I don't have much time to write on here this week. I am tieing up all of the loose ends and preparing for the drive up to Ashland, Ohio on Wednesday and Thursday. Training is going well and I will be well prepared for USA's and Europe. Life is a bit hectic right now, but things will slow down soon... I will probably be doing a meet this weekend at the University of Indiana.
Talk to you soon...

My Schedule for the rest of the Season
I pretty much finalized my schedule for the rest of the season so I figured I would post it. I will probably wait 3-4 weeks before my next meet. I want to take this time to prepare myself for USA Outdoors and Europe. Here is the schedule:
5/23/07 Leave for NCAA Regional Meet in Columbia, Missouri.
5/27/07 Return from Missouri.
5/30/07 I will be leaving Lake Charles by car for Ashland, Ohio.
5/31/07 I will arrive in Ashland, Ohio. I will try to come up to Michigan on my free weekends. My next meet will be sometime soon after I arrive.
6/10/07 Flying to NYC to visit my girlfriend and her family.
6/13/07 Returning from NYC.
6/21/07 I will head to Indianapolis, IN for the USA Outdoor National meet.
6/23/07 I will be competing on this day in Indianapolis. 12:40 PM.
6/25/07 I will be leaving for a couple meets in Europe. The main meet will be in Cork, Ireland. I went to this meet last year and it was my favorite. They have asked me back, so I'm going!
7/5/07 Return from Europe. Hectic!
7/7/07 Susan's wedding! Can't wait!
7/8/07 Leave again for Europe. LOL. I don't know what meets I'll be in yet, but I will be sure to post as soon as I know.

A long weekend...
Hello all!
The weekend went great. It was the conference meet for my athletes and I decided to stay and watch rather than go to California. It will be my last conference meet with them and I knew they were going to do well. They actually did great! It started out with a great hammer competition. Stephanie Gilbert, a sophomore, competed well and managed a 3rd place finish. In the men's hammer, my little technician Freddie Hannie(who was a 400m runner 2 years ago), opened up the meet with a 6'+ PR at 178'9". This was a meet record and stunned the field for the first 3 rounds. In the last 3 rounds he was passed up, but he managed to pull away with third place. That was one of the best performances I've ever seen, especially from a 5'7" former runner. My other hammer thrower, John Jamail, muscled out a 7th place with a PR 167'6" and a 5th place shot put of 54'6". In the men's shot put, my Croatian thrower, Jan Bicanic, opened up with a huge 2' PR of 55'6" and ended up 2nd (and qualified for regionals). He must have taken some cues from Freddie. In the discus, Katarina Busljeta had a great season best of 161' to place 3rd and also qualify for regionals. So it was a great meet! Lots of PR'ing and some really clutch performances. I'm so proud!
Well, now on to me. I am throwing this coming weekend at our home meet. My training has been going very well. It will be nice when the college season is over and I can focus more on my throwing. I have made plans for next year, finally. I'm moving to Ashland, Ohio. There is a strong group of throwers there (mostly hammer throwers). I feel this is really the best place for me and should prepare me to compete for a spot on the 2008 Olympic team. I will be heading up there on May 30th. I will probably make a couple visits to Michigan before USA's. USA Outdoors is on June 25th in Indianapolis, IN. Would love for anyone to come and see me throw! Then, after Susan's wedding, it is off to Europe for a bit.
See you soon!
