All players were tested in the 40 and 20 yard sprints, 3 cone drill, 20 yard shuttle drill and standing broad jump. Some very impressive times and stats were posted that day .

Of note the top- 40 time - 4.6 , top- 20 time 2.40, top- 3 cone drill time- 6.64, top broad jump distance- 10' 8", top 20 yd shuttle time- 4.44.

The entire coaching staff was very impressed with the level and quality of athlete that turned out the attitude of all on hand was exceptional. The addition of these type of athletes should make for a very competitive camp when we go outdoors beginning in April.
