 1 more meet next week
Friday we have the first day of the two-day Liberty Bell Invitational at Litteleton Public Schools stadium.
  • No school this day, so no early release
  • No JV practice
  • Athletes attending prom should be taking care of all prom issues so they can be at the meet by 330
  • Bus leaves from CV at 230pm
  • No return bus
Saturday
  • Another split varsity meet
    • One group will be at the 2nd day of the Liberty Bell Invitational
      • Bus leaves at 815
      • No return bus
      • Athletes attending prom must be in attendance until 2pm
    • A second group will compete at the Palmer Ridge Invitational
      • No bus there or back
  • Prom
    • The coaches hope you guys have a ton of fun. Prom is a really fun experience when you attend with the right group of people
    • Please be safe and make smart choices
    • You will most likely stay up long into the night--please sleep a ton on Sunday to recover...ignore your parents pleas to wake up as much as possible
    • (Monday is senior ditch day--a rite of passage to many. If you are absent from school make sure you are excused. Make doubly sure you are not absent from practice.)

Entries

Check back throughout the week for entries. Some athletes that have been running varsity may be attending the JV meet this week instead of, or coupled with running at a varsity meet. This may be because we are putting some focus on this JV championship meet, or because of how we plan to run our varsity league meet in two weeks. This week you may be better off competing at our JV championship and the 6 teams that will be there.

Christian Mueller with a view of the track few of us ever experience.

We have two varsity meets for athletes to attend this week. The only way that this is possible is by having really good communication, which involves the athlete as a listener/viewer. Thankfully we have this wonderful technology to help. Refer back to this post when you have questions...

The Jaguar Invitational

This meet is at Sports Authority Stadium in Parker. Entries for this meet are at the bottom.

Mack Pettit nailing the school record (5'5"), which Ms. Mueller caught from a distance.
The tent serves as scale for the height of her jump.

Dakota Ridge Invitational

This meet is at JeffCo Stadium at 6th and Kipling. This is where the state meet is, which is one of the main reasons we go to this meet.
