COACH'S COMMENTS: The few events contested at this meet means that we have to
leave a lot of teammates on the sidelines. Some other schools chose to enter
far fewer athletes than we did, in an effort to score as many points as
possible (for instance, 40 of Clinton's points came from one athlete winning
four events). We use this meet for two purposes: as a chance to see where we
stand against other teams in a few select events (e.g., the 4x4 and 4x2), and
to give as many of you as possible a chance to compete. All of you responded well
to the challenge; not one of you had a disappointing performance! This was a great
way to start off our season! Shot Put winner
Janessa Ostrand, Rock Island, 41' 2.25"
COMMENTS: It was great to see
both of you throw so consistently; 7 of your 8 throws were within 18 inches of
each other. Consistency is key in field events, and to be so close to (or ahead
of) last year's PRs is encouraging this early in the year! Long Jump winner
Ines Fischer, Clinton, 16' 5.5”
COMMENTS: As with the throwers,
consistency on the take-off board makes all the difference at this point in the
season. Later in the year, as you get more speed and technique, then what
happens after the board will be more important, but to have no fouls in the
entire series is fantastic! High Jump winner
S. Nitz, Moline, 5’ 2”
COMMENTS: Despite not having
competed in this event since your sophomore year, you made the right
adjustments after your misses at 4'10" and 5'0". Once we get some
real practice time in the coming weeks, expect to be challenging 5'2" or
higher on a regular basis! 55H winner
Ines Fischer, Clinton, 8.52 MR
COMMENTS: You both start this
season faster than you did last season, and for Jerika that's also ahead of
Toccara's time last year! You'll both go even faster when you improve your
flight phase (especially reducing "floating" over the hurdles) and
improve your speed through sprint workouts. Great job! 55 winner
Tia Harvey, Rock Island, 7.31 MR
COMMENTS: The early-season nature
of this meet showed in both of your starts, which were almost pop-ups. We'll
get more practice in coming weeks, and you'll be able to improve your
acceleration phase as a result. Be sure to sprint relaxed but with strong arms
all the way through the line. Nice races! 4x800 Relay 10th place,
11:26.71 winner
Iowa City, 10:08.49
COMMENTS: After Sarah and Tarah
gave us a big lead on 3rd, it was essentially a timed effort for
Cassie and Kate. They would have run faster with some competition, but it was
nice to have a solid position up near the front! The first two legs showed some
real determination to get us off to a great start–and this was over 30 seconds
faster than our best time last year! Great job! 400 winner
Ines Fischer, Clinton, 62.81
COMMENTS: Both of you raced
competitively, and handily took care of the opposition! Both of you will also
run much faster this year–Sara when you're in a race with someone else in front
of you, and Jayomie when you get more experience at the high-school level. This
was an encouraging first race for both of you! 4x200 4th place,
1:55.84 winner
Rock Island, 1:52.67
COMMENTS: This was exciting!
Despite the last-second adjustment on the missing acceleration zone, our handoffs
were safe and we were always at the front. You've started the season within 5
seconds of where you ended last season–before
we've started any real speedwork! Great job! 1600 winner
Samantha Sidwell, Iowa City, 5:39.63
