Ladies,
Nice job yesterday.
Although 3rd place is not as high as 1st place, we pulled together and hung
together as a team. Had we not done so, even 3rd could have been out of
the picture. We'll chat about the highs (quite a few!!!) and the lows at
team meeting on Tuesday.
Unfortunately, given the
time of our return last evening and the fact that some were not on the bus, not
all of you got the word about the next 2-3 days. Here's the scoop:
1.
No
practice today (obviously)
2.
Tomorrow
(Sunday), you NEED to do some running because......
3.
There
will be NO practice on Monday (numerous reasons, not the least of which is the
need for legs -- and bodies -- to rest a bit more)
As for what type and
intensity of running you might do on Sunday,
Distance:
· 2-3 miles of easy running,
throwing in a surge or two (perhaps every 2-3 minutes) if you feel the spirit
· find a soft surface and do some
10-12 striders @ +/- 75%, with 15 sec. rest after each
· lots of stretching afterwards
Sprints/Jumps:
· 5-8 minutes of
easy running
· double dynamic drills @ 40-50
meters
· pyramid @ 5 (double top) @ 50
meters @ +/- 75%, with 15sec. rest after each BUT 1 full minute at top before
descending
· lots of stretching
We really do want you to take
Monday OFF running, though you may bike if possible
BUT nothing hard.
Enjoy the respite; rest;
heal; and let's get fired up for next week's meet!!!!
PS: I'll have results
posted tomorrow.

56th Annual Longstreth Relays
Longstreth Relays results
On Saturday, the girls (also) hosted the Longstreth Relays, our first meet. We placed sixth (6th) out of 11 teams, and that was without entering the Distance Medley and having only one pole vaulter.
Four of the five field event relays placed:
· Sophia, Tatiana and Emma were 5th on the Shot
· Katy, Ellie and Tiffany finished in 6th in the High Jump
· Lucy, our only vaulter, managed to get 4th in the event
· Our Long Jump team of Annie, Emily and Christine captured 1st place, with Annie’s jump of 16 feet – 10 inches as the best of the meet. That also improves her 2nd place standing on the Top Five All-Time list.
In the running events, we had two relays that placed:
· The shuttle hurdle quartet of Daisy, Halle, Annie and Christine captured 2nd place
· The 4 x 800 group of Emma, Elena, Emily and Margot came in 4th
Although there were several good performances, overall stand-outs for us were:
· Elena, who had a nice double with a 6:01 in the 1600 and a 2:35 in the 800.
· Iron ladies who were quite busy were Daisy and Annie, both of whom had to quadruple:
Annie in the long jump, hurdles, 4 x 100 and 4 x 400
Daisy had the hurdles, 4 x 100, 4 x 200 and a 400 in the sprint medley
Congratulations to all the girls for a great team effort!!!!

Cuyahoga Heights highlights
On Saturday, the Girls’ Track & Field Team traveled to Cuyahoga Heights to compete in the 55th Annual Cuyahoga Relays, where we finished 1st of 7 teams. It was our most exciting meet of the season that came down to the very last event, which we needed to win in order to come away as meet Champions. The fact that the team had 19 PRs and 3 Season Best Relay Times was proof that everyone wanted this win.
Our highlights included:
5th place in the Sprint Medley and two 3rd place finishes in the Shot and the Discus.
We earned 2nd places in the Pole Vault, the 4 x 100, the 4 x 200 and the Distance Medley.
We had six 1st places, starting with the Long Jump, where Annie’s leap of 16’ 7 ½” was not only the longest of the meet, it also moved her to 2nd on the All-Time list.
Our High Jump trio of Shauna, Katy and Millie also brought home 1st place honors
The 4 x 1600 relay of Lucy, Hannah, Shivani and Sandra began the running events with a 1st place and a season best time.
Two events later, the 4 x 800 quartet of Krista, Elena, Margot and Emma came through with another convincing 1st place finish.
A bit of excitement came when our Shuttle team of Christine, Margaux, Gellie and Calli overcame an early spill and came from behind to win at the tape.
Not to be outdone in the excitement category, in the final event of the meet, the 4 x 400, the team of Elena, Emma, Annie, and Calli battled a very strong Heights relay that came down to the last leg of the race and the last 300 meters, where Calli’s gutsy move made a big difference. Not only did we win the race, we recorded our season best time by 6 seconds, with all four Reserve runners posting very nice PRs. It was an exciting way to end a very good meet for us.
Congratulations, Ladies!
Our next meet is our League Meet at Laurel tomorrow.

