Spring Break Practice

Don't lose what you've worked so hard to build so far this season! Spring Break practices are not required, but we strongly encourage everyone to attend if you are in town. Please workout at least five times during the break. No matter where you are, you can workout!

Practices will be held at NNHS Monday, Wednesday & Friday
5:00-6:30pm

If you can't attend, here are some ideas you can do at home everyday!
--Jogging outside or on a treadmill
--Find a good hill and run it a few times (Hallbrooke has a good one!)
--Warm up drills (high knees, butt kicks, bounds, etc)
--Intervals of sprinting for 1 minute, jogging for 2 minutes (5-10 reps)
--Core workout (sit-ups, V-ups, plank, side plank, floppy fish, leg raises, etc)
--Form strides and buildups
--Cross training--play soccer, basketball or football. Ride a bike or go swimming.
--ANYTHING TO STAY ACTIVE DURING THE BREAK

Have a great, fun and safe Spring Break!

All City Preview

All City Preview at Norman High School today beginning at 5:00. Kids will ride the track bus over to the school. We will be running a limited meet including 3200m, 1600m, 800m, 400m, 200m, 100m, 4x400 Relay, Shot Put and Discus. This is a practice meet to show the kids how a track meet works, and also give them an opportunity to participate in whatever event they woule like to. Unlike other meets where there is a limit of 3 athletes per division per school, and 4 events per athlete, this meet has no limitations. Athletes are encouraged to try and participate in whatever events interest them!! Although the number of events has changed in this meet, some things remain the same and we really have no idea when it will end! Because we are timing our own runners and with limited events I suspect it will move fairly quickly. My guess is we'll be done between 7:00-8:00. If you aren't coming to watch, keep your phone close by and your  kids will call when it's coming to an end. Remember, it could end before 7:00 or after 8:00 but my guess is somewhere in the middle.

Norman High School is located on Main Street between Berry and Flood.
