Because we are tapering our workouts in preparation for the upcoming UAAs this week, practice last week was lighter than usual. We are learning new techniques and strategies in order to perform at our best and give it all we got at UAAs.

Last weekend we journeyed to Clemson University to run in their Clemson Classic. We were very excited because Clemson had just completed construction of their state-of-the-art indoor track facility.

We left bright and early on Saturday, leaving at 7:30 a.m. for some and 7:50 a.m. for others. The weather was beautiful at Clemson, sunny with a little breeze, which allowed many of us to go outside onto the fields to study or leisurely read in a nice comfortable area. Some walked around and others warmed up outside before races.

The track was very nice and one that we considered a fast track. For some, Clemson was the meet to hit good times and set good marks in many attempts to qualify for NCAA indoor nationals.

Just as the meet before, many of us got the opportunity to run against Division I schools, and attached individuals, some sponsored by Nike and other organizations and others training for future competitions. Improvements are still needed on everyone's part in order for Emory, as a team in doing the best that we are capable of, this upcoming weekend at UAAs at Case Western Reserve in Cleveland, Ohio.

The best part of the week was when it SNOWED on Thursday!!! Maybe this was more exciting for me because as a native of Atlanta I rarely see snow, maybe once or twice a year, so I was just as excited to see it as my hallmates were at 5 o'clock in the morning.

Meghan Callier is a freshman from Atlanta, Ga. She would love to answer e-mail questions from Emory recruits and fans.
