Senior vaulter Amanda Rhoades offers a preview of the Ball State Quadrangular Meet...
Tomorrow, we travel to Ball State for a quad meet against Ball State, Western Michigan, and Northern Illinois. This meet will serve as a final tune-up for the MAC meet next weekend at Central Michigan. This weekend, we are thinking big, staying motivated, and competing with passion so that it will carry over into next week’s championships.
Although the meet is small, we still need to make every opportunity count. We cannot forget the "little things" of every event. We must get better every meet, so that when we arrive at CMU we are at the top of our game and ready to compete for the MAC title.
8 days until the MAC Championships! CTO!

Details...Details...Details
Even though we didn't have the most detail-oriented performance, we were able to win the 2010 All-Ohio Championships. Highlights included:
Nicki Mitchell's NCAA-qualifying mark in the Pentathlon. Nicki posted a lifetime-best of 3,884 pts. to finish first, which currently ranks her 14th in the country. Her score also included a new lifetime-best of 5.95m (19' 6") in the Long Jump.
On the track, Rachael Clay led the way for the RedHawks in capturing the 400m Dash, and running a leg on the victorius 4x400m Relay. Fellow sophomore Diona Graves also performed well for the RedHawks, as she registered a new PR in the 60m Dash (7.75) and placed second in the 200m Dash.
We will have one final tune-up meet, as we travel to Muncie, IN for the Ball State Quadrangular on Friday. Senior Amanda Rhoades will provide a meet preview on Thursday's blog entry.

All-Ohio Championships Preview
Senior Captain Brittney Bernardoni offers a preview of this weekend's All-Ohio Championships...
Wow, this season is going fast! There's only 14 days left to the MAC Championships- where we plan to show just how far we've come this year.
Until then, though, we are taking it one step at a time...this weekend we are headed to the All-Ohio Championship in Bowling Green. Our training is really starting to pay off, and we expect to have some big things happening at this meet. All-Ohios will be our warm-up for MACs, so I can’t wait to see how many PR’s we achieve!
My favorite part about this team is how well we have come together as a team. No matter where you are at a meet, you can hear Miami voices encouraging our teammates…“I see your Hope!” “Lookin’ good Amanda!” “That ‘a way Kristen!” “Get After it Nik!” Everyone knows your PR and your goal for the meet, and can’t wait to congratulate you once you achieve it.
This team atmosphere will make the MAC Championships even more fun and exciting, as we watch our teammates taking down the competition. We have made a Commitment to take care of business on and off the track these last few weeks to put ourselves in the best position possible to accomplish great things on the 26th and 27th.
This year, we're gonna Create The Order!

Meyo Invite Preview
Nicki Mitchell, a senior multi-eventer for the RedHawks, offers a preview of this weekend's Meyo Invite at Notre Dame...
So far, we have had some solid performances, with numerous PRs at every meet. It’s exciting to see that the hard work we put in at practice is paying off...
What’s even more exciting is seeing the team's excitement...everyone is keeping track of everyone else’s PRs and sharing in their excitement. And, when you have that kind of team unity, you can really feel how committed this team is to winning a conference championship! We are encouraging each other to improve at every meet because we all have the same goal- to win MAC's.
But, despite the exciting outcomes we have had so far, we cannot be satisfied yet. Our training is built to peak at MAC's, so in the words of Frank Sinatra...the best is yet to come.
