EGG HARBOR
GPS Address:  24 High School Drive, Egg Harbor Township, NJ 08234

Because this is a summer weekend, expect traffic on the Garden State Parkway to be heavy.  I think we will suggest the route via 206.  Last time we did this meet one car that was coming got stuck on the GSP and missed the meet.  206 is predicted to be longer, but will be safer to get us to the meet.

RESULTS NOW CORRECTED TO OFFICIAL TIMES.

Very cold day, but the snow stayed away! During the meet I got a call from my daughter Danielle at Baylor in Waco, Texas, to tell me it was snowing there! We had to move some people around because Jonathan Tilli is sick with a fever and could not attend. We hope he recovers soon.

Good splits from everyone. This was Ben Rumeau's first track meet ever and he showed a lot of potential. His Mom braved the cold and took a number of pictures.

Nice Job Everyone!

Pawlowski/Ridgewood Relays at Ramsey HS

Please be at TCS by 7:35 a.m.

It is predicted to be 30 degrees at the start of the meet. Please bring an appropriate winter hat (a traditional winter hat, not one that has things hanging off it!) and make sure you bring gloves to run in. You may wear a long sleeved shirt under the TCS singlet. If you do, please wear a solid white shirt (since this is a relay meet, if we wear something under the singlet, it MUST all be the same color.

Athletes must travel to and from all meets in the school provided warm-ups. You may wear sweatshirts, etc. underneath them, but the top layer must be the school warmups.

Bring extra clothes to stay warm.

IMPORTANT SCHEDULE CLARIFICATION

THE FIRST MAJOR SAT DATE FOR JUNIORS IS MAY 5. TCS STUDENTS WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO TAKE IT THAT DATE. THE MORRIS COUNTY RELAYS, IF WE DECIDE TO DO THEM, RECOGNIZE THIS TEST DATE AND START LATER IN THE DAY TO ALLOW TIME FOR YOU TO TAKE THE TEST.

SPIKES!!!

We have found an unbelievable sale on Brooks spikes at Firsttothefinish.com. There are four columns in the main page of Brooks spikes: Mid-Distance; Distance; Cross-Country and Sprints. They all are either 19.95 or 29.95 with one exception.

The mid-distance shoes are all the Surge model in different colors. Original price was $55 on these; now 19.95 or 29,95 depending on color.

Distance: The Nerve models were $55 list; and the Z1 model was $90 list.

Sprints: The Twitch models were $55 list; and the F1 models were $90. One of the F1 models is available for 29.95, the other for 39.95.

A link to the website: Brooks Spikes Sale

If you do not like those, they have plenty of other discount spikes in other brands.

Our Attitude When it Snows!

Coach Hildreth, the renowned British track coach, once said:
"A foot of snow is an opportunity, not an hindrance!"

Andrew Hanko Named All-American

Andrew Hanko was third in the National Scholastic Indoor Championships (NSIC) 5000 on Friday, March 9, 2007 in a state record time of 15:04.42, and was named NSIC All-American.

For this winter, his results have him with the third best time in the nation in the 3200 (9:08.03)(and the fifth best time in that event as well); the fifth best time in the nation in the 2 mile (9:09.80); and the sixth best time in the 3000. He was the only runner nationally to run under 9:10 for the 3200 three times this winter. Congratulations, Andrew!

Andrew is also remarkable for his firm stance of not running on the Lord's Day as a matter of personal conviction. As a result, he missed the New Jersey Meet of Champions, and both of the national two mile races.

Nutrition 101

Your diet before a meet or workout should consist primarily of carbohydrates. Energy bars such as PowerBars, Balance Bars and similar products are very good, as are fruits such as bananas, apples and pears. You may also eat cereal, bagels, or toast. Avoid citrus fruits. Avoid drinking milk (you may have a little on cereal if you choose). Milk produces lactic acid in the body, which is the substance that causes stiffness and pain in your muscles after a hard run. You body will produce enough lactic acid on its own without you having to add to it by drinking a lot of milk.

Practice Location for Tomorrow: TCS!

The first practice tomorrow morning at 8:30 will be held at TCS.

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BETWEEN 34 AND 36 degrees AT 8:30. MAKE SURE TO BRING GLOVES AND A HAT! Practice will end by 10:00 tomorrow.

