Follow LC’s Coach Holman at the Beijing Olympics!

Mike Holman, head boys cross country and track and field coach at Lawrence Central High School, has been invited by the Olympic Committee to travel to Beijing China for the Olympic Games this summer.

Coach Holman will be a member of the track and field video analysis crew. He will be responsible for breaking down the athletes’ performances for an event in order for the coaches to adjust approaches, angles, steps, speeds, etc. in order to maximize the athlete’s height, distance, time, etc.

We invite the community to follow Coach Holman’s journey through our Lawrence Township website.  There you will not only be able to read about his experiences along the way, but also interact with him by submitting questions for him to answer about his journey.

Follow his journey and interact with Coach Holman through our blog!
Good Luck, Coach!!

This inspiring overnight event unites people throughout our community in the common goal of eliminating cancer as a major health problem. Teams camp out and take turns walking around a track. They join area cancer survivors in celebrating their collective victory over cancer during a special Survivors Lap. They take time to honor and remember cancer survivors and those who lost the battle during the evening Luminaria Ceremony. They also Fight Back against cancer by pledging to save one life from cancer before next year’s Relay.
