Annual reminder: if you don’t intend to have an athlete or a relay compete at Divisionals, please courtesy scratch them so someone else gets that chance to compete!
He says football. But this is anything. Those that do what others won’t achieve what others won’t. Track, football, bocce, school, anything. Consistent and determined.

Does speed matter in your sport? Spoiler - it does. Come do track!
Don't use his QR code though, that's for Nashoba.
The only way to get faster is by running faster.
Not by playing more soccer, lacrosse, whatever.
If you truly want to run faster, join the winter team that will specifically train you to get faster - sign up for indoor track today! Season starts Nov. 27! #aaroooooo 🐺

Research has found that sitting close to a high performer improved performance by 15%.
Sitting close to a low performer decreased performance by 30%.

Okay track coaches. It's time to buy a new bag for the upcoming season(s). What have you used that you love? Also feel others have this question, so going to use @MikeCunningham to get the informal question out there. Links for purchase extra appreciated!

As the fall season gets underway, a reminder high school coaches should be pushing kids to play multiple sports. Kids should play multiple sports as long they enjoy it.
“Focusing” on one sport does not make someone a better athlete or competitor or help them meet new teammates.

CRAVONT CHARLESTON NEVER MADE AN NCAA OR USA FINAL AND NOW HE IS THE NATIONAL CHAMPION
With a clearance of 12’5.5, Melinda ties for 4th at New Balance Nationals. She is an ALL-AMERICAN! What a finish to her senior season! @WestboroRangers
This is the best idea I have seen so far.
Track and Field should plan these Tennis-like GRAND SLAM multi-day events over the course of 4 televised days with Semis and finals for all running events except the 3k steeplechase, 5k and 10k.
Day 1 Semis for 200m, 400m Hurdles and 1500m with finals for High Jump and Hammer.
Day 2 Semis for 400m and 800m with finals for the 10k, Triple Jump and Discuss.
Day 3 Semis for the 100m and 100/110m hurdles with finals for the 5k Javelin and Pole Vault.
Day 4 Finals for 100-100/110m hurdles, 200, 400, 400m hurdles 800, 1500m, 3k Steeplechase, Shot Put and Long Jump.
Heptathlon is completed the first 2 days and the Decathlon is completed the 3rd and 4th day and shown throughout the meet.
DO THIS 5 times a year.
-USA
-London
-France
-Saudi Arabia
-Asia
-Only 16 athletes per event who qualify based off a modified world ranking system with exceptions made for the previous year’s World Champion, Olympic Champion and Diamond league champion on a case by case basis.
-The best face the best.
-TV deals become more attainable.
-Sponsorship Opportunities for a 4 day event become more lucrative.
-Track and Field Athletes’ stories are told better
-Fans become connected to the Stars

Huge congrats to Melinda Haagensen on finishing FIRST at New Englands in the Pole Vault. I cannot imagine someone more deserving - hard work pays off! I am so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with her.

A lot of athletes focus on the sport skills over the summer but ACTIVELY neglect athletic skills
They can’t sprint, stop, jump, or cut well
And then wonder why they have so many soft tissue injuries
The muscles and body aren’t ready to perform 🤷🏿♂️
TRAIN IT ALL
Huge congrats to Melinda Haagensen for being crowned the Meets of Champions Champion in Pole Vault! Off to New Englands!

D3 GIRLS POLE VAULT
🥇 Melinda Haagensen, Westboro, 12-07
🥈 Katelyn Winchester, Westboro, 9-06.00
🥉 Imani Curran, Westboro, 9-00
Safe to say the Westboro pole vault team is elite, as Haagensen repeats as champ. Boys took the T3 yesterday too.

Question for high school athletes. If all you do is go to camps and tournaments all summer to try and show how good you are, when are you training to get better?
More work is the solution, not more “exposure”. – at Wakefield, MA
