CONTESTS

 Our handbook covers our expectation of how our team should conduct themselves, especially when on the road.

Mr. Magee has sent me some expectations the school would like followed while we are at other sporting events involving the school.  They are similar. We represent the community as well as the school.

Since you all have passes to games, I encourage you to attend and cheer on your friends and classmates in a positive manner. 

I ALSO encourage you to ask your friends to attend our home Cross Country meets and cheer on both the Boys and Girls teams. We are also wearing the school colors as they are!

They don't necessarily have to understand our sport, but they can help encourage us ( after all, I hear a whistle in field hockey and I have no idea what happened...but it does not prevent me from positively cheering for our school).

Have fun at these games as they are part of your overall high school experiences. 

WHILE YOU ARE AT IT...recruit folks for INDOOR AND OUTDOOR TRACK AND FIELD!

LONG JUMP & RELAY

 Tianna Bartoletta demonstrates Long Jump, then shows you what a relay is SUPPOSED to look like.

FIELD EVENTS AND HURDLES

Here are some of the best ever from the United States in these four events.  While I do not expect any of you to do what they have done, they all started out just like you.

Long Jump - Jackie Joyner Kersee  the World's best ever Athlete

Watch each video to conclusion, there are a lot of clues you can catch.

Michelle Carter - National Record holder in the Shot put

Coach Morrissey shall eventually teach you this technique...take time to learn

Vashti Cunningham Bronze Medalist in the  Olympic High Jump clears 2 meters

That is over six feet. Right now you are learning what to do on the ground, this also takes time to learn.

Gail Devers in the 100 meter hurdles - Wins World title, but also won Olympic 100 meter dash.

Hurdling is a Sprint first! Coach Gorman will help get you there!

She is even a friend of your Coach!
