Follow a
team or individual's progress through the race at approximate 1000m
points!
Lynx system innovation allowed those at the race to follow the contest
on huge jumbotron screens
and coaches were given hand-held palm pilots that allowed them to follow
their individual runners!
This innovation added a ton to enjoyment of all at the meet with seeming
close races "translated"
for you before your eyes by the Palms or Jumbotron!! AMAZING!!

Gonzalez summary story
Fayetteville-Manlius HS Coach
Bill Aris on the 2005 Nike Team Nationals:
"This is why Nike created this thing. It's the way it should be.
Tough. Nasty. Muddy. And no excuses. I'm already thinking about next year."

Wright's "Celebration of Life" Service

"When I spoke about George &
his coaching years at the service, I had all the athletes in the audience
come up on stage w/ me. Directly behind me in green are the last of
George's runners ... my seniors now
who were freshmen back in 2002 during George's last year. Overall
it was a very nice service-tribute
for George. The auditorium at Poly holds about 1000 & it was half
full! It was nice to see so many
people from different factions of his life come show their support."

State
champ is laid up for 6 weeks plus!
Royal HS junior Michael Cybulski underwent
bone spur surgery on
a toe in his right foot on December 12 and will miss at least 6 weeks
of training. He is moving around using crutches, with doctor's orders
to avoid any weight-bearing activities (which includes all cross-training,
according to Cybulski) during rehabilitation. Cybulski had been bothered
by the condition since at least early October. One theory was that him
favoring the condition slightly might have contributed to his subsequent
hamstring injury, but that's just a theory. Michael aims to successfully
defending his 3200m state championship (9:02.57) this June!
The Sierra Challenge/Buchanan Invitational
is no more along with the Fresno Relays.
The meets have combined to form the West
Coast Relays. The West Coach Relays
has a huge history in the world of track and field and we feel it's
time to bring back the meet.
It will held on March 31 at Buchanan High School. Contact Brian Weaver
at 559-327-3281
for more info. This meets looks to the largest invitational in the entire
Central Valley for 2006!
