Jaime Ross is the new Centaurs hurdling coach this season and coach Ywarsky said Ross and his junior sprinter have been working well together. “Working on proper technique, getting low over the hurdles, not wasting her energy going up over the hurdles — not jumping over it, but actually hurdling it,” Ywarsky said. “So going low and keeping low to the hurdle. We’ve been practicing seven weeks now. Her technique has come a long way and she wasn’t bad to begin with. Having the knowledge that coach Ross has brought to the team has made her even better. There’s still things that we can nitpick and still things we can focus on but you can see that every meet she just gets better and better.” Ross said Grudzinski doesn’t cut corners. “Every practice we get the full 100 percent from her,” Ross said. “Whenever you ask her to do anything in training, she’ll do it. She puts in 100 percent. She’s very disciplined. Her speed is amazing. And just putting the speed, the steps, and getting down farther for the hurdles, we’ll have her perfect.” Ywarsky said Grudzinski doesn’t take her speed for granted. Grudzinski has won races in all four of her events this spring. “She’s a hard worker. She’s always working. I think she’s seen the success she’s had this year and she wants more of it,” Ywarsky said. Grudzinski has already qualified for the Class MM State Meet in the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles and as part of both the 400 and 1,600 relay teams. The Class MM states are set for June at Middletown High. “She’s qualified in all of her events already,” Ywarsky said. “From here on out it’s getting ourselves more and more training, getting more and more practice for Charlie Lentz photo ECCs.

WOODSTOCK — Kara Heilemann almost didn’t discover her inner discus thrower. “In the sixth grade I wanted to join track because my brother was on track but I didn’t really want to run,” Heilemann said. “My middle school coach, he wasn’t sure about letting me throw because I was kind of a small sixth grader.” But she wouldn’t be dissuaded. “He let me try anyways and I ended up really liking it,” Heilemann said. From her start at Brooklyn Middle School under coach Dave Partyka, she went on to set the discus record at Woodstock Academy as a freshman. But records don’t last long with Heilemann. Now a sophomore, she surpassed her freshman mark by a few feet a few weeks ago when she tossed the discus 106 feet, seven inches. Heileman also throws the shot. She enjoys the mental discipline required for the discus. Her goal is to throw the discus 115. “Practice is the time where you get in your reps so by the time competition comes you should just relax and let it be natural because that’s when the best throws come,” Heilemann said. “When you try to over- throw, you get over it, or it goes out. So just be natural.” Woodstock coach John Ywarsky said Heilemann got a head start at Brooklyn Middle School. “She’s has been throwing for a long time. She’s driven. She’s a hard working kid,” Ywarsky said. “Even as a sophomore, to hold a school record already is quite impres- sive.” Heilemann said she was intent on getting Woodstock’s discus record as a freshman. “I work all summer.
