Hey Creighton Men’s Basketball deserve some love as they r 12-2 with wins over Texas Tech , Arizona St , Oklahoma ,& last night routed Marquette ! BIG EAST MBB Only L’s to nationally ranked unbeaten San Diego State & Michigan .

Have always loved being friends with my competitors ever since starting this sport. Being aloof doesn’t give you an advantage- you can still bring every bit of your A game against friends. You just miss out on one of the best aspects of sport— the relationships.

Let it go with 8:24 on the clock and 8 seconds on the shot clock 🤭 #ForKobe

A thread. Last September I wrote about OPS' decision to cancel fall sports, including XC. OPS athletes and coaches were devastated, while virtually every other high school program carried on with COVID-safe protocols. Here's the original article. nebraskaelitetc.org/single-post/20…

#5 Five of the 10 athletes I interviewed had hoped to run in college. Only 2 ran T&F this spring, and both have struggled to regain the form from fall 2019 that had led to interest from colleges. The top prospect, with hopes of a top-5 finish last fall, is no longer running.

#7 At Class A Districts, from the 7 OPS schools with enrollment of over 10,000 students, 4 boys and 0 girls ran the 3200, while 8 boys and 5 girls ran the 1600. As many as 21 OPS boys/girls could have run each race.

#End Remind them that some kids don't really like school, but sports gets them engaged and keeps them enrolled. It gets them to graduation. It teaches them resilience. It teaches them to be a better person. It gives them life.

what the sport is all about!

Your season/career is over. You didn't make varsity. You didn't qualify for State. You didn't medal. You didn't do your best. Get over yourself. You won. nebraskaelitetc.org/single-post/20… (I wrote this in October for distance runners but it applies to any high school athlete.)

from a spectator point of view this is an upgrade. however, this should be about the student athletes. they have worked hard for this all their lives, and they should be given optimal rest time for all athletes to be able to compete at their best. this just doesn’t do that.

Pre-race huddles - an old one that ages well. ⁦Millard West XC and Track & Field⁩

all classes should be ran together, allows smaller classes to get noticed. i ran at state in 2019, the atmosphere from everyone is unmatchable. also, the athletes deserve enough time between events to be able to compete at their best. this doesn’t allow that to happen.