Please print and bring with you the permission form(s) if these have not been handed in already.

Congratulations also to Andrew Hanko who was named All-County for the Winter by the Morris County Track Coaches Association last night. Link to the full team: Morris County All County Winter track Team

Clothing and Spikes

For practices, runners should wear comfortable and modest shirts, shorts and sweats as needed. If any lycra product is worn, something must be worn over it. On cold days, wear several layers of clothing, and the layer closest to your skin should be a wicking material such as Coolmax or a similar fabric. Also bring a hat and gloves (painting gloves are very good for running, as regular gloves are generally too heavy/hot for running after a few minutes). IN THE FIRST FEW SATURDAY PRACTICES, EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT HATS AND GLOVES ARE ESSENTIAL! DON’T COME WITHOUT THEM!

Good quality running clothing at very reasonable prices can be found at www.nationalrunningcenter.com. They also carry some of the better running shoes. If you want to order their catalog instead of going on-line you can reach them at 1-800-541-1773.

For Meets: Runners can wear either their running shoes or spikes. I have a number of pairs of spikes that can be worn and returned at the end of the season. It is preferable, however, to purchase them. We would recommend Runner's Pace, mentioned earlier in the post about Running Shoes.

If you would like to purchase a pair of spikes elsewhere, the best place to buy them is from the Eastbay Catalog, which always has closeout specials on spikes from $19.95 and up, or from www.firsttothefinsh.com, which has a huge selection of closeouts (see note below). Spikes generally run small, and you should order up one-half size (that is, if the athlete wears size 9 running shoes, he/she should order size 9 ½ spikes). For Eastbay, you can call 1-800-826-2205 and ask for their track specialty catalog. Spikes can also be found at Venue Sports, www.venuesports.com or www.espikes.com, which feature a number of closeouts but not nearly as many as Eastbay. Please note that spikes are made for specific events, and if you go to purchase them, make sure you get the type of spikes for the events you will be participating in. Generally, shoe companies make sprint spikes for events from 100 to 400 meter dashes; middle distance spikes for 800 to 1600 meter runs, and long distance spikes for the 1600 to 3200 meter runs.

AN IMPORTANT WORD ABOUT SPIKES: Most of the major companies make two lines of spikes; one costing around $50-60 and one costing anywhere from $80 to $100. Recently, some companies have added a third category between these two. The companies change colors every year. THEY DO NOT MAKE MANY IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THE FEATURES OF THE SHOES, HOWEVER. Usually, you can get last year’s colors at half price, or significantly less. Doing so would be a good stewardship.

We have uniforms for the track team for meets. These consist of singlets (sleeveless shirts) for the boys and short sleeve shirts for the girls. Shorts are also provided. Please note that boys are not to wear t-shirts under the singlets. High School regulations require that all athletes wear identical uniforms. If you have any questions, please speak with me at your convenience.

We have school provided warm-ups which are to be worn for meets only.

Dated: February ____, 2007

Forms and Information Needed for Participation

PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN TO COACH CHRIS LEE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
1. The information for team records and uniforms form.
2. If you have asthma, please get a note from your doctor that you can use the inhaler. This note must be in the possession of the coaches, otherwise you may get disqualified at meets.
3. If you must take other prescription medication, we need a note from your physician that it has been prescribed and is necessary.
4. A permission form must be signed for each child. If your child has asthma, we would ask that you would sign the second permission form as well. Other students should use the first form.
5. The school office must have a medical permission form from your physician. If not see Mrs. Kruzek immediately and have one turned in promptly.

Practice Information

Scheduled practices are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, roughly 3:15 or 3:30 to 4:45 to 5:00, and Saturday mornings (see below). PLEASE DO NOT ASK TO PICK UP YOUR STUDENT UNTIL PRACTICE IS OVER. With only three days of practice per week, we need every minute of these practices.

We will have organized sessions after school two days per week, on Tuesday and Thursday. If others can help on those days, please let me know (as soon as possible!). We will usually have some students at TCS and some at Montville HS during these practices. Students are expected to attend all practices unless excused by the coaching staff. If there are regular scheduling problems (e.g., a job) let us know and we will work something out. More on the coaching staff below.

