Kewanee High School athletes recently took part in an NFL Style Combine event at the Kewanee High School Football stadium. Kewanee Football Coach and other members of the Kewanee athletics department staff oversaw the event. From the Kewanee Sports Department:
“On Friday June 2, Kewanee High School had its own version of the NFL Combine to start off the summer training season.
The Kewanee Football Coaching Staff helped organize this event. But it was all hands on deck for this event. The majority of the KHS Coaching Staff [ Fall, Winter & Spring Coaches} were in attendance to help put on an Athletic Skills and Agility Assessment for the Kewanee Athletes. Even the KHS Band Director {Mr. Binek} was running a testing station. Just about 100 athletes showed up to take part in the skill testing. The Athletes were tested in Vertical Jump, L-cone run, Broad Jump, Push Ups, 10 yard run time, Pull Ups, 5-10-5 Shuttle Run, 40 yard dash, Bench Press, 3 cone drill, Timed Plank and Grip Test.
The goal was for the athletes to find their starting point in their physical fitness. To test each individual’s athleticism. They now know what they need to work on over the summer to improve their performance.
The Athletic Department would like to thank all the athletes who came out and participated and everyone who gave up their time to help make this event a success.”
