Level Three? What's going on there?

Guys, can you give me a little bit of a background on the sprint speakers Gary Winkler and Dennis Shaver please?

Carl,  no level 3 this summer

And as for the sprint speakers Da Gov., I think you can rest easy as they are both knowledgeable, highly successful and should be worth the trip.

DaGov-
Dennis Shaver is the womens sprints and hurdles coach at LSU. He's coached a TON of NCAA champs in both the sprints and hurdles including muna lee, lolo jones, peta-gay dowdie and joyce bates.

Gary Winkler is a likewise great coach and teacher who has coached numerous hurdle national and olympic champions.

As Dave said, you won't be disappointed with them.

Dave-
Between you ("the great John Nash" ) and KT (yoda) this board has all the brains it could possibly handle.

Why no Level III? Olympic Trials?

How many people usualy show up to these clinics?

Carl

For the summer Level IIs I believe somewhere in the neighborhood of 300+ people will show up. Also, it would probably be best to think of it as a school (complete with a curriculum, studying, and test taking) rather than a clinic.

Well I'm not certified at all. Do I need to be certified at Level I before I do Level II. What do I need to do to prepare?

Yeah you do need to be certified at Level I first.  Go to the USATF website and check up on the Level I classes and they have a list of recommended readings to accomplish prior to attending the Level I class.

While not attending in person (13 days in Sac will be enough track for a while) I am sending my proxy.
The Mrs. will be taking her first Level II.
Dont worry, I have alreday begun de-programming all the mis-infornation I have given her over the years so she can learn the correct, cutting edge stuff from you and the other experts.
