BW intinerary

SJA @ BW Indoor
Sunday, July 31, 2016

Make sure you have a medical release form (from BW) filled out and given to Coach Kieser.  These will be passed out at practice and emailed.

There will be a bus for drop off only.  A van will stay the whole meet and bring back anybody who still needs a ride.  We are assuming because the meet is so close most of you will have a ride home after your event is done.  Also, if you have a late event you do NOT need to get to the meet early.  We CANNOT predict what time you will run.  This is a new meet – we don’t know how many teams, etc…are there.  Please don’t ask when we’ll be done!  NOBODY KNOWS!!!

8:45 – van leaves SJA with Coach Kieser for HJ and PV…rest of field events take bus because boys go first.
9:45 – bus leaves SJA with the rest of the events.  Drop off only!!!!

Week of Jan 11 workouts

Hi All!!

Results from Saturday's meet will be posted on our team website - www.sjatrackandfield.blogspot.com

You all did a very good job of approaching your events with a good attitude and taking it for what its worth - a glorified practice.  Now that you have a baseline you can start working toward improvements from week to week.

Below is the weekly schedule and at the very bottom is the itinerary for Thursday's meet.  We have too many people to include everyone - events are limited to 3 per school, so if you're not running in the meet this Thursday you WILL run in the meet at Geneva in 2 weeks.

Monday, Jan 11 - we have no gym access on this day
sprinters 3:15-4:45 at SJA - expect to do some running in the halls...this will be the "longer" day.
distance - 3:15-4:45 at SJA - it will be cold, but if you prefer to run outside OR have a legit way to run on a treadmill then you can do either of those, otherwise we will do something in the halls.

Tuesday, Jan 12 - 
sprinters no practice
distance - 3:15-4:45 - at SJA...temps should be 28 degrees, so expect a harder day outside - please dress accordingly.

Wednesday, Jan 13 - early dismissal day!
sprinters - 2:15-3:45 in the gym and weight room

distance - individually pick between Wed and Fri for doing a full weight room set on your own.  Include some core on this!

Madison Wilson - meet with Coach Kieser for shot put practice

Thursday - meet at Geneva (its called the SPIRE Institute)
This is a "league".  You will compete against the same schools 3 times over the next 5 weeks.  This is a GREAT thing for us to be apart of.  The idea is to make it happen FAST.  When we are there keep the facility clean, help in any way you can like moving hurdles, etc...Coaches will be put to work so you HAVE to pay attention to the events.  There is a JV mile that will start approximately at 5:30.  It is unofficial so we have to get our own times and we have to get warmed up immediately.  If you're in a field event or hurdles, we will use this day as a practice - don't freak out!!!

If your parents can come up to help, the meet managers would appreciate the extra volunteers!

Oberlin Itinerary

SJA @ Oberlin #1
Saturday, January 9, 2016

Remember, the main purpose of this meet is to shake off cobwebs.  NO INJURIES…don’t “battle through” anything.  This is very LOW KEY.  There were only 7 relay teams in the 4 x 800 and we had 6 of them, so expect the same this time.  Some of you “shin” people should wear regular running shoes and not spike up for this.

Everybody should focus on having a very solid warm-up.  Distance people – get outside and do a legit 15 minutes plus drills.  Use the outdoor tracks – it should be warm enough.

9:00am – girls pole vault…McGuire, Larkman (I expect a separate ride strategy will exist for you both)

9:30 – bus leaves SJA for Oberlin College (parents should look for athletic facilities buildings)

Running events begin at 11:30
55H prelims – no entries
55 Dash prelims – Boland, Corrigan, Diaz, Drellishak, Fallon, Fine, Flanagan, Gonzalez, Monica Hahn, Hollenbeck, Horner, Howe, Johanek, Larkman, Logar, Meyer, O’Toole, Polito, Reilly, Saldana, Siy, Straka, Wilson, Wrenn, Zawie

4 x 800
A – Battistoni, Seymour, Morgan, M. Wagner 11
B – Conway, C. Wagner, Dabydeen, Hyland
C – Ferrara, Johnson, Kelley, Maher
D – McAfee, McGuire, Patton, Miczak
E – M. Wagner10, Perkins, Saul, Stalder
F – Meg Hahn, White, Beech Coreno

Gaspar – I know you aren’t listed on a team but I GUARANTEE someone won’t be able to go, so count on running on one of these teams. 

Fallon and Boland you are the subs after Gaspar, so be alert!

4 x 200
A – Monica Hahn, Zawie, Wrenn, Meyer
B – Hollenbeck, Horner, Logar, Flanagan

55H finals
55 dash finals (if we have anyone qualify we won’t race her if she is in the 4 x 200 also)

We will leave after this. 


Expected return time to SJA is 2:30 (hopefully sooner – this is an inexact science!!)

Week of January 4

Hi all!  Happy New Year!!

There are many points to review in this email, so I'll get to it.

1.  Please welcome to our new Coach Heather Bailes to the program.  She has coached volleyball previously at SJA and has a background in jumps and hurdles.  She and Coach Williams will cover all aspects of sprints for indoors.  I will have mid-distance and distance both indoors and out.

2.  Check our meet schedule on the team website - www.sjatrackandfield.blogspot.com.  Look at the top for the tab "indoor track and field schedule 2016"

3.  There is a meet this Saturday at Oberlin...a schedule will come out soon for this, but sprinters can expect to run the 55m dash and the distance can expect to run the 4 x 800.  

4.  Because there is a meet Sat, we need to practice ahead of time at least a little (you should be doing something on your own!!!)

Wed: sprinters at SJA from 2:00-3:30 in the afternoon
Wed: distance at SJA from 3:00-4:30 in the afternoon

Thurs: sprinters at SJA from 2:00-3:30 in the afternoon
Thurs: distance at south mastick 3:00-4:30 in the afternoon

5.  Because there is a meet and because there are practices you HAVE to have your paperwork up-to-date.  Mr. Manuszak sent the email to everyone who needs to get that going.  Get that done before Wed!

6.  Dress appropriately for practices!  Hats, gloves, tights, etc...expect to be outside whenever it is reasonable.

7.  Have good shoes and spikes!

8.  We will pass out uniforms this week...please have solid black shorts or tights to wear at meets.  All black - no white stripes of any kind!!

9.  Our focus for indoors is health, overall fitness, and a suitable background for outdoors.

10.  Happy belated birthday Ceci!!!
