Montevallo's running toward the finish line

By: Adam Pettway

With the indoor track season starting soon Montevallo's track team has been training hard this semester to better themselves as a team and preparing to compete. Throughout this semester they had  many different types of speed strength and technical training. Te overall goal is to push the team and make them stronger and faster in their events.

The sprinters have done a lot of different speed and acceleration training with weight lifting in the SAC. The team has been striving hard to be the best they can and have been preparing their minds and bodies to compete. Both sprinters/ jumpers/ throwers have been pushing each other to become stronger.

Head track Coach Tommy Barksdale said he's happy at how the team is progressing and believes things will go well if the teams works hard and gives 100 percent effort. They head into the season with 3 more indoor track meets and 5 to 6 outdoor meets.

Many of the runners say they are preparing for the season by running/ doing what the coach says but also they said they eat healthy and get a lot of sleep. This combination of hard work and healthy eat is exactly what a team needs to grow stronger. To learn more about what the track team will be doing click here.
