Practice is hard work Lots of students may have gone to a track meet before and sat there wondering what was going on. You would be looking at one event and there would be at least 3 other events going on. To sum it up in a couple of words, it's utter chaos. I sat in on a track practice one afternoon, and thereis really no difference between the two. The team first comes up to run their warm up laps 8c then usually gets a pep talk from the Coach. Everyone has there own event that they work on, so they go their own individual way. The Coach makes the rounds to work with each event so as to make sure they are working and not loafing around. After working so hard on their especial techniques, they cool down by doing more run- ning and stretching out. As you can see, track is an individual sport and each athlete must work very hard on his own as well as with the Coach to reach his full potential. t Coach Lenz gives Shawn Dyer a few pointers on his event at a track meet. Scott Willis, Larry Rains, and Mike Watts taking a break between events. wwmh W Imlcm Front Row: John Peck, Curt Davis, Joe Calogne, Darren Watson, Scott York, Heath Kuykendall, David Bowen.
