September Testing!

Each year I find it prudent to test the abilities of my athletes. This helps me to monitor their progress throughout the fall track season. During the course of the season we have weekly races that allow me to see if they are improving. These tests allow both myself and the athletes a chance to see where they are. Additionally the athletes get a chance to compete against one another.

The most important aspect of this testing, in my mind, is feedback. Below I have supplied charts that show how each athlete fared compared with last year. Keep in mind that last year we tested after four weeks of track practice had passed. This year we are testing immediately. Our testing will be limited to the Standing Long Jump (SLJ), Flying 30m Dash, 30m from 3pt and Over Head Backward shot toss (OHB.)

We have a new timing system this year and I am looking forward to setting it up today and putting it through its paces. Our timing system allows us to automatically time each athlete up to the thousandth of a second. Furthermore we are able to quickly and efficiently time athlete after athlete.
