Recap: Meyers Jr High v. Wyoming Area

Meyers Jr. High boys and girls took on Wyoming Area yesterday (April 2). Although the meet ended up being a lopsided victory for the Warriors (Boys: 93-54, Girls: 105-39), we had some tremendous performances.

The day began with some good individual efforts from a number of student athletes. Points were earned in the high jump, long jump hurdles and some of the throwing events.

The day culminated with a thrilling come from behind victory in the 1600 meter relay. The quote of the day came from Joe Arnone after he anchored the final leg of the race, "Coach, I told you I hate losing."

Remember this moment and let's keep making moments like this.

Steadfast forever, Meyers High. ~Coach T

Fitness Tips

Drink pickle and pineapple juices.The salt and vinegar in pickle juice can help muscles recover from sodium loss and decrease cramping. "If you're training on a hot day or doing intense activities, drink four to eight ounces of pickle juice 45 minutes and eight to 10 ounces of water 30 minutes before your session," says certified nutritionist and fitness trainer Majid Ali of the Healing Center in Culver City, Calif. "If your stomach can handle it, drink four to six ounces after or during your session to speed recovery." Pineapple juice can also reduce post-workout inflammation. "The bromelain [an enzyme] in pineapple juice removes lactic acid buildup in the muscles, which causes inflammation," he says. Ali recommends drinking six to 10 ounces, 30 minutes after training.
