Synergy: The combined effort being greater than its parts—this is the culture of Hopkins Track and Field. Of course, each athlete has a goal--a PR, Raceberry Honors, even beating that competitor from another team. But, when 4x400 gun goes off, Hopkins is the collective team ready to cheer our relay home.
As coaches, we are as ready as anyone to let the synergy begin...
--Coach Yesnes...I can't wait for Lovas to see my new stopwatch skills now that he doesn't have to reset my watch every time I need to call splits. Also, as a coach, I now have an excuse to stalk Outdoor Track Raceberryjam for all the Hopkins runners, throwers, and jumpers! Seriously though, I can't wait to hang out with all the distance girls and spend time with all the disciplines. Let's just say I am beyond thrilled to join the Hopkins Track and Field family.
--Coach Dalmacio...I have a laundry list of reasons why I am excited for this season, but to keep it brief I narrowed it down to three. First, I am excited take on the new challenge of coaching horizontal jumps. I have been working to create a program that will benefit each athlete individually, and the jumpers as a whole for our program. At Hopkins, no one is just this or just that. Our team consists of multi-talented individuals that are this AND that - runners and jumpers, sprinters and throwers, etc. Second, I am excited about the athletes - new and returning! I have so many great ideas that I cannot wait to share. Third, I am excited to let my track nerd flag fly with those of the other coaches. Although I am biased, I really do believe that we have the best gathering of track minds in the state. They are not only my fellow track coaches, but they are also great friends of mine.
March 12th can't come soon enough... GO ROYALS!!!
