Why we love Track & Field...
At around 9:15PM last night the entire meet stopped to watch Arnie Grunert from LWE attempt to take the state lead in the PV with a huge jump of 16-8.75.
And the place went wild.

Congrats again to Brendan Kelly, Tony Ryan, Corey Alexander, & Jaden Michel for breaking the 4x1 Meet Record at the 36th Annual Bud Mohns Invite at DGS.
Full Meet Recap:
Value of working on speed? Jordan Vela (jr) and Dillon Peters (so) jumped 43-6/6-2 and 43-1/5-10 yesterday while working only on speed in practice in 2019. Andrew has no indoor jump pits or mats. Place an emphasis on speed and good things will happen.

@VJA_FOOTBALL
HUGE workout today. 3x150m Flys with 5 minute rest in-between each rep. 10m run-in, ran in a straight hallway tile floor with flats, timed w/ Freelap. Goal is to run at 400 pace. Add up the times to give predicted 4x4 split.
Maas 50.90 😳
Gilleylen 54.27
Mazza 54.28
Smith 55.00
It was great to have the Grissom MS track team over for a joint practice today.
Some serious speed coming through the pipeline 👀
Best of luck at conference on Saturday!
