The best longevity advice right now is embarrassingly simple: sleep 8 hours, move your body, eat real food, manage your stress, and cultivate an optimistic mindset. Don't die from something stupid.

Race opportunity to close the summer. Organized by former Oswego East athlete, Alexander Das.

Senior Finn Shultz story will be one of my all-time favorites in my coaching career but it ended today missing state by just 2 inches jumping 6.71m (22’0.25”). I can’t even describe how proud I am of Finn going from 17 feet indoors to 22 feet, insane story and an even better kid.
Stories like this are what I love about coaching track and field. Senior Finn Shultz didn’t make our varsity conference lineup indoors having jumped 17’5”. He turned it up outdoors and yesterday took home 3rd place at outdoor conference jumping 6.64m (21’9.5”) 🔥
Welcome to the 20-foot club sophomore Owen Mack! Owen jumped a beautiful 6.25m (20’6”) jump to become our 7th guy over 20 feet this season. 🔥
Welcome to the 20-foot club senior Finn Schultz! In only his 2nd time ever doing the event he becomes our 6th guy over 20 feet this season jumping 6.14m to win our first outdoor meet, congrats Finn!
Ben’s jump of 21’10.25”, not bad for a thrower 😃
Ben Blank - DVC Shot Put Champion! 18.03m (59’2)💪🏻
Ben also took Fourth in LJ with PR of 6.66m(21’10)!

Junior Kim Aviles had never jumped over 40 feet and wasn’t in our conference lineup but the day before, we put him in and he jumped a huge PR of 41’7” taking home 7th place in a competitive field at DVC Conference. More to come outdoors!
Illinois “Field Event King” Ben Blank continues to impress. He opened his 200m season last night and his PRs are straight up ridiculous for a junior:
200m – 23.14
Shot Put – 58'3"
Discus – 178'0"
Long Jump – 21'8.75"
Triple Jump – 43'4.5"
High Jump – 6'0.75"
Pole Vault – 13'0"
Sophomore baseball player Hari Santhanam came out for track and field this year and I’m glad he did as he is a stud athlete! He jumped 19’11.75” to take home 5th place. Selfishly I hope he quits baseball to do track but love to see athletes competing!
Junior Kim Aviles on his last jump of the competition PR’s by almost 4 feet going 39’3.25”! He is soaking up the technical aspects of triple jump and I have no doubt 40 feet is coming soon!
Coach Sullivan is taking our throws program to a whole new level!! 🔥
Big PR for Junior Tim Preissig with a throw of 16.48m(54’), taking first at the NCC Invite!
This throw puts Tim #6 all time in school history and the current #10 best throw in the state.

One of the biggest mistakes I see in the high school setting is when football teams make athletes in other sports do offseason football plyos, sprinting, and weights while they’re in season elsewhere.
- Disrespectful to other sports
- Dangerous for athlete

A routine I’d recommend for almost ALL athletes…
Turn your feet, calves, ankles & limbs to springs
1. Extensive pogo x30 seconds
2. SL Extensive pogo x30 seconds
3. Intensive pogo x8 seconds
4. Intensive SL pogo x8 seconds
5. Drop jump x4
A few days per week = major 🔑
Last year at our intra-squad meet, Jack Littig jumped 15’8”
This year? 20’5.75”
He told me the other day, “Coach, I don’t know how to be good—I’ve never been good at anything.”
Jack… you’re going to be great this season!
Junior Ben Blank goes 3 for 3 on PR’s at our Intra-Squad season opener:
Long Jump: 6.62m 21’8.75”
Shot Put: 17.69m 58’0.5”
60m: 7.43

The conjugate jump system
Jump higher by not jumping the same way daily. This works because we rotate jumps instead of chasing one PR.
• Different jumps = different ground contact times
• Fast → slow → assisted → resisted stressors
• Constant adaptation, fewer plateaus

31’5” truly is absurd.
The standing triple jump is an exercise for all athletes. And, it ain’t easy!
Keep up the good work Brian!
