RUST AIN’T
NO THANG

Tuesday, April 23rd
When considering Prep’s overall team performance at the 2nd BCL center meet, hosted by Lick Wilmerding at the City College of San Francisco in warmer-than-expected weather with the threat of rain, it is critical to keep perspective.  Rust – built up from literal weeks between competitions in addition to the Intraterm week and spring break interruptions – was certainly a factor.  Not being on a real track, working on the myriad little things that the events require, for almost three weeks was a factor.  Not competing for weeks can leave one flat – we forget the adrenaline rush, the pre-race nerves, and the invigorating feelings of putting one’s butt on the line. Going into the meet, these factors were acknowledged, not to be excuses, but for Big Picture clarity.  It was terrific to get back into the fray out on a track facility, to exorcise the blahs, to move and jump and throw with purpose, to rally for the Prep cause, to be an active teammate.

From my unique vantage point, I witnessed the entire competitive spectrum: pre-race fear, post-race buttlock, exhaustion, elation, disappointment, PRs, anger, smiles, new events tried, disciplined warm ups, undisciplined cool downs, determination, learning, learning, learning,…. 
   
I’m sure there were more than a few reactions within the team of  “… but we didn’t score as many points as last time…“ or “I ran/threw/jumped well, but the competition has gotten better.”  To those of you who held those reasonable observations, I refer you to the aforementioned factors as well as to who and who did not compete in the various events.  I thought the meet went really well all things considered.  From the first competitive activity of the day – getting the canopies erected – to the wholesale wolfing of foodstuffs at the conclusion of the meet, I was impressed.  I confess, though, to being saddened by the reduced team spirit – the cheering on of one another during pieces.  Way too many of you had to compete in a relative vacuum for a team of this size.  To all of you: please attend to this detail.  It feels good to receive cheers and to give cheers, no matter what place one happens to be in. 

Images include: Charlie’s post-PR 1600 exhaustion, Jamie’s killer double, Julia M’s excellent pieces, Anna and Lena missing their 800, Emily E’s hurdling debut, Chris Mc’s wire-to-wire 800 heat win, Julia B’s newfound aggressiveness, Sydney’s post-3200 400, Deanna and Lena pushing one another in the 1600 after aggressive starts, Fletcher’s night and day 400 starts, Tim’s negative split PR 800, Danny’s sub-13, Huntly’s incredible 50m (which one though??), Viraj’s 110, Emily J’s relay-opening 400, Charmaine’s furious leg turnover, Elijah getting an 800 slot, John learning about the secrets of the 400, Anna’s 4x400 toughness, Monita once again being dissatisfied with her efforts,  Sarah F’s happy 100, Evan’s PR, Alex’s improvement, Conkle’s crazed post-competition spin throwing, Tyler P’s ever-gentlemanly demeanor, Collin’s lanky pieces, Julian CP’s bold 1600, Jazmyne’s 4x4 leg,  J Moss’s Jazmyne impersonation, Chris L’s return to action, Nils trying to ignore his shins, Viraj’s opening 4x100 leg, Ian’s focus, Vitaly’s intensity, Nolan’s sub-2:20 smile, Tyler H’s serious approach.        
    
Hold your heads high, Prepsters.  Your collective talents continue to be inspired and inspirational.  And now that we are back in competitive circulation, you will be more on your game, and hungrier, next week.                      

CONGRATS TO ALL!
