Thank you Track Team!

Thank you gals and guys for the card, photos and gift card to Olive Garden. The photos are great; they will be a reminder of the terrific team we had this year. I read and enjoyed all of your notes in the card (always a favorite thing for me to do). I will take my wife on a date with the gift card. (Guys, no matter how long you've been with a girl, never pass up an opportunity to impress her).

Finally, thanks for all of your hard work. It was great to see you do well at the meet. I will cheerish the memories of you always.

Parents: Thank you for allowing your athletes experience the challenge of competing in track and field. General rules of thumb: 1) there will be practice rain or shine; 2) on inclement weather days or transportation problems occur practice will be at the Haddon Heights Campus. Parents will be notified of any change of location via the school’s email update list or by contacting the school office.

A team shooter style Uniform Shirt with the above logo is needed for all members. (2007 & 2008 team members may use the shirt they already have). The cost of the shirt is $12 with sizes of Adult (Small to XXL) and Youth XL. Please contact Coach Wetzel (preferably email) by Thursday April, 2 with the shirt sizes and send the monies with your athletes. I’m having the supplier look into a new style shirt for the girls. The boys like the shooter shirts, but the girls have expressed a desire for a different style.

For practices, a good pair of lightweight running shoes, shorts, t-shirt and a track sweat outfit is usually needed for practices. The surface for the TSCAC meet is asphalt; track spikes may not be used unless they have all rubber bottoms.

Practices are 3:00pm to 5:30pm, Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday unless otherwise noted:

Great First Summer Workout

2008-07-16T09:01:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday, Morgan ran her first Captain's Workout for the BHS Cross Country team at Haddon Lake Park. Alltogether there were eight and a half runners including Geoff and a tired old coach. The guys and gals had fun and were treated to ice water treats after practice.

A few went out too hard and had some difficulty finishing. Remember, the focus of the runs is to get you into the flow of running a nice comfortable pace.

Captain Workouts are Thursdays, 7pm at Haddon Lake Park. See you tomorrow.

Old Man bikes to Wildwood

2008-06-26T20:05:00.000-07:00

That's right. Your tired, out of shape, 47 year old coach fulfilled a goal of his: ride a bicycle to the shore. The journey, from Camden County College to Wildwood went over 70 miles and took about 7 hours. Making the trek a little tougher was the bike I rode, a mountain bike which is not the best way to peddle long distances.

Well, I'm a little tired and sore, but also feel pretty good. If anything, my leg muscles are stronger than they have been in years. My next step is to start the workout program I gave out at the end of school year. I will do my best to work the program, I hope you will to. Please pray for safety and good health for all who are training over the summer. Have fun!

Welcome and Worksheet

2008-06-26T19:59:00.000-07:00

To the super CC runners of BHS:

This account is my way to making sure updates get to you.

If you have any questions or concerns about the workout sheet, please let me know. Our team is breaking new grounds for BHS; we're taking on the public schools in dual meets. You all did well last year, but we spent the first half of the season just getting to complete a 5K with some kind of confidence. The purpose of the workouts is to have you ready to run a 5K by the first day of practice, therefore be ready to take on any challenge. Most of the workouts are just an extended warmup with stretching after the run. The pushups and curlups are to build muscular strength for speed. If it is any incentive, I will be doing the workout myself. If a fat old man can do it, so can you.

Day 1 for workouts is Monday, June 23.

First day of practice is Monday, August 18, 7pm at Haddon Lake Park. We may do two Ocean City runs depending on whether the team is ready to run a 5K on the first practice. We are definitely scheduled for Thursday, August 28.

As I said before, we did well last year. However, I believe you all have the ability to do great things. How many meets we will win, I don't know. But I believe you are going have the schools in Camden County taking notice.

See you in August!

Coach W.
