Triumph Arriving at the track, I vividly remember stepping outside and smelling the blades of freshly cut grass. It instantly made me noxious, for it triggered the voice in my head questioning me, "Are you good enough? Are you fast enough? Are you worthy enough to be here?" I assured my criticizing conscience that my track career had come to an end after eighth grade, and I kept that promise to myself freshman year as I avoided the stress and anxiety known to be caused by track meets. Spring of…

thousands of children who are classified based on race and income regardless of intellectual potential. This results in children being judged from an early age based on biased tests of intelligence and potential, who are then placed into low tier tracks that negatively effect their future intellectual development.

route of the track as identified during the least cost paths analysis. The four parts of the route are shown: Punakiki to the ventilation shaft; shaft to the mine portal (lookout point); portal to the amenities area; and the ventilation shaft to Blackball. The results clearly illustrate it is possible to use cost paths modelling to identify a track. However, further assessment will be necessary around the aesthetic value of the track, to assess whether it is in the ‘best location’. The track…

science, as well as, an art form. We will not delve too much more into the actual art of camouflage, but instead attempt to get you in the right frame of mind, to get you to think about your actions and how they might make it easier for someone to track and find you, and camouflage does play an important role in avoiding detection. What we want to focus on in this article is your mindset, and how you can develop possibly life-saving tactics before you find yourself being pursued through the…

Talking Star Jones, Financial Mistakes and Lessons Learned It sounds funny to say that Star Jones is trying to "keep up with the Joneses".

According to Black Enterprise, Jones owed over $75,000 in student loans and had maxed out her credit cards by the time she finished law school. Sadly, the cards had been used to pay for more than school supplies and necessities.…

solutions. The foundation of tracking has some positive points, but the way that tracking is implemented throughout schools needs retuning. First, schools need to put the precedence on all tracks, not just the lowest or the highest. So, all tracks can succeed and not just a few. Tracking often works for the higher tracks, because they have teachers whom are adamant about the subject they’re teaching, and have high expectations for students.

Ever since the construction of the Sargent Field track and football complex in 1968, it has not been updated or improved hardly at all. In the 48 years that Chelan High School and the community of Chelan have made use of the complex, both the school and the town have undergone significant changes in their size, population, and the number of activities available, making the facilities inadequate and in need of improvement. The solution to Chelan's athletic facilities' needs is to construct a new…

In track and field, it is usually at the end of the school year and athletic year for most athletes. Majority of the athletes at the high school level have participated in other sports early in the school year such as football, volleyball, or even soccer for an example but sometimes some of the athletes become mentally tired when…
