Strength, endurance and strength are the keys to success, according to Waxahachie Life head track coach Lyle Linscomb, who says, “All three strengths have to be there.”

During the team’s media day Saturday, February 12, Linscomb shared with the Sun how he starts preparing his athletes in the fall for the spring track season.

“We begin in September with the kids that don’t do anything else,” he said. “We go through a strength phase starting in the weight room; we don’t focus on speed early on. Then we start transferring that into endurance stuff.  Just before the Christmas break, we begin working on speed, getting ready for the season start. This is where we bring all the elements together for their being able to run faster longer."

Waxahachie, TX, February 1, 2022 – The Covid-19 era has ushered in wide-ranging challenges from empty store shelves to long lines at the DMV, and public education has not been unaffected. School districts toil to keep students from falling behind, support teacher mental health, and ensure the doors stay open to address the growing reality that most students learn best in a traditional classroom setting.

Life School, a public charter school district operating in North Texas, has recently appointed three new members to serve on the Board of Directors.
