Hartford Public Splits/Feedback

Excellent job ladies. For not having raced in a while, I think everyone did quite well. The meet was run well and I'm proud of all of you. Its time to keep working hard and get ready for the Championship portion of our season.

Triple Jump- 14 Alisha W 30-07.25. Very impressed for not having practiced this. Nice job.

Pole Vault- 8 Jennifer J 8-06.00 State Qualifier. Nicely done.

Pole Vault- 12 Sarah S 8-00.00 State Qualifier. Very nice effort.

Shot Put- 1 Rachel A 42-11.75* Meet Record State Qualifier. Outstanding performance.

Long Jump- 16 Alisha W 15-00.00 State Qualifier. Nice job. Definitely need to take advantage of practice time though. You are very talented.

High Jump- 3 Kylee M J5-02.00 State Qualifier Season Best. Nicely done. Same as Alisha. You are so talented, just need to take a little more advantage of practice time for this event.

*I was glad I was finally able to see a lot of the field events. We are very talented and I was extremely impressed by all of you.

4x800m Relay- 5 Cheshire High School 10:30.15 State Qualifier

1) Amanda C 2:42 39 40 41 41 2) Sarah F 2:30 1:13 (400m) 39 38

3) Caitlyn C 2:44 40 41 42 41 4) Julie H 2:30 36 39 38 36

Nice job girls. For not having raced since before Christmas, I didn’t think this was a bad time. Everyone’s splits were more or less where I expected. Good job.

55m Dash- Ashia W Prelims 7.56 Finals 7 Ashia W 7.62 State Qualifier. Nice job. As we talked about at the meet though, your arms were everywhere and that definitely took away from your time. At practice constantly think about your form so when you get to the race its natural. Nice job.

41 Jillian Jackson 8.30. A little off from what I timed. Not a great race. You will bounce back. Stay focused.

600m- 9 Sarah F 1:44.89 5 State Qualifier 32.37 35.4 36.9. Another excellent race. You ran the same time as last time but you seemed stronger if that makes sense. We’re going to start implementing a little more turnover in your workouts and so get ready to start moving. Nicely done.

1 Mile- 11 Julie H 5:37.66 State Qualifier 41.5 40.61 41.32 41.3 42.19 43.95 44.4 42.12. I know this isn’t what you wanted but you ran a little faster than I expected. I think it was a great effort. You haven’t run the mile in a long time and you were coming off a good effort in the 4x800. Good job.

2 Mile- 6 Kathleen K 12:09.60 State Qualifier 44.5 (Long split) 43.36 43.51 45.64 44.91 45.2 45.9 45.49 45.89 47.5 46.01 46.5 47.8 47.98 45.29 43.73. Tough race. The Naugatuck girl took it out hard. You ran very smart and didn’t go with the chase pack. Sometimes there is nothing you can do in races like this but you ran hard and put in a great effort. Nicely done. I’m looking forward to your 1000m on Tuesday.

13 Amanda C 12:25.71 State Qualifier 45.88 (Long split) 43.94 44.49 45.36 46.48 47.22 48.53 48.08 47.14 47.85 47.89 47.40 48.18 I missed the remaining splits because I got too excited. Unbelievable race. You were worried going in for no reason. Great PR, nicely done.

4x400m Relay- Cheshire High School 4:22.67 State Qualifier

1) Taylor Altieri 10 1:07.58 2) Caitlyn Criscuolo 10 1:07.43

3) Kylee McIntosh 10 1:05.17 4) Casey Nowakowski 10 1:02.15

First time running this event this season. I think it was solid. Only a few seconds off where I thought you would be. Taylor, I think sitting around all day takes a lot out of you but that’s the nature of indoor track. Solid split, only going to improve. Caitlyn, I told you to run a 66 or 67 and you did. You have to start thinking positively though. This will improve, trust me. Kylee, nice job your time is only going to go down. Casey, very nice split.
