Golden Eagles –
This past weekend gave us the chance to learn at the USU track & field clinics. For the athletes that attended it provided a great opportunity to learn, relearn, and perfect their skills for this season. There were several new things that I learned at this clinic. There were also many that were good reminders. There were two main things that stood out to me from all of the clinics, it doesn’t matter if you do distance, throws, jumps, hurdles, or sprints you should all be using the weight room & working on your core. We just wanted to put another push for all of you to get into the weight room, use the time at this point of your season to work on building your strength in the weight room. There were other things that stood out at the clinic that we will bring up in practice.
Now this upcoming weekend (Friday January 14 & Saturday 15) is the BYU indoor invitational. This is the first meet of the year and it gives you a chance to set a mark for the season. To see where you are at and to see the work that you have been putting in pay off. We encourage everyone on our TEAM to compete in this meet. Now this meet is a pre-register meet. During practice you will need to sign up for whatever events you want to compete in, so the coaches can register you all by Friday at Noon. The cost is $4 dollars per event that you register for. You are allowed to compete in up to four (4) events. We will discuss this a little at practice on Monday. Further information and a schedule of events are attached below. There will also be meet information found in Coach Wyatt’s classroom. Also know that Admission for spectators is $2 for adults and non-participating students each day.
