Hey
@TheRock
I am a PE teacher in Indiana and have been making workout videos for my students to do at home. Any chance you would want to help me out and make a 20-25 minute workout to share with my students? I will provide you with a Whiteland Track and Field shirt for your time

If anyone asks how my weekend was on Monday these pictures pretty much sum it up. Out of 8 events Warrior athletes either tied or broke 6 school records. We had 4 All-State athletes, 1 runner-up finish and 1 state champion!

I am fortunate to work at a place that supports track and field at every level. Our custodians made sure the hallways were clean so we could have try outs today without slipping everywhere. I can sense the jealously of track coaches all over the US.

Wow. Crazy that the kid that ran 9.98 a few weeks ago in the 100 also runs on the 4 x 400 (44.7 split..... not too shabby). I believe this again helps make my point that all you “100/200” kids out there are capable of putting together a good 4 x 4 leg. 🤷♂️
Houston Strake Jesuit, behind a 44.7 anchor split from Matthew Boling, finished the UIL Track and Field Championships with a US No. 1 time of 3:10.56 in the Class 6A 4x400
Strake Jesuit finished the team standings second overall

Bella ended up clearing 5’ 9” and had three outstanding jumps at 5’ 10”. She will finish as your IHSAA as the state runner up in the high jump. She has battled through a stress fracture and recently a broken nose and still rose to the occasion.

Track coach by night.... country dad by day. We had matching flannel shirts on but I had to take mine off (too dang hot walking up hills with a 3 year old on my shoulders). Being a coach is the 2nd best job in the world. Being a dad is a clear number 1!

I always love how safety conscious all high school kids become when there is .5” of snow and they want a 2 hour delay. We live in Indiana people. If you can’t drive in a little snow you may want to make like a goose and migrate south. I get a good laugh every single time it snows
