WESTERN MASS HEPTATHLON DAY 1 & 2: MUST READ
Bus leaves at 2:00 to Northampton High School.
Meet starts at 3:30.
Apparently the timer will not arrive until 4:30.
SO: High jump and Shot put shall be first. I would like to do high first and then go to shot which is on the other side of the facility, unless Coach Carr can be there earlier.
High Jump plan: do warm-up drills. Get our marks. REMEMBER to keep your behind OUT of the tub.
You get 6 attempts total ( but I hear they shall give you 3 attempts at your last height).
It they go to hurdles, then you can hurdle and throw shot afterwards. Heats are random in the running events.
Do hurdle drills with Coach Gorman
Final event is the 200 meter dash. use blocks if you know how.
First 40 meters GET OUT THERE!
From 40 meters to the passing zone's first triangle...work the turn.
From the first triangle to the finish line..GET TALL and PUSH!
Lean at the finish line the way I have taught you.
DAY 2 (Tuesday): BRITTANY HRDLICKA can help us with the javelin. I shall bring turbos so we can work on crossovers and penultimates on Monday.
I shall be at the Long Jump to help with marks, but WE ALL must help one another with marks!
Emily Baker should have ALL of your distances.
800 meters.
My suggestion is that you run the first 200 easy and try to run the 2nd 200 just a wee bit harder...THEN
try to pick up the pace a bit and FINISH STRONG.
Here is an example of a 3:00 minute 800
1:32 400 followed by a 1:28 400 (:46, :46, :44, :44)
Each event has a point value based upon performance.
Here is a link to scoring:

Here is a link that converts feet to metric ( for field events)
Play round with this if you are setting goals for yourself.
WHITE TEAM: Afonso, Fox, Jarzabski
GREY TEAM: Voight, Baker, Rushford
WEAR SPARTAN INVITATIONAL SHIRTS AS WELL
