We had excellent weather this past week. We also had a great round of testing. It's been roughly four weeks since we began fall track and things have only gotten better with time. The kids got a chance to relax this week and find out where their fitness was. We tested standing long jump, standing triple jump, a football throw and also a timed 600m run.
I had originally hoped that we would have a few athletes around 1:30 for the men's 600m. I was hoping that we would have some girls run around 1:45 as well for the same distance. Boy was I surprised when we had five men run under 1:30 and four girls run under 1:45. To clarify the fastest time clocked by a male was 1:23 by Adou Omot and 1:40 for the women by freshman Anne Parsely. Talk about some athletes! Below are the videos of our testing.
To put this into context, last year we had two men break 1:30 when we tested late in October and not a single female under 1:45 last year. Looks like its going to be a great year!
