consistent good kevin league second shot sitting stays throws
Right now Kevin is sitting in second in league with that 43-9 throw. If he stays consistent with his throws at this range, he's got a good shot at going to state.
focused goal keeps might potential practiced qualify shot year
He's really focused on the shot -- his goal is to get to 47 this year and that would automatically qualify him for state. He has the potential to get to 45 -- 47 might be a stretch, but if he keeps working he can get there. He hasn't really practiced the discus much because his focus has been on the shot.
caught good guy sure time turned
I'm pretty sure (Burton) would have caught the guy if he hadn't turned his head. It's a pretty good time and we're going to see if we can get him down around 11.5.
trying
We're trying to get her in the mid-90's. If she can get up there, I think that can get her to state.
continue definitely goes harder improve needed points practicing time
She's had a lot of time off and she's practicing a lot harder right now, but she was a little rusty. She'll continue to improve as time goes on. She definitely scored some needed points for us.
finally helping spin starting
She's finally starting to spin and that's helping her.
approach expect far girl good great jump meet middle program record school springs work
She's come from our middle school program and she is a girl who has a lot of potential. She doesn't have a lot of speed, but she has great springs in her legs. We're going to work on her approach and form, and I expect good things from her. To go out on her first meet and jump 4-8, she's not far off from the school record (5-3) and she's only a freshman.
coming starting stuff together toss work
She actually had a toss of 30-feet (in the shot), but it was scratched. Everything is coming together technique-wise for her. She's a lot smoother in her glide and extension. She's starting to get it -- she's got some stuff to work on, but she's getting stronger.
either great ran running time work
It was the first time she ran either of those races. She's got great running form, we just have to work on her speed.
four last position puts top year
That puts her in a position to compete. That's a two-foot PR for her from last year and puts her in the top four throwers in the league.
came challenged distance herself minutes six trying work year
This year she came out and challenged herself to be a distance runner. We're trying to get her down to six minutes (in the 1,500). I think with her work ethic, she can do it.
came performed
I think we did pretty well in that we came out and performed well.
focused hard kevin toward
Kevin is really focused on getting 47 feet. He's working hard toward that.
help improve looking passing relay running team work
Our relay team did well. We just need to work on passing the baton, but that's something that we can work on and improve on. Also, not looking back while we're running will help out.
