After experiencing some technical difficulties, we finally present our second Workout of the Week on RI MileSplit. In our latest feature, we traveled south on I-95 to visit the Knotty Oakers of Coventry High. Under the direction of boys' head coach Carlton Bradshaw and girls' head coach Erica Horlbogen, Coventry has consistently produced quality squads over the last few years. At the indoor state meet back in February, the girls finished sixth among the 21 schools and the boys were tenth overall.
This video was shot on April 30, just two days before the Schomp Invitational at Coventry's brand new track & field facility. This is a typical early-season workout for the sprinters. You'll see some familiar faces in the footage, such as all-state sprinter Jose Santos and former all-stater Lawrence Warwick, a volunteer assistant at his alma mater.
