We completed another Aspire academy event in reasonably good weather this week Wednesday and Thursday.
Day 1 saw the athletes get specialised acceleration drill work, finishing with block starts. In the afternoon, athletes developed run-up and take off skills in the long and high jump events.
Day 2 had the sprint athletes work on their sprint mechanics again with the distance athletes completing an endurance and speed based test. Day 2 finished with a four event Quadrathon comprising of an 100m, long jump, shot put and 600m run.
A great 2 days of athletics for both the athletes and coaches involved. ... See MoreSee Less
A strong run from Mitch, coming within 0.1s of his PB in the heats of the 100m T64. A spot in the finals is not to be his time is not fast enough to advance in the two non-automatic qualification spots!
