Iowa Indoor InvitationalMEET RESULTS IOWA INDOOR
INVITATIONAL Saturday,
March 12, 2005 HEAD
COACH'S COMMENTS: This meet replaces what used to be the indoor State meet, and
has become probably one of the top five competitive meets of the season. You
all rose to the level of the competition, and should be pleased with your
improvement since the first meet. This is still early in the season, though,
with our "real" training still to come after the last indoor meet
this week. Appreciate your good performances at this meet, but be ready to work
harder in the coming weeks! Shot Put Group
A winner Danica Haight, Iowa City West, 42' 0.25"
COMMENTS: After the unbridled
success of our early season, several of you were a little surprised to not have
another "breakthrough" meet. Just remember that in a technical event
like the shot, small changes in technique can have a big impact on performance;
yet those small technical changes can be difficult to master. You're still
lifting hard and learning the event. Be patient, and you'll see continued
improvement! Long Jump Group
A winner Mallory Henderson, Mt. Pleasant, 16' 10.5"
COMMENTS: A few more fouls than
last week, but that's to be expected as you add speed to your approach.
Christina has had more experience with the hang technique of the flight phase;
as the rest of you get more practice at it, you'll be able to maximize your
time in the airwhich is the entire point, after all! Just focus on hitting
the board every time, and jumping as high as possible! Nice job on the medal,
Christina! High Jump Group
A winner Lindsay Scott, Mt. Pleasant, 5 5
COMMENTS: You were able to rely
on your excellent explosiveness off the apron while you're still learning the
approach steps. This will take a while, so expect to have more meets like this
where you have a miss at a lower height then an easy clearance at a higher one.
Congratulations on your first high-school medal! 3000 winner
Caedryn Schrunk, Spirit Lake, 10:29.66
COMMENTS: You ran much more
aggressively than last week, but you're capable of even better races. As you
gain confidence and experience, you'll be more inclined to stick with the front
of the first pack rather than the middle of the chase group. You made the right
decision in not waiting with the crowd, and striking out on your own. Nice job! 4x800 Relay 12:59.88, 48th
place, winner West Des
Moines Valley, 9:43.47
COMMENTS: We were fortunate to
have another team right in front of us to chase the entire way. That should be
your focus in every raceto be right on someone's shoulder, and compete with
everyone in front of you! You all showed big improvement over your first race,
partly from two weeks of training and partly from being competitive. Our next
focus will be to learn to run fast at the end of the race, even when you're
tired. Well done! 11:34.09, 30th
place
