Varsity Meet vs Lake Lehman

Nothing could not stop the Mohawk Boys Track Team from charging their way to a 2nd straight victory. Not even the rain.

This epic battle with the Lake Lehman Black Knights has been a long time coming. Twice this meet was postponed due to inclement weather. But even though it was raining, the parade of Mohawks coming in first place went on.

Contributions were made from a number of individuals. The Mohawks tallied 10 first place finishes, 8 second place finishes and 6 third place finishes. The boys team has doubled their win out put from last year (2-1) and is looking to add at least one more.

The day for the girls was not as good. The Lady Mohawks ran into a very deep, very prepared Lehman squad who won by a score of 100-30. There were some personal records achieved by to of the athletes, Kyra Wolsieffer who threw the Javelin 10 feet further than she had done before, Krystin Sheets who ran the two mile 36 seconds faster than her previous time and Troy Lynn Lewis who triple jumped 32'5".

GAR on Thursday. Let's roll'em.

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.
