The post-UNK individual boys' rankings have been updated on our website at https://t.co/e8ZNGNSisv.

We only have one change at #1. Samuel McQuistan of Holdrege takes over the Class C top ranking after his impressive UNK win while Lincoln Christian's Trevin Opp moves from #4 to #2 after his 2nd-place finish.

In Class A, the top three boys did not race at UNK, but Fremont's Aden Soto rockets from #15 last week to #4 this week after winning the UNK meet.

In Class B, Jackson Einspahr of Seward won at UNK and cements his #1 ranking. He's undefeated this season and has raced every ranked runner in Class B plus quite a few from Class A. Carter Ribble, a freshman at Beatrice, now sits at #3 after his runner-up finish at UNK.

Sammy Holsing of Tri County moves up to #3 in Class D after his third-place finish at UNK. Carter Fritz of Centennial moves up four spots to #8 after his sixth-place finish at UNK.

You can find rankings for our Top-15 boys plus school names and the Nerd watch list at the link above. The coaches have issued new post-UNK team rankings for Classes B, C and D, and those can be found at https://t.co/8dh9Wd5eL6.

SPRINTING boosts human growth hormone anywhere between 500% and 750%
20-30 second sprint, rest 90 seconds and repeat this 8 times.
Sprinting can be as a effective as injecting human growth hormone.
Look at most Olympic sprinters they are jacked.

Average athletes react to adversity with negativity and weakness.

Great athletes respond to adversity with positivity and toughness.

Team!

Some XC math...

If you can run 4 sec per 1600m faster from one race to another, that's about a 13 sec PR.

At the state meet, mid-pack, a runner comes in every second.

If you can move up 13 places from today to that meet, and every teammate does the same, that's 80 points.

Female athletes (more than males) do a lot more mindless running (2-5 miles) done at slow paces in aims to "get in shape/faster" and yet in most cases, move further away from both of those goals.

If your sport is lacrosse, VB, soccer, etc... the vast majority of your speed/conditioning work outside of skill work should be fast, quick and efficient.

Sprint don't jog.

They don't give All-Conference or All-State honors for impressive Strava accounts.

They don't give team trophies in October and November based on pre-season polls in August.

Tune out the noise and do it on the day.

Let's go!

21 METERS, AGAIN 😤

Chase Jackson launches 21.14m on her third attempt to break her own American record, recording the second 21-meter throw of her career. 👏

[Jay Johnson @coachjayjohnson]

You're willing to run hard on hard days. You're willing to be uncomfortable on race day.

But are you willing to go easy on your easy days?

Keep your easy days easy so your hard days - including races - can be hard.

Let's go!

[Track & Field Gazette @TrackGazette]

35 years ago today, Mike Powell 🇺🇸 set a World Record of 8.95m in the men's Long Jump in Tokyo!

He broke the "unbreakable" 8.90m mark set by Bob Beamon in 1968.

It is still regarded as the best Long Jump competition in history...

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

Parents. Your 8-year-old does not need a "speed program."

They simply need the opportunity to sprint. ALL OUT. Twice a week. With rest between reps.

That's it. The industry built a multi-million-dollar problem out of a free solution.

Save your $$$ for a few years and do them together.

[Darren Hansen @CoachDHansen]

How we attack the ground is important.

Don’t think about it when you’re playing sports and training full speed. THINK about it when you’re warming up and going through your technical drills.

It will shape how you interact with the ground, efficiency and power.

We don’t do pogos just to do pogos.

Attention to detail is key 🔑 and helping the athlete understand “why” will lead to buy in and results!

PS - I just dropped my Foundations of Speed Development presentation w/ 4 follow up resources. Hit the link in my bio to learn more. It’s a steal 🫡