clarification
Ladies and Followers------
Through an apparent oversight, the time listed for the start of the Cuyahoga Heights meet this Saturday (07/May) is incorrect. The field events begin at 3:00pm and the running events, at 4:30pm. This means that all students sitting for the SAT this Saturday should have no problems. Those taking the SAT should go to the test dressed in uniforms so that it is only a matter of leaving the test and going directly to the bus or vans for our departure from the MAC at 1:15pm.
I hope this clarifies things. Please, pass along this correction/clarification to parents and others.
Let's get pumped, Ladies,.......with belief in yourselves and loads of Fire and Desire!!!!!

just believe!!!
Ladies----
Although you are all resting at this time (right???!!!???), I thought I'd send along these thoughts about tomorrow's meet.
As I mentioned today at practice, there are 16 (not 17) teams registered for the Invitational, and a good number of them are quite good. I submit, however, that if we perform at the level of our best results so far this year, we have an outstanding chance of scoring in a good number of the 17 events. Just believe in yourselves and give it your all!!
Nothing to it but to do it!!!!!!
See y'all at breakfast tomorrow morning

Longstreth Final Results
On Saturday, the Girls' Track team hosted the 55th Annual Longstreth Relays, where we finished in 3rd place out of 7 teams, one of our best finishes in several years.
A few of the highlights included:
We earned 2nd place in the pole vault with our duo of Callie and Lucy , while Annie, Milli, and Christine combined to capture another 2nd in the long jump. Annie's jump of 15' 5 1/2" was the longest jump of the meet and places her just 4 inches out of the All-Time Top 5.
We had 4 different relay groups score 3rd places in their events. These included the Shuttle Hurdle quartet of Christine, Gelli, Margaux, and Calli; the 4 x 200 that consisted of Chevonne, Daisy, Annie, and Calli; the 4 x 800 foursome of Krista, Margot, Elena, and Emma; and finally, the 4 x 400 team of Elena, Maria, Christine, and Calli.
While we had several girls who posted nice doubles, our iron lady for the meet was co-captain Calli, who contributed to the 2nd place pole vault and three 3rd places.
Great job, overall, ladies!
Our next meet is at home tomorrow against Canton Central Catholic.

Crestwood Highlights
On Saturday, April 2, the Girls' Track & Field team marked its first competition on the season at the Don Faix Invitational at Crestwood High School. We entered only 9 of the 16 events, placing in 6 of them.
Our 4x800 team of Sandercock, Warner, Cummins, and Horgan came in 8th, while the 4x100 relay of Anderson, Stewart, Ogede, and Carter captured 6th place. The 4x200 foursome of Anderson, Ogede, Carter, and McKenna finished in 5th place and McKenna ran to a 6th place finish in the 300 hurdles.
Other highlights included a nice double from Emma Horgan, who ran 2:43.3 anchor on the 4x800 and came back to clock a 2:41.9 in the 800. Freshman Annie Carter also had a nice double with a 27.7 leg of the 4x200 and a 12.7 anchor on the 4x100. Although their event was not included in the scoring, sophomore Shivani Shah and freshman Halle Sovich ran the JV 1600 and turned in solid times of 6:47.3 and 6:47.5, respectively.
Considering that this was our first meet and we took only a partial squad, this was a nice job, Ladies. Our next meet is our very own Longstreth Relays this coming Saturday, April 9.

excited to begin our 2011 campaign
After a week of hard training (post break), our team is looking forward to its first meet at Crestwood. For the newer members of the team, this might be somewhat intimidating because of the caliber of competition. The veterans are used to it, therefore, we expect them to relax the young ones. The meet should give the team an early gauge of where we are and where we need to be for the rest of the season. We are excited to begin our 2011 campaign.

Team Feed - Monday, May 17
Dear Parents of WRA Girls Track Team,
For those of you who don't know me, I am Bonnie Carter, mother of Mary Carter, one of the co-captains of the girls track team.
To celebrate the girls' season, I am organizing a "team feed" for the girls on Monday, May 17 to be held at the MAC (Morgan Athletic Center) at 6:00 p.m. We plan to grill hamburgers and hot dogs, eating out on the MAC patio, weather permitting. My husband and I will provide the sandwiches, but I could use your help with the side dishes.
If you live locally, please consider providing one of the following items to help make the team feed a fun event for the girls.
« Lettuce Salad
« Fruit Salad
« Side Dish
« Dessert
« Water
« Lemonade or soda
Please provide enough food to feed 25. I expect we will be serving between 50-60 people.
If you are able to supply an item, please drop it off at the MAC on Monday, May 17. I will be there by 5:00 p.m. And, if you can stay and eat, please join us!
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. If you are able to help - many thanks! If not, I understand.
Bonnie Carter
