Congrats to the guys team for their victory this weekend!! They worked really hard and totally deserve it!! The girls had a much harder time and finished up second to Methodist, who is just too deep in the sprinting events. Congrats to the boy vaulters for taking 2,4,5 and 6!! Also Amanda cleared her first height and managed to get over 7'3"!!! I had a bad day, lets just leave it at that. guess they have to happen every once in a while, but hate that it had to be at conference.
Was so excited my fam could be there to visit though! It was great to see everyone!! I am really looking forward to heading home for the summer in few weeks!! Also so glad Andrew was able to stop by!! And Michael was able to stay long enough for the meet too, even though he had a really bad day of his own!
Crazy to think the semester is over, but looking forward to a change of pace. Have to refocus and get ready for two more last chance meets!

Morning Practice!
Got up bright and early this morning to go out to morning practice at 7:30 because I had to make up a test for tomorrow during practice this afternoon. It was fun running with Amanda and the weather was surprisingly nice! Luckily there were four sprinters out there so our endless relay work out worked. We ran laps as a group that consisted of a 1,1 and 2. This meant that the first person ran a 100, to the second who ran another 100, to the third who ran a 200, to the fourth person who started the set over with another 100. Each set consisted of all of us running a 100,100 and 200. We did 4 sets total. I was pleased with my running today. We did not time or anything, but they felt good. Not so tough that my legs will be sore for tomorrow.
Then I headed off to a busy day of classes. Physics lab went an hour longer than normal which was frustrating because I was late to make up my test, but it was pretty easy so I am confident in the grade. Then I headed back out to the track for our pre-meet meeting. The team set up the hurdles then we got the poles ready to go. Its been a very busy but very productive day. Not looking forward to the 6am bus tomorrow, but thats ok, the weekend should be fun!

222!!!
Today we got back to normal and had a monday jump day. We focused on some ground jumping then did a lot of short approach work. It was nice to just focus on some aspects of the take off from a three step today. I really had some great jumps today so I hope this can continue. Also, it was nice to welcome Amanda to the pole vault team for real today!! I hope she does awesome! It was a great day and a beautiful day to practice, a little windy though.
Then we went to the weight room to max for the first time in a long time. I was pretty certain my maxs had gone up based on the way i have been lifting lately but it was nice to find some actual numbers. To day we did back squats and full cleans. My goal for the year was to squat over 200 pounds ( last time my max was 191) Today I was able to rep 185 lbs 7 times which equaled a single rep max of about 220 lbs! way over the goal! Then we moved to full cleans, I still have not fully figured cleans out and feel like I should be able to lift more than I do. Today I managed 110 lbs 5 time which was my previous single rep max. This is the equivalent of about 124 lbs. So not too bad for me. Finished practice with a modified version of 2 min abs. I am definitely pleased and look forward to seeing how I do for the rest of the week.
On a much sadder note we had our good bye party for Patty tonight it was a nice party and a lot of people made it. This team is definitely going to miss her!!!!!!!!!

Glad its Friday!
It was kinda cold today and I was very sore going into practice this afternoon, so I was not really looking forward to going to practice. Got there around three fifteen so I could get approach work in before running the workout. The vaulters ended up starting to build our mat since they were finally brought out today. Then we got to work on the work out. Today we had 4x300 scheduled, usually not too bad but with the way my legs have been I knew it would be rough. Got through the first one alright at 53. The second and third one slowed some to 55s then 58s. But I was able to dig a little deeper for the last one and hit a 57. Not as fast as I would like but its been a long week.
Afterward we finished putting the mat together but could not find the weather cover. Went to dinner anyway then texted Coach Wingard to ask where it was. He responded as we were leaving and told us that it was under the bleachers. Fish Amanda and I sucked it out and walked back to the track to find it. It took us about 10 mins and a lot of exploring to find it. It was a pretty terrible job because it was huge and wet. Eventually we got it moving and luckily found a cart that made the whole process possible. Coach definitely owes us for this one!!!
