The Coaching Clinic at College of the Redwoods March 27

Two events were planned at CR on the 27th. The Coast Guard helicopter

was very loud making it almost impossible to hear. 

This is one of the three groups that was formed from  coaches who came to the Clinic. This group is learning about the shot put.

Reed Elmore, CR's track coach, is showing the basics of the relay hand offs.

Tara Weaver worked with the jumps. In this case, she hid behind the high jump mats so she could be heard. 

Learning the basics of long jumping.

Ai-Lan McGoldrick, a track athlete from Arcata High, aided Tara in showing the importance of the long jump approach.

Eric Wright, CR's weight coach, taught basics for both the shot and discus. 

Some of the coaches got a chance to try throwing, but most watched Nadia Weise, one of Arcata High's throwers who volunteered to help

The sound of the helicopter made it difficult to hear, but the day was beautiful and the presenters were terrific.

Lissette DeCarli practiced 4 X 100 handoffs with Kara Romani.

NPA coach and former Cal Poly, Humboldt standout, Denise Walker Brown, preparing to hand off to CR Coach, Reed Elmore.
