Setting Goals

I think it is important that we set goals as individuals and as a team.  I attached a list of times and distances needed to qualify for Penn Relays.  Just so you know Penn Relays is a meet where many of the best in the world perform on the high school, college and professional level.

Here is a video from the year Usain Bolt ran, check out the crowd.  There are moments in life that we will always remember performing in front of 10,000 chearing fans is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.



Here are the qualfying times and distances:

High School Boys – 2012
