Athletes Pumped for Spring SportsAJ Walkins putting in the work at one of his games. When the weather is warming up so are the sports. Here at Bear River High School the teens here have these to pick from: Football, Baseball, Swimming, Soccer, and Track. Gracie Riley does track in the spring. Her favorite part is that it’s a very relaxed sport where she meets tons of new people. It’s also very individual and she pushes herself a lot. “We do dynamic stretches as a team then split into our event groups.” When she does track she throws the javelin. She has been doing this sport for 3 years now. “Basically I just do a little run up and chuck the javelin as far as I can.” In the offseason she participates in soccer and basketball that help her stay in the shape she needs to be in to participate. Adria Flores plays soccer. He said that he likes this sport due to what it has brought him.“All the friends I have made and the fun games.” When he does some warmups he likes to do some light jogging, passing, and small games with his friends. He helps prepare himself by , “Just [being] confident in myself.” He has some great experience in this sport since he has been playing since he was 6 years old. When he is in the offseason he just does a lot of jogging and endurance drills and drills with the ball to stay in great shape. AJ Watkins plays soccer in the spring. His favorite part is probably the brotherhood aspect of it and that they make a lot of good memories while playing this sportThey usually do dynamic stretches to start off with and then do a bunch of different touches on the ball to warm up, says AJ. To prepare he eats a good meal and then usually just hangs out and talks to other buddies who also play soccer. He has some great experience in this sport as well since he has been playing since he was 9 years oId. He tries to play smart. “Soccer is a very easy game that we make so complicated,” he said. Playing smart helps make the game easy for him and harder for the other team. “It's like finding the better pass or the better position to be on the field to be more effective and as a teammate and making smarter decisions. If you can make smarter decisions with the ball it makes it hard for the other team and makes them work harder to get the ball.” Then when it's offseason he plays on the comp team to help him stay in shape for the next season. These girls and boys have dedicated years to these sports. They stay in great shape all year round so that when they are ready to play for the season they are just ready to play and have fun.
