What are practices like?

“Easy,” says Coach Sellers, jokingly. She then starts off again seriously, “I have the athletes change out after school and meet in the back around 3:15 or 3:20. We start with a series of stretches led by our captain, once we finish that I put out mini-hurdles.”

Sellers says that mini-hurdles are an important part of cross country workouts as they help lengthen the runners’ strides.

“After we go through the mini-hurdles a few times I let them get drinks and I send them on a 2-5 mile run,” she said. “Once they come back they cool down a little bit and hydrate themselves, I make them do a few sprints then we hit the grass or commons area and do core-workout. We stretch, give a cheer and that’s a normal practice.”

What is your favorite part about volleyball?

Megan Nelson is excited to play on the volleyball team this year and says there is a lot to look forward to.

“My favorite part about volleyball is playing with my team and playing in general,” Nelson said. 

Between the talented athletes and remarkable coaches, fall sports at Rockwell is something to look forward to.
