Last Week's Practice Recap:

Sprinters - Rank/Record Workout LINK

• Timed 10m flys, learned how R-S comes out of blocks, and ran first major lactic acidosis work out of the year (23-second drill)

• 10m Flys Key Takeaways - Started the season with max velocity in a great spot.  We had 12 guys hit 20 mph or better.  Every returning runner that did the drill improved their 10m-fly from last year.  

• The biggest improvements are Gabe Jonas (.10 better), Sam Knoll (.11 better), Jayden Strum (.14 better), and Cael Faber (.17 better). 

• 23-Second Drill Recap -  This went AWESOME for the group!  This was not only the best early season 23-second drill results ever but we were able to have the best results ever across every time we have done this drill. 

• Key Highlights include (23-Second Drill - Through the Years):  5 Guys over 200m which is tied for most in R-S history.

• Furthest a freshman has ever gone (L. Smith - 202m)

• Most over 190m we have ever had.

• Most freshmen over 195m ever (7). Most prior to this was 1.

• Heston’s 203m is tied for #1 ever (tied w/ his brother)

• 201m+  has only been done 8 total times before Friday and we had 4 guys hit that mark.

• Distance Guys

• Lots of Interval and easy tempo work to increase our speed and endurance last week.

• Interval work was 300m w/sub-minimal recovery time.   

  • We are way ahead of previous years here and the number of guys that are already hitting our interval goal times has been super impressive.

  • We need to keep pushing the mileage for some guys so as the year progresses and we increase our speed work you are able to finish races faster than ever before.
    

• Throwers

• We are so far ahead of our distances from last year it is exciting to see.  Last year at this time we didn’t have a discus guy throwing over 100’ or shot put guy throwing much over 36’

• As our season progresses it's exciting to think how much improvement we will see.  If we follow last year as a guideline we should see a 150’ discus guy and two 45’ shot put guys.
