indiana hot rod

saw these bad boys parked outside of the dairy queen today.

that's right, it's a john deer w/a trailer full of lawn care gear & a bike w/a child trailer w/some more lawn stuff. pretty awesome, indiana

naia indoor nationals day 1

it's thursday, and we're getting underway at the naia indoor nationals. today, fpu has a heptathelete going and a pentathelete going early (& all day). in the evening, our women's 1600 meter relay team takes it's first race, hopefully qualifying for the next round. i'll work with our multi-eventers today in shot put, and our shot putter & weight thrower will practice a bit today as well.

the trip has been fun, and we saw quite a bit of snow yesterday. today will bring a little slower driving, as i don't want to hit ice patches and crash.

booyah!

we finished well.

our girls all scored in the shot put, which makes up for their disappointing showing in the discus. they finished 1st, 2nd, and 8th. really good. really good. so, based on the showing of our throw girls, and one triple jumper, our female team finished in a tie for 4th place. i'm pretty sure this is our best showing ever.

track meet stuff

naia track and field day 1
our girls delivered. 1st and 4th in the hammer. very good showing. so, after one event, fpu women leading the nation. some other interesting stuff happened. a plane circled during the opening ceremonies, pulling a huge banner welcoming everyone to cockerham field. ummm, guerrilla alumni anyone?
