Meyers boys and girls teams represented their school very well in a losing effort against Hanover. Girls lose a close one, 78-68 and the boys lose 88-61. Both scores are tremendous improvements in the last time the Hawkeyes came to town (46-110 girls 47-102 boys).
Girls had a shot to win it at the end due to 9 clutch first place finishes (Ward 3, Quinones 2, Lewis 1, Wolsieffer 1, Mahalak 1, McGrane 1) but Hanover proved to be a strong opponent.
Boys endured a few mental mistakes and 11 first place Hanover finishes to keep the meet close. Personal best times were run by Proctor (100), M. Snyder (mile) and Sharksnas (400).
The Mohawks travel to Lake Lehman on April 13 to try to get a notch in the win column.
Steadfast forever,

Wilkes-Barre Invitational
The Jim Crossin Invitational (formerly known as the Wilkes-Barre Invitational) took place at Wilkes-Barre Memorial Stadium on Saturday May 2.
Ashlee Ward was the lone Mohawk winner in Saturday's events while Mikhail McCalla captured third place in the long jump. Ashlee's throw of 122' broke a record that has stood for 5 years, held by Rose Morgans.
For most of the athletes, this was a very new experience. Only 2 of the fourteen athletes who competed had any experience in a meet of this magnitude. Six freshman gallantly competed against competitors that had 5x as much meet experience. Although none of them placed, the experience gained will help them in their careers.
Team, the season is almost over. Let's keep pushing ahead and finish strong.

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.
