Speed Clinics in July

Ashland’s Kruger To Host Speed Clinics

 

​Ashland University strength and conditioning coach A.G. Kruger is hosting a series of speed clinics at Ashland University’s Schar Athletic Complex. Kruger, a three-time Olympian, will be instructing participants on basic running techniques and form. He will also present drills to improve speed and quickness.

​The clinics will be held on July 3, 10, 24 and 31 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Registration each day will take place in the lobby of the Troop Center. Cost is $20 per session per participant. These clinics are open to athletes from any sport and coaches and parents are welcome to stay and observe the clinics. In case of inclement weather, the clinics will be moved indoors to Conard Field House, which is located on the AU campus.

​Questions can be directed to Kruger at 419-289-5936 or akruger@ashland.edu

Pictures from USA Outdoors

These are pictures that my wife took at the meet-

It was a sunny, hot day- 90-some degrees outside, 70% humidity, full sun at 5pm.

My son watching some practice throws...

Introductions. It was sunny... I was trying to keep the sun out of my eyes. 

Flight 2 is about to begin.

But after all the athletes were done competing and had left the field, and all the spectators left to go watch other events, my son just wanted to stand and watch things from afar for a moment.
