Horizontal and Vertical Jumps

Diya recently participated in a jump camp through Denver Athletics. Her coach, Sofia, took four athletes through a week of half day camps.

Day 1 - Plyometrics

Day 2 - High Jump

Day 3 - Long Jump

Day 4 - Triple Jump

Day 5 - Twilight Meet

I was pretty excited to go out on Friday and see what she had been doing.

High Jump

3'-6" cleared

3'-8" cleared

3'-10" missed

Triple Jump

26'-11.5"

26'-6.75"

26'-1"

25'-10.25"

Long Jump

12'-1.5"

12'-8"

scratch

11'-7"

In and of themselves the results are not earth shattering, but for literally a couple hours of coaching it is amazing. I am glad she tried it and wished she had more time to pursue these in high school. Maybe in college. Videos on Instagram.

Angie’s Restaurant is family cooking and they had a back room that we completely filled with (32) USAWA members plus additional family members. The meeting started normally enough with typical officer reports but became contentious when new business was taken from the floor. There was a lot of shouting and belittling, but very little actual discussion. The elections were conducted and we have a new board with very little all-round and even less international all-round experience. Old Board – Denny (36), Chad (21), Eric (23), Beth (6), Sanjiv (2) – 88 years New Board – Clint (4), Tony (4), Kyle (2), Eric (23), Sanjiv (2) –...

3" Barbell

Against my better judgement, I picked up this Titan Round Grip String Bar with a 3" diameter for $125 (plus another $10 shipping protection and taxes). It is only used for one USAWA lift and I will probably use it once and be done with it, but I have certainly spent considerably more money for equipment I use on a very limited basis.
