The GAR-Meyers rivalry has added another chapter to its storied history. Regardless of the activity, be it basketball or debate, chess or football, 52 pick-up or track & field we love to beat them and we hate to lose to them.
Unfortunately, the Grenadiers, despite their relatively low numbers produced a gutsy victory over a scrappy Mohawk team. With a score of 88-58, GAR produced 14 impressive wins behind a strong group of athletes. Bright spots for the Mohawks were Mikhail McCalla's victories in the long and triple jump as well as Josh Berman's vertical assault of the pole vault. Alex Sharksnas tallied a victory in the 400 while picking up a personal record.
As for the Lady Mohawks...two words, Total Domination. The girls were able to pull off a feat that is rarely ever seen; prevent the other team from scoring a single point. The girls scored 144 out of a possible 150 points producing one of the most lopsided victories in the history of this program. In fact, the girls are still scoring on the Grenadiers as I write this post. Way to go ladies.
Boys: Remember this day. File it away. Let's put 140 on 'em next year.
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.
