The indoor season started in full last night here in Nampa, ID at the Jackson's/New Balance Invite hosted by Boise State. The throwers competed three weeks ago at BYU, but this is the opener for everyone else. We had two event winners as senior Klaudia Rokossa won the pole vault by clearing 12-7 and freshman Susannah Hurst dominated the 3K (9:59.51). We also went 4-6 in the weight throw with Anneli Stahl and Nikkie Rudder. Senior Bree Leroy led a 3-4 finish in the pentathlon. Overall, it was a very solid day...especially for the first meet. This meet is about competing hard and bringing the necessary intensity to perform at a high level. We've tried to simulate that in practice with time trials, but there is nothing quite like being at a meet.
The remainder of the meet is today and we have several athletes competing. Young and veteran we need them all to come ready to perform and have some fun. If they can do that then the performances we are all looking for will come. As coaches we know they are ready physically, so we will have to spend more time making sure they are prepared mentally and have a good plan of attack for there events. After that...it's up to them to follow the plan as best they can so that we can work together to make adjustments for the next event.
Looking forward to a great day. Check back for more later.
