Carly Price and Lori Perrie went to the University of Texas in Austin between March 10 and March 19 to train with some top Canadian track coaches. How motivated were the girls upon their return to Canada? Just ask Lori Perrie. "I think I ran every day after I got back and I never do that," she said with a smile. "I think we're going to have a real advantage when this season gets started." Her enthusiasm is echoed by Carly. "They boost your confidence," she said. "I teamed new techniques, what I need to make my running better." Their trip to Texas was a first for SDHS athletes, according to high school track coach Terry Johnston. He said the Kitchener -Waterloo Track Club allowed the girls to join them for the event. For Carly, a hurdler, the trip was a chance to work with Canadian national hurdles coach Brent McFarlane. Although Lori was the only thrower at the camp she said there was excellent training on boosting confidence levels and warm-ups. "They really stress the warm-up and the cool -down," she said. "The way we trained down there was a lot different than hear, the way they train down there is a lot beuer for us." Carly, 16, and Lori, 18, stayed at a Holiday Inn near the airport which was only five to ten minutes TIM CUMMING I4JOTC CONFIDENT ATTITUDE - Seaforth District High Sch^oI track and field athletes Carly Price and Lori Perrie retumed from a trip to Austin, Texas with an invigorated attitude. Under the tutelage of top Canadian track coaches they learned about confidence, visualization and good training practises. from the track. Every day they were at the track at 8:30 in the morning. They trained side-by-side with some of the top high school athletes from Canada. "The calibre was very high," said Lori. "They were very elite ath- letes." While at the training camp the high school athletes learned about such concepts as visualization. The two high school athletes are vocal with their praise of the Royal Canadian Legion. "We would both like to express our great thanks to the Legion," said Lori. "Without them I don't know if I could have went." Both Carly and Lori have been involved in Legion track and field programs. The Legion has also sponsored track uniforms. Track coach Terry Johnston says the Legion has a long history of supporting track. "The Legion gives them financial support, without that they wouldn't have been able to go," he said. Lori is in her OAC year at SDH$ but hopes to join a track club after she leaves high school. Carly is entering grade 12 next Year and will be competing as a Senior. She says it will be an adjustment to compete as a Senior but hopes to apply the techniques she learned in Texas to her advantage. Street name changes may be costly What's in a name? Apparently more than meets the eye. Seaforth had three George Streets, George East, George North and George South - none related or close to one another - until the town recently changed the name of the latter to Lloyd Eisler Street. The committee is studying the town, as well as any that may exist • - -irtlplementafion of a 4-1-I streef�'': 'O hip. �ti name, which in °this instance But the process of 'Changing the ° natninrg and numbering system; and •-r .Superintendent Job involved site and reference plans, distinct names and numbers are Forrest reported he has completed cost in the vicinity of $1,200 essentials of this emergency an inventory of street signs in according to Seaforth Administrator response system.
