On a chilly, blustery afternoon the Meyers Mohawks took on the Hanover Hawkeyes at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium.
While the Mohawks gave a valiant effort(boys 102-47, girls 110-46), the Hanover student-athletes proved why they are consistenly picked to contend for a division title.
Bright spots in the meet came from Mikhail McCalla who won both the triple and long jumps, securing 10 points. Jim Benczkowski scored 9 points and Robert Waiters got 8.
On the girls side, Ashlee Ward scored 9, Jillian McNeill competed illegally and scored 8 points (graduation project not completed) and Troy Lewis, Tess Sauer and Kirstie Robertson each contributed 6 points.
This is a work in progress. These student athletes will all be back next year with vengeance on their minds. Remember our individual and group goals. Hanover, we'll see you 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.
