Gold Group, led by coaches Kim Chapdelaine, Dwayne
Lotnick and John Leavitt, have 25 athletes ranging in age from
15 to 19 years old. Training for this group started in
September with hill camp, weight training and core strength to
build a strong base to develop on.
Since
mid-October, training session have been 5 times per week.
Upcoming indoor meets will be February 14th, at the
University of Washington and Feb 18-20th in
Kamloops.
The Hawaii
training camp will occur during spring break and several of the
athletes will complet at the prestigious Oregon Preview March
20th. Ideally these athletes are looking for spots on the BC
team to compete at Provincial and National levels. Coach Kim
offers these words as encouragement:
Will
I am
I can
I will actualize my dream
I will press ahead
I will settle down and see it through
I will solve the problems
I will pay the price
I will never walk away from my dream until I see my dream
Achieved!
Only through FOCUS can you do world class things, no matter
how capable you are...
The Mustang's
newest training group is now known as the Legions/Summer
Games group. This group of athletes is led by Doug
Vicic. They have been working hard since the beginning of
January. The group consists of athletes who are 13 and older,
and dedicated to competitive training. Ideally the goal would
be to qualify for the Zone 3 team which will compete at the
upcoming Summer Games in Langley in July, or even the Provincial
team which will compete at the Nationals in August. The
athletes are focusing on power, endurance, core, speed and
strength and they achieve this through track workouts, pool
workouts, weight training and gymnastics.
These two
high performance groups of the Langley Mustangs Track and Field
Club are enjoying new challenges and friendships. They are
definitely becoming a supportive team as they strive to
accomplish their personal bests. Expect great things from these
kids.
