Entries for SCC Housatonic Championships Tuesday January 8, 2010

Here are the entries for the SCC Housatonic Championships on Tuesday. Please note if you are listed and what events you are in. For the relays, the first 4 names are those that are running and the 5th is the alternate. Unfortunately, we had a crazy practice with the whole activity fee confusion and I did not get to talk to everyone. Basically, everyone should be in the races they wanted. This is a Championship meet and we are looking for the win, so this event is about the team as a whole and you may need to help by running slightly out of event. For those of you not listed here, you will be running in the SCC Novice Meet. I think this is a strong team and I'm definitely pumped to see everyone compete in a championship type setting.

Developmental Meet 2 Splits

After looking things over and thinking about the meet, this was kind of a blah meet for most individuals. I got the feeling a lot of people did not have their heads in the meet and there seemed to be a lack of excitement and intensity. I will discuss this more in depth at practice today. I apologize if I could not get all of your splits. Unlike last time, I did not have Coach D helping me time but I did my best.

SMR 1
Theresa 32.?
Elena ?
Emily K 1:15.45
Hayley 2:57
5:19
Was expecting a little faster out of this group. Shake it off.Times will come down

SMR 2
Carla 31.29 Solid split
Wendy ?
Amanda 1:17 I'm still trying to figure out what events suit you best. I like how you're willing to mix things up and try different distances. This will help you.
Tesni 2:46 (Solid race for being injured and this being your first race on the track in a while, nice job)
5:09
Decent time and was basically what I was expecting, good job.

SMR 3
Caroline?
Veronica K ?
Saparja 1:19 I think this could get much faster
Jenna H 2:47 Solid race for first time on the track this season
5:15
Solid Time, nice job girls.

SMR 4
Courtney 33.? Definitely could be faster, it will come
Emily?
Shreya 1:15 I think this can get faster
Abby 3:07. We will try to work on a little leg turnover for you. You have the strength
5:29

HH
Emily 10.9 Improvement from last time I believe. Nice job

55
Akorfa- 9.16 Roughly what you ran at the last meet. You're a little wobbly at the start and need to focus on keeping a straight line. Practice this when we do drills and keep it in your mind when we do workouts

Carla- 8.21 Not as good as last race, this will improve though

Ally- 8.06 Well Done

Theresa- 8.34 You were a little wobbly at the start as well. Focus on your form

Courtney- 8.21 Improvement from last meet, nice job

Kayla- Basically what you ran last time. I feel like once your knee is 100% we'll be in business

Lizzie- 8.29 First meet, nice job

Veronica- 9.16 Improvement from last time, nice job. Lets break 9 next time

Caroline- 9.32 I think this can be a lot faster

Elena- 8.51 A little off from last meet. We will work on this

Amanda- 8.65 First time trying this, now you have a feel for it

Saparja- 8.38 Way off from last time. Refocus yourself and you'll be back into things

Jenna P- 9.6 Same as Saparja

600
Veronica C 43 51 52 2:27. Went out a little quick. Want to think about being a little more conservative in the beginning then picking it up

Shreya 39 1:24 2:08- I feel like this will improve. Nice job

Meghan 37 40 40 1:57 Not bad Not great. You can do much better

Wendy 37 1:18 2:03. Same as Meghan. Thanks for helping time in the mile

Hannah 38 ? 2:04. First time in this event. You have a feel for what it is like now

Sharon 26 1:18 2:03. Same as Meghan and Wendy. I feel like this can be much faster

300
Akorfa 1:03.36. Again as before. A little wobbly. We need to work on your form. You will take time off any distance once we get that in check.

Emily K 52.9 Decent race. This will improve

Jenna P 57.5 Not a bad race. You will get faster

1600
Jenna 42 44 45 45 3:47 48 48 41 6:05. Started off nicely and settled in then fell back but came back with a nice last lap. Good job for first time on the track. This will improve

Abby 45 48 49 50 48 50 49 47 6:30. Similar race as Jenna. You had a really nice last 400 and picked off some girls. We will try to work on spreading that over more of the race. Nice job

Tesni 42 44 46 46 48 48 43 6:08. I know this isn't what you wanted. You've been hurt though and its your first race in a few months. Shake it off. You had a nice last 200m. Refocus and you will be fine.

Hannah 46 48 49 50 51 51 51 44 6:34. Pretty consistent effort, thats what I like to see. We'll work on getting some of those middle laps down. Good effort.

4x400
Ally 1:08
Meghan 1:11
Lizzie 1:12
Sharon 1:10

4:44.Not bad Not great. Was expecting a little faster but thats ok. Again, as I said for many of you. Refocus yourself and you will be fine.

That should do it. Again, I apologize if I missed your splits. It got a little crazy timing everyone especially if there were multiple people in your heat. I think a lot of you need to bring a little more fire to practice and this will show in your races.

Thank You

A big thank you to all the parents for their help putting on the pasta party tonight. Track can sometimes be an independent sport, but it's events like tonight that really bring a team together and it is things like this that our athletes will remember as they move on with their high school careers and beyond. So thanks again!

Busy Week Ahead!

I hope everyone enjoyed their Holiday Break! We have a busy week ahead with our second Developmental Meet on Thursday and the Hartford Public Meet on Saturday. Here is training for the week as it stands now. Obviously, it can change and be revised with weather and whatever else might come up. I remind everyone to come to practice prepared to run in any kind of environment.

Monday- Sprints- We will be working out inside since the track is probably not available. 2 sets of 4x200m getting increasingly faster. 2 minute rest between each 200m and 5 minute rest between sets. 5 minute rest then full hallway sprints and walking the sides. We will do 2 of these.
Distance- We will be outside. Experienced girls will warmup to the linear path on N.Brooksvale. Threshold/Tempo pace from the linear path to Cornwall Ave. 5 minute recovery then 6x40 second blasts (These take the place of 200's). Cool-down going up Cornwall.
Less experienced girls will warmup to the linear path on Higgins and run threshold/tempo pace to Cornwall. 5 minute recovery then 8x40 second blasts. Cool-down going up Cornwall.

Tuesday-Sprints/Distnace- Everyone will do an easy run 2-5 miles with several strides afterwards. We will also practice starts. Choose events for Thursday's Meet.

Wednesday- Premeet day for those running at the Developmental Meet. Sprinters running Hartford Public- Easy distance followed by 6x Full Hallway. Coach Gunneson will be coming to help with field events. If you participate in a field event, you will also be working with her.