Saturday practices will again be at 8:30 a.m. sharp on Saturday mornings at Montville High School (or a location to be announced because of construction) for both teams . PLEASE DROP THEM OFF SO THEY CAN BEGIN WARMING UP PROMPTLY AT THE TIMES NOTED. PRACTICES WILL GENERALLY END AT 10:00 ON COLD OR RAINY DAYS and in the beginning of the season, and by 10:30 on other days. Please be prompt in picking up your students at those times. Note this policy: If a student is not picked up at the time the workout ends, he/she will be taken to TCS and dropped off to wait indoors in the school lobby to be picked up. This ensures that the athletes will not be out in the cold for too long, and also allows those of the coaching staff to lead a (more) normal life! Thus, if you come to pick up your athlete and he/she is not there, proceed to TCS.

EXTRA!!! FIRST PRACTICE!!!

The first practice will be Saturday March 3 at 8:30 a.m. Location to be announced shortly based on weather and status of construction of Montville's track.

New Testament Athletic Imagery and the Christian Life

The New Testament often uses athletic imagery in order to teach basic lessons concerning the nature of the Christian life. The usage of athletic terminology and athletic imagery to teach such lessons shows that there are beneficial character qualities which can be cultivated by athletic training and competition. In the Bible, and especially in the writings of the apostle Paul, there are at least eight areas of character traits essential for the Christian life that are identified with the usage of athletic imagery.

The New Testament speaks of athletic imagery in two ways: First, some passages directly refer to athletics, such as 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 and 2 Timothy 2:5; and second, some passages speak metaphorically or figuratively, employing a word or phrase taken out of athletic training or competition, but using it with reference to another kind of activity. For instance, Jesus in Luke 13:24 says that we are to strive to enter in by the narrow gate. The word for strive is the Greek word agonizomai, which literally means to compete for a prize, but which is translated in different places as strive, labor fervently, or fight.

Eight areas of Christian traits identified by Pastor McDearmon (Pastor of Ballston Lake Baptist Church) as being contained in the New Testament in one of these two ways are:

(1) submission to authority, 2 Timothy 2:5 ("if anyone competes in athletics he is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules); the word for athletics is the Greek word athleo, from which we get our word athletics; in Greek it means to contend in the competitive games; but unless that athlete submits to the rules of the game and to the authorities that would enforce them, he cannot obtain the prize;

(2) discipline, for example, 1 Timothy 4:7-8 ("exercise yourself to godliness, for bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things"); in this passage Paul uses the Greek word from which we get our word gymnasium, and at the time it was written the word refers to the place that the Greek athlete would spend ten months in training for the competition. Pastor McDearmon adds that this discipline unto godliness begins when one comes to grip with the claims of Christ upon him;

(3) self control, 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 ("do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore, I run not thus with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified");

(4) hard work; Luke 12:24 , where one is instructed to strive as if competing for the prize; and Colossians 1:29 where Paul describes his labors for the gospel as striving according to the workings of God; the word agonizomai refers to that laboring or striving for the athletic prize that is hard work;

(5) courage; e.g., 1 Timothy 6:12 where Paul exhorts Timothy to fight the good fight of faith; and Jude 1:3 where Jude exhorts the believers to "contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints"; both of these passages assume that the fighting and contending earnestly would require courage as it would be in the context of opposition;

(6) teamwork; Philippians 1:27 where Paul exhorts the Philippians that with one mind they were to strive together for the faith of the gospel; 4:3 speaking of those who had labored together with him in the gospel; and Rom 15:30 imploring the Romans to strive together with him in prayer. It is interesting that these three passages each combine the Greek word for together or union with either the word athleio or agonizomai. Thus the sense is to strive together as an athlete or in athletic competition or to strive together competing for the prize;

(7) endurance; Hebrews 12:1 where the author exhorts his readers to run with endurance the race set before us; and finally

(8) focus, conducting oneself with single-mindedness fixed upon a goal; Hebrews 12:1, with the imagery of the runner looking upon the finish line; and Philippians 3:12-14 where Paul describes his pressing on towards the prize, and the word used is the Greek word for a prize won in the public games.

