Preseason Training for Track has Begun!

Track season is right around the corner and students need to start preparing for the season. But what does it really take to train for the events they will be competing in?

“We want to train and enhance the energy system that they’re going to be competing in.” said Social Studies teacher Scott Palmer.

Some athletes run one mile, two miles, the 100, 200, or 400 meter dashes. There is a wide variety of events to choose from. Not only is there the option to do long distance running or sprinting, but there’s also the option to do events like; pole vaulting, long jump, and high jump.

“Each event area has a specific training area. There’s individual workouts for each area.” said Palmer.

“I run two miles every day during the week.” Freshmen Joey Clipson. Clipson is training to run the 1 mile, two mile, and 400 meter dash.

“I run for over an hour two or three times a week.” Sophomore Kyle Kukla. He is preparing himself for the 100 and 200 meter dashes.
