Wartburg Relays Season Opener

After a wonderful off-season getting stronger and faster in the weight room, the time finally came for me and my teammates to put our hard work to good use. Heading to Wartburg Relays, I was very excited for my first indoor meet, I felt like a baby that was grounded from his favorite toys for a year, given the fact that I took a year off from college. However, the icy road trip took approximately three hours to Wartburg Iowa. Thank you to our professional bus driver, when we arrived at the indoor facility we warmed up as a team and everyone went to their individual events.

Wartburg relays was a meet for everyone to get the monkeys of their back and to set a benchmark to see where they were physically, technically and emotionally on the track. Both the men and the women team place second overall at the meet. I had a decent meet, I started my indoor season on a good note I won the pole vault with (4.70m 15'4'') my winning height was also a school record and surprisingly I had the fastest time of 7.03 in 60m dash which is a personal record for me.

My second indoor meet will be at home next weekend I am looking forward to great meet on home soil.

Things I want to improve on throughout the season.

• Consistent run and takeoff
• Swinging a straight trail leg  
• Vault at least an inch higher every meet.
