COMMENTS: Although the Varsity scored doesn't show it, this was a good outdoor
opener for us. The JV score is a more accurate reflection of where we are in
our training––still working hard, just beginning to prepare for our competition
phase. In every event in which we had a team or individual, we acquitted
ourselves well against the defending State champs and two other schools that
figure to place high at this year's State meet. The challenge in the coming
weeks will be to find athletes on our team to fill the "gaps" in our
entry card, especially in the 400––we had no entries in the 4x800, open 400, or
4x400. Be ready for the challenge! JV Shot Put winner
Laura Minchk, Iowa City, 36' 8" MR
Varsity Shot Put winner
Sarah Anciaux, Iowa City, 42' 2"
COMMENTS: I know that there was a
lot of puzzlement and frustration at not achieving greater distances in this
event. In performance sports like track & field, different points in the
season will yield greatly different outcomes because peak efforts are not part
of the plan for every point of the season. Right now you're still improving
your strength while at the same time trying to master small (but crucial)
details of your event. Plus, you're also learning to be consistent on each and
every throw, not just one great throw in the series. Be patient and persistent,
because you all have the makings of superior throwers! JV Discus winner
Katie Sherry, Iowa City, 97' 6.5" MR
Varsity Discus winner
Sarah Anciaux, Iowa City, 114' 6"
COMMENTS: Great start in this
event! The veterans opened with a big PR or within 4' of their PRs, which is
encouraging early in the season! Plus the rookies were up there too, which
bodes well for later. Be prepared for a roller-coaster learning curve, just
like in the shot, and continue to focus on what happens before the disc leaves
your hand! JV Long Jump
Varsity Long Jump winner
Tiffany Hendricks, Burlington, 17' 2.75" MR
COMMENTS: As in every field
event, consistency is key. You've got to take the same sized steps, at the same
speed, and have your body in the same position at the board on each and every
jump. Three of you did that very well, and Nina managed to pop one big one. Be
pleased with the marks you achieved, but be prepared to continue to work on
being a Xerox machine and "copy" your perfect jump! 3000 winner
Ruhee Arora, Iowa City, 11:20.69 MR
COMMENTS: You shouldn't be
surprised by an easy PR in this race, because you're capable of running much
faster! Learning to be consistent––both in training and in concentration––and
learning to push yourself more in the late stages of the race will be key as
you move into the low 12's. Nice job! JV 1600 Medley Relay 2nd place,
4:43.69
winner Iowa City,
4:41.76 MR
