  • Most of the performances on the track and in the field went very well.
  • In spite of being early in the season and having almost no time to prepare outside last week, our exchanges, hurdling, jumping, throwing, starts, and other specific skills looked pretty good.  
  • Most importantly, we again brought our best sportsmanship, integrity and toughness!!!
Stolen from legendary coach, Joe Newton, I asked all of you at the beginning of the season these three questions:
  1. Can I trust you?
  2. Do you expect excellence?
  3. Do you love MHS Trojan Track & Field?
With three meets and 20 practices under our belts, we're a 1/3 of the way through our season and your actions have answered yes over and again.  

How do we move forward?
  1. With spring break on the horizon, continue to answer "yes."
    1. make good choices
    2. work hard
    3. take care of your teammates
    4. have fun
  2. Let me get out of the way - continue to lead!
    1. when you have the chance to do good, take it.
  3. ABE - Always be evaluating.  
    1. ask yourself, "what went well today?" - "what could I have done better?" 

A BIG THANK YOU TO COACH NYE AND THE THROWING CREW!!!
Yesterday, they spent the day cleaning and setting up our shot put and discus area!
