@LNEagleFootball
for a hard fought semifinal victory vs a tough Rockhurst team. On to the Championship next week!!!
Indoor workout to start spring break.This is the last of our progression of drills. A 3-step box pond hop. Focus on driving horizontally and landing on a loaded right with hard left block. 20 kids today got about 200 reps learning to throw the javelin without throwing a javelin.
This crew right here! Jav Squad 2022. 42 points scored tonight. Boys with the sweep. Girls go 1, 2, and 5. Back to work Monday. We have errors to fix and improvements to build on. These kids make this old man proud.
The “Launch Pad” is open for business. We had our first workout today on our new mondo runway! A HUGE thank you to all who donated to our project to make this dream a reality.The vision I had 6 years ago is now a reality. What a way to finish my track coaching career. WAR EAGLE

Good morning! It’s a beautiful day. My beautiful wife Christina posted this last night. As I recover and feel better I will reach out more. Please keep the prayers coming.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to me in the last few days. It has been overwhelming. I ask that you respect my wishes at this time to follow my battle using the caring bridge site above. Time is precious at this time.
Today’s Jav Squad focus was “pond hops.” Working the penultimate step learning to land on flexed right staying back and Keeping shoulders closed. Great drill for all level of throwers.
Beautiful day for a javelin clinic! Great work
@Coach_Rathke
and the Midwest Elite Throws Camp bringing in the best coaches to teach this event! Liberty North is honored to help host this event for a great group of javelin throwers.
Thank you to
@eastbuchtrack
for allowing us to train on your beautiful runway. Amazing facility for this class 2 program. We appreciate you letting us prep for our sectional championship this weekend.
Thank you
@KUMedCenter
for the incredible care over the weekend. The battle will go on, but Coach Peek won the battle this weekend. Time to boogie on home.
The junior season is a big one for recruiting purposes. Her junior season is now gonna be highlighted with practice videos continuing to work on the throws. Beautiful day for some hammer work. My daughter
@peek_kaitlin1
is determined to keep on keeping on toward the bigger goal.
Here’s the answer to my poll question. Fell in love with this event 35 years ago. At 50 I’m still trying to sling it around. This is the event and sport that put me on my path to college, teaching, and 24 years of teaching.

Officially a bearcat! Extremely blessed to announce that today I signed my national letter of intent. I am beyond thankful for the coaching staff I have had over the last three years. And to those who have been by my side through it all, thank you.
OABAAB
ALL GLORY TO GOD
Big throw today for
@peek_kaitlin1
40.44m. New PR and school record. Proud dad and coach today! This kid works tirelessly at her craft and has earned this moment. More to come!
@NWBearcatXCTF
We’ve built this program with great coaches who care about kids! Approximately 1 in 7 kids in our school of 2100 compete in track and field. My last “first day” of track was one to remember! WAR EAGLE!
It’s a sweep! Boys performed well tonight in the javelin.
@Matt_Morrison04
sets a new PR, Meet Record, and school record with a 60.77m 💣!
@justis_braden
takes the silver and
@calen_presser
takes the bronze.
Large group instruction today. Blessed to work with close to 30 kids who love the javelin. Finding some kids with natural talent. Will be a fun year for sure.
“F Cancer” attitude in full force tonight in Peek household. Day 1 of new Chemo regimen! Time to get nasty again against GBM! Can I get a repost with an “F Cancer” to kick off this fight?!?
Great night of competition from these two at the BIG BEEFER summer throws league. Casey Helm from Madison HS, KS goes 58.46 in the discus and 17.19 in the shot. Elan Moore from LS West goes 57.22 in the discus and 17.98 in the shot.

Here is my obligatory 1st day of school pic. Another day of firsts. Teaching virtually from a hospital room is a new one for me. Not how I pictured the 2020 school year starting. Year 24 off to a rocky start.
Great night tonight at the Big Beefer Javelin Throws night! Saw some big throws including the Nebraska girls state record broken! Back at it next week. Shot/Discus on Tuesday. Javelin Wednesday. All info at
Humbled to receive this recognition from my coaching peers at Liberty North! Congratulations also to Coach Lierman as being named assistant coach of the year. It’s ALWAYS a great day to be an EAGLE!

I hate cancer. But with my current “challenge” I’ve learned there’s no “cookie cutter” standard of care. Mistakes were made. Lives almost lost. Look out. Scorched earth coming with what I’ve learned in the last 48 hours.
Older group of javelin kids today focusing on mobility drills. This particular drill we are introducing the penultimate step and some javelin withdrawal combinations. I’m working with 30 javelin throwers this spring. Challenging and exciting at the same time.
Coaches and athletes here’s a great way to replicate the javelin throwing motion in your own backyard. If you’d like information on the javelin cable training email me at kpeek1125

Defended his Class 5 Javelin Title. today! This old track coach was watching from home recovering from surgery. I was so proud just watching the results online. But when I saw these photos it put things in a whole new perspective! Congrats!

Congratulations to

on being the state CHAMPION in the javelin throw. This caps a tremendous junior season! North Nation is proud of you!
Stopped by my office to do a little work and found stadium on full display. There’s something majestic about this pic that gets me fired up about athletics here

Jav Squad did a little project today. Concrete blankets down covered with plastic sheeting. Santa Claus delivering some mondo next week for our Jav runway!
Proud moment today for me! As our head boys coach and javelin coach I cannot be happier for our kids to have this runway project underway. Thank you to everyone who has supported our fundraising efforts to make this happen!

Attention: All-weather javelin runway coming this spring to Liberty North! Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraising efforts to make this dream a reality.
Sometimes it just needs to be said: I hate “F-ing Cancer!” It has taken away a lot from me this last 6 weeks but it won’t take my spirit or will to beat this MOFO into the ground. My strength is returning and the BATTLE is cranking back up you inglorious asswipe! ‘Nuff Said
1st day working a throwing progression with Javelin Squad 2021! Great group of kids with tremendous potential. They are eager to learn and applying drill work to application phase.
Championship Sunday morning project. Building an indoor shot put ring to make champions at Liberty North. Will give us a great indoor tool or outside throwing onto turf when rings are muddy and wet.
With track season winding down...the BIG BEEFER summer throws activities are gearing up. Here is all of the information you need to know about the summer activities:
