Our sprint training has been very heavily influenced by @pntrack and #feedthecats. We've had at least one sprint relay team on the podium at state finals every year since 2022. 2022 - 4x100 2023 - 4x100 2024 - 4x100 and 4x200 2025 - 4x200 2026 - 4x200 and 4x400 Not too bad!

We love our fly by’s, it started as an idea, and almost broke the school record last year. We have broke it twice in the last 2 weeks. Still not perfect, but we got 1 race left.

What do we think about the fly by exchange in the 4x200?! Saw it used perfectly today and want to know what people think about it. @TrackCoachTG @TrackCoachJones

Boys messed around and got a second straight crown to become back-to-back conference champions, while the girls turned in an outstanding performance as well to tie for second!

I can vouch for the coach, the program, and the smoker. All are pretty good.

I wrote this around this time last year, on track and field and what it's meant to me. simplifaster.com/articles/tu…

Turning the Bend on a Coaching Career

Track and field have played a defining role in Coach Tyler Germain’s life for the past 25 years—first as an athlete and then as a coach and teacher. Reflecting on his first 20 years in the coaching...

It is important to remember that kids are not smaller adults and should not be trained as such. If an athlete is going home to play Legos or recently grew out of their shoes, their training does not need to resemble that of a collegiate or professional player.

Just finished this book by my friend Dave Emeott @eksports_org and it did not disappoint. Recommended reading for every coach, teacher, or leader who works with young people. Great job!

Just found a set of these in storage. Looking for someone who knows what these are. 1) is it just an unnecessarily complicated harness design, or does it have some unique function I’m not seeing? 2) if it does have some unique function, what is it and how do I use it?

I'm with the majority‼️ Let's say the following... Acceleration = 0-30m Max Velocity = 30-80m Speed Endurance = 80-150m ➡️Max V allows you quality acceleration within each Max V rep, and you can sneak endurance within short recovery max V reps! ➡️Acceleration Only Approach: misses the all important max V reps... ➡️Speed Endurance Only Approach: doesn't allow for enough focused accel/max V work as the onset of fatigue/endurance is a main theme.

For a sprinter that specializes in the 60m-200m...what's the most important training theme⁉️ You can only pick one!

Quick shout out to Oak Park High School. Their girls track and field team has built arguably the most dominant dynasty in the country. They have been state champs or runners-up every single year since 2014. Great job by Brandon Jiles and the rest of the coaches over there!
