Indoor Meet at USAFA

What the deal with the Air Force Track Meet?

The meet on Saturday is at the US Air Force Academy. This is a high school only indoor meet and this is totally an optional event. The entry is to put on a quality meet for the USATF and the participants. The entry fee is $25 per athlete regardless of the events. This is a competitive varsity caliber meet. Info for the meet is on our webpage under the "indoor" meets link

I know the fee is high for this meet, so the Track Team will pay $15 and I have asked kids to pay just $10 to Coach Miller to go back into our program. We will be tight on funds with extra coaches, equipment replacement, entry fee's....ect....So please pay coach $10 or more if you wish. That money just needs to be in this week or next week at the latest. Thanks for helping us out. Currently we have 12 athletes that have been confirmed

Transportation will be on our own...carpools, ect.

Please make sure if you go....bring your ID as they will check cars and ID's at the North entrance. I will post directions and updates here later this week

Let us know....email, remind or see Coach Miller if you have more questions and need more info

I hope to use the blog here to keep everyone even MORE in the KNOW....

First Blog 2017

January 30th- Welcome to the Blog site......Here I will share ideas, comments and thought or articles...whatever comes to mind to keep everyone up to date. Feel free to share and suggest....Keep in mind the Blog will be for everyone.....your classmates, teammates and parents!!

Today was a great weather day for January 30....We had over 40 athletes working on sprints, jumps, vault and mid distance/distance. This is the largest group we have had for this time of year. All of your coaches are super impressed with your work and desire to get better.....speaking of that...please drink plenty of water and keep up with drills, stretching and strength......especially younger runners.

Take care of your health and fitness.....its the little things that make a big difference....

I'm personally proud of the distance crew ....this was one of our first track days......1600 goal pace....we are all way ahead of last year....."listen to your body" and let us know if you have soreness or injuries...It's ok to tell us.....it is expected for this early in our training.

Thought of the day: Think of racing at events above and below your 'fav' race distance.....This will help you in training along the way....Keep in touch and get to know your coaches....27 days till we start for "real"

If you want to compete at USAFA on Saturday Feb 4th please fill out the google form on the track page and see Coach Miller

More soon on start of season .........to be continued.......
