Hempfield High School Track Begins Season!

Retirement is always difficult when you give up something you love!  Track & Field has been a part of my life since my high school days!  My first year was 1968, freshman in high school!  My last year was 2012, coaching for Hempfield!

Today was the first day of track practice!  My first day was 45 years ago! I remember just a little!

•  Running my workouts in converse sneakers!

•  My first 400 meters!

•  Finding my event - the 180 yard low hurdles! (yes, that event doesn't exist anymore!!)

•  Falling on a cinder track! (still have cinders in my knee!)

•  Track Weather - windy, cold, snow, rain,......

Good luck Hempfield!  "The Tradition Continues!"
