Who will have the best track team in the Chattanoo

[DeepBall]

He went to Rhea Co. last year. Bradley what were u thinking. I thought we had really good sprinters? The fat discus people stink!!!!

It's a personal preference with her at this point. Personally, I think she'll move to the 3000 in college. If it doesn't matter to her and we need her points in the 3200, I'd look for her to double. She looks to sign in April, so the choice could be just for team points. She wouldn't have to impress college coaches if she's already signed. But, she would really like to run a fast, fast 1600, and I think that's why she's so focused on it at this point. If it looks like she's going to be able to go sub 5 though, I can't see her wanting to double.

 

We have several girls that no one has seen who are out this year. It should be very interesting, barring injuries and the like. You've got us pegged on the boys' side though. No unknowns there.

 

Also, I wish we could come to Kenwood on the 26th. It's just too close to our Sub-section meet which begins the following Tuesday. The invitation to come to our place still stands.

Peacemaker, did you cancel the 25th because of Optimist? We can look at the 11th if that's the case. Let me know.

I am not even sure what the 25th is. Is that the meet you are hosting at Mcminn? I have only seen our schedule once- and then it went to another refigerator- to be posted- LOL!

Sorry- Tell me more about what you are referring to, and I will ask Coach Cotton- although........... aren't we allowed only 12 meets this year?

No one seems to have mentioned Ooltewah in the thread. I'm not sure how they will do, since they have lost a majority of their athletes from last year to graduation. That would be Flanagan, Wilkerson, Oakes, and Blassingame. Ooltewah usually tends to do well since many kids come out for track and most of them are pretty decent. Look for a good distance out of Ooltewah, although Bradley Central usually tends to dominate the meets in that area. They lost their big discus thrower from last year (me), but if Matherson and Hale return, that is a good shot put duo. Hale can also throw the disc pretty good, along with Nabors. I'm not sure what pool of talent the freshmen class brought in, but look for more speed in the future. All in all, Ooltewah is a well rounded team and will continue to do well in the Chattanooga area, maybe take a sectional title this year.

The 25th is now Optimist. McMinn was scheduled to come to Bradley. I was wondering if they might change Bradley's meet to the 11th. Just flip-flop the dates. They can call if they wish.

Mike Wright is awesome IF he can stay healthy. No one else from Ooltweah appeared to be dominating the couple of times I have seen them run. Sorry I didn't pay much attention to field events. I really don't think they have the depth that Bradley does, especially at mid-distance and distance.
