Liberty Bell Line-Up

Good morning,

Below is the link for the schedule for the Liberty Bell Meet this weekend. It is a two day meet, Friday night and Saturday day.

LIBERTY BELL SCHEDULE

Before I get to the line-ups, I want to explain my reasoning behind them. (Not that I should need, to, but this is the "Y" generation.) With the events spread over two days, it allows us to run our best athletes in events that have the potential to score us the most points. The goal is to win as a team, not individual accolades. (Although those are nice.) At this point in the season, the coaches can arrange line-ups in order to maximize the team point totals, and that is what we have done this week. If everyone runs, jumps, throws to their potential, then the team will do well, and that is, and always has been, the ultimate goal.

Having said that, here are the distance line-ups for this weekend.
400 G: Taylor & Bergen
400 B: Schuereman, Brost & Barringer
800 G: Lake, Hanrahan & Wojan
800 B: Abbey, Maloney, TEidt
1600 G: Hine & Dutton
1600 B: Balsiger, DEidt, Burt
3200 G: Hine
3200 B: Balsiger, Cottingham, Lake
4 x 400 G: KGrimm, Larsen, Lake, Wojan
4 x 400 B: Brost, Maloney, Abbey, Schuereman
4 x 800 G: Hanrahan, Bergen, Lake, Wojan
4 x 800 B: Balsiger, TBD, TBD, DEidt

Now, we had a great meet last weekend at Nike, in fact, I am still getting congratulations for it. But, I think we can do even better. I think last weekend we raced great, but we have not hit our ceiling yet. I think that there are still a lot of faster times in us, just waiting to be unleashed. I think that we can use our heads and our hearts to slash our times even further. I think that we are strong enough to go out there and blow away the competition. So, let's do it, this weekend. I will take care of getting you guys ready to go physically, you have to get yourselves ready mentally, however you can. This is a top shelf meet, a fantastic meet to run fast, and a perfect meet to "slingshot" ourselves into the championships season!!!!

UPDATE: The coaching staff made a few switches last night while we met at the JV race. Hanrahan will be taking Grimm's spot in the 4 x 400. That leaves KGrimm with LJ, TJ, Spt. Med (200) and 4 x 200.
