Stephenville’s track and field coaches have been fine-tuning their athletes as they prepare for championship times and marks at the Regional Track and Field Championships being held in Lubbock Friday and Saturday.
“That’s not the way you had off the stick!” Coach Joseph Kimple barked Tuesday. “You are calling ‘stick’ way too soon.”
Kimple didn’t hesitate to point out why a relay exchange that just happened in front of him didn’t work out.
“We’ve got some really good possibilities for advancing to the state meet,” Kimple said. “It’s all a matter of doing all of the things we have prepared for here in practice.”
To the lesser trained eye, the Honeybees and Yellow Jackets are looking pretty good as they have four athletes that finished first at the recently completed area meet but their coaches are still demanding more.
Alyssa Northcutt’s throw of 105-02 won the area meet in the discus throw and she has more to give after having thrown over 109 in the seeding round. Hailey McBee is another athlete that has more in the tank as her seeding time was also faster than her 15.34 clocking in the 100-meter hurdles. How much time difference? A full-tenth or as track coaches like to say “an eternity”.
High jumper Blake Aragon topped all of his competitors when he lept 6-2 in area seeding and then 6-6 to win the gold medal. While this certainly hasn’t been a disappointing season for Aragon he is still four inches shy of his personal best of 6-10.
Pole vaulter Caden Cowan keeps finding higher and higher marks as he advances and has improved his personal bests twice in the last month going 11-6 and 12-0.
