Today was a recovery day for those that competed in yesterday’s double dual meet, tallying up 81 individual PR’s, and also a pre-meet day for those competing at tomorrow’s invitational at Sunset HS.

All four long jumpers for us at yesterday’s invitational were freshmen. Two made finals but all are learning, having fun, and are a pleasure to coach.

Freshman Keyra Adams won the 200m out of lane 1. In addition, she got 2nd in the 100m, and 7th in LJ.

🚨 Fast sprinting = HIGH MASS-SPECIFIC FORCES IN MINIMAL TIME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION* BUT we often forget that last one* If you don’t orient your force in the RIGHT direction, it doesn't matter how much force & how fast you can apply it — you won't move down the track faster!
