Start of 2012 Season

Its hard to believe but the start of the season is almost here. Please meet at the cafe on Tuesday for the start of practice. We will fill out some paperwork and then move to the track. The plan for the day is to go through the warm up routine, complete a brief sprinters workout, try some of the field events, and then go through the cool down routine. Please arrange to be picked up from the track by 4:30pm.

The Season is Almost Here

Welcome to the Sparta Middle School Boy's Track and Field Team blog. More information will be posted as the season arrives, but here's some preseason info. Coach Cnossen and I are looking forward to a great season.

• Those interested in throwing shot-put: Coach Noom (our throwing coach) is currently working with track athletes Mon - Thu. at the high school starting at 2:45. He has put together a weightlifting and conditioning program from throwers and is providing the opportunity for athletes to get into throwing shape prior to the start of the season. Feel free to come up and join him.

• Sprinters: The above conditioning program would be a great thing for you to get into if you are looking to get started. Feel free to join the throwers even if you have no intention of throwing. Additionally, contact Coach Landry if you are interested in setting up a preseason sprinters workout to help get you ready for the upcoming season.

• Mid-distance & distance runners: It is never to early to begin running and preparing for the season. I highly encourage you to start running and logging some mileage before we officially start meeting on Mar. 20. You can either join Coach Thocher's running club, or contact Coach Landry and he will put together a preseason plan for you. Additionally, I will be here several days a week after school running so you are welcome to join me. Contact me for more info.

Thanks everyone. We are looking forward to a great season.

Coach Landry
