You've got a good foundation.

Work on central events:

Hurdles, PV, SP - as these have good carryover to other events (SP to other throws, Hurdles to 100m and LJ, PV to LJ and HJ).

Find out if Javelin comes naturally or not. Being able to quickly reach 50m in the javelin would be critical to having a good chance at collegiate success.

In looking for college scholarships, you need to get at least 1-2 events at a level that bring in points at Conference or Nationals in your division. That makes you much more appealing than simply being a well-rounded Multi-Eventer (Coaches would much prefer a raw talent with a couple exceptional events than someone who is a little better than average in everything).

Speed (100m speed) will be one of your most important limiting factors - so I'd spend a preponderance of time working on your acceleration and Maximum Velocity abilities.

If you have a well designed program, the physical training (Speed Progression, Plyos, Strength Training, General Endurance, Tempo, etc) would not differ significantly from sprint training - you just have the added technical work.

But the physical training is at the core.

Good places to look at well-designed training (for multi-events) and sprint/strength training in general: http://www.elitetrack.com and http://www.charliefrancis.com

Haven't done the tally but I think he got his running event WR - but missed the CR.


Watched the meet online, and he did great except his PV. A 5.00 would have given him a chance to really run the 1500 for a BIG score