These are some of the goals that we have in mind for the TCS Track & Field Team. As we begin this year, we would encourage you to prayerfully consider the many positive benefits that can come from participation. Indeed, in our society, many of these traits may best be learned in athletic competition. Our students have seen the benefits that come from hard work, and the lessons thus learned may well be carried over into every area of their lives.

The above is from a series preached by Pastor McDearmon which we highly recommend. The four messages maye be found here: Message One
Message Two

Visit the National Track & Field Hall of Fame

You do not need to go to Cooperstown, New York (baseball) or Columbus, Ohio (football), or even Waco, Texas (Texas sports) to visit a Hall of Fame. The National Track & Field Hall of Fame is located at the New York Armory, where Andrew Hanko has run so many good races. They have produced a video highlighting the Hall of Fame, which can be seen here: National Track Hall of Fame Video

Stop by the Hall of Fame when you come to see Andrew run next Tuesday, February 27 at the Armory. The Armory is located at 216 Fort Washington Avenue in Washington Heights, NY.

Some Goals of TCS Track & Field

The New Testament often uses athletic imagery in order to teach basic lessons concerning the nature of the Christian life. The usage of athletic terminology and athletic imagery to teach such lessons shows that there are beneficial character qualities which can be cultivated by athletic training and competition. In the Bible, and especially in the writings of the apostle Paul, there are at least eight areas of character traits essential for the Christian life that are identified with the usage of athletic imagery.

Our goal is to teach those character traits that will serve these students well the rest of their lives. We seek to teach the importance of hard work, discipline, submission to authority, self control, courage, endurance, focus upon the goal, and teamwork. In a world that accepts mediocrity, we seek to teach excellence.

Track is not a sport for spectators who want to be on a team but don’t want to work. It is rather a sport that encourages and rewards hard work. Those who have trained hard for our team have done very well, and the lessons to be taken from this can be applied to everything else they do in life. Do they want to do well in college or at their eventual workplace? They have learned that success comes to those who diligently apply themselves to their tasks. Furthermore, if God is pleased to work in their hearts, the character traits learned will serve them well in their walk before God.

Running Shoes for the 2007 Season

This is basic information concerning what you should be looking for in running shoes. You will need a good pair of running shoes. Running shoes are made to cushion and support the foot in ways regular sneakers are not. It should be noted that good running shoes should not be used for other sports. They are not made to support the foot for sports, such as basketball, which require lateral motion. I have a personal preference for Brooks running shoes, although many companies make good models.

Read this paragraph carefully! Most of the major shoe companies make good quality running shoes. You have to realize that running shoes are made for this sport only, and cross trainers and other sneakers are not appropriate for running. The major characteristics of running shoes are cushioning, stability, motion control and flexibility. When you look at shoes, make sure they flex easily in the forefoot area, and not in the middle of the shoe. If they do not flex in the forefoot, and rather flex in the middle, you will end up with calf and Achilles tendon injuries. Make sure they have that company's cushioning system (Brooks Hydroflow, Nike Air, Asics Gel, etc.) The cheaper shoes made by each company do not contain the cushioning elements. With regard to stability, if you hold the front of the right shoe steady with your left hand and twist the shoe at the heel towards the arch area or inside of the shoe, it should not flex in that direction too easily or there is not enough support.

The best way to ensure that you get an appropriate shoe and an appropriate fit is to purchase your shoes at a reputable running store (not some place like Sports Authority which charges top dollar and the people have little knowledge about running).

We are recommending one particular store this year: Runners Pace located at 422 Rt. 202/206N, Bedminster, NJ 07921. Phone number 908-781-6842. It is about 25 minutes away down Route 287 in The Hills Shopping Center. Very knowledgeable, great service, and people who support high school track & field. The owner of the store, Ryan Grote, is the distance coach at Gill St. Bernards School.

Shawn McKinstry Rounding into Shape For Hillsdale College

TCS Graduate Shawn McKinstry, after a frustrating freshman year due to stress fractures, is running again and we look forward to seeing steady progress from him. After running 1:58.08 at Findlay University last week, Shawn ran 1:57.20 today at Eastern Michigan University. Congratulations Shawn! His outdoor best in high school was 1:55.66 and it looks as if he will be getting under that indoors shortly.
