Episode 063: AHS Strength & Speed Program
While students and staff are away for winter break, crews will be putting the finishing touches on another major phase of our renovation and expansion project at Avon High School. A major area students and staff will be able to experience and enjoy when they come back from break is located on the south side of the school. The soon-to-open space includes classrooms, a new entry, and — most notably — a new weight room for Advanced Physical Conditioning (APC) classes and student-athlete workouts. Including before- and after-school sessions and all seven class periods, the current AHS weight room is used by nearly 700 students each day, making it one of the busiest and least suitable areas of the building. Click the link below to see the current weight room in use.
In this episode, Dr. Wyndham enjoys a conversation with student-athletes Nevaeh, Jayana, Fawzy, and Cannon about their workout and APC experiences. Then, they're joined by Athletic Director Jason Young and Strength and Conditioning Coaches Chris Stevenson and Craig Ray to talk about what drew them to Avon and their goal of involving every student at AHS who wants to get stronger, faster, and healthier. Stick around to learn how they're connecting with students, their goals for the program, and what they're looking forward to when the facility opens in January.
