Mustangs are still training to win

"Everything has been electronic," said Anthony as they have relied heavily on technology over the past six months. "We have had the athletes videotape their practices. My athletes are pretty much doing the same thing that we would be doing together in person but we are just not in person."

While someone like a sprinter would train and practice differently compared to a thrower or a jumper the one thing that is consistent for all athletes across all sports is having to practice remotely on their own.

"The biggest difficulty during this school year to practice has been the lack of facilities and resources that would normally come with being an athlete at Delta College," said Anthony. "If my athletes need to lift weights they might not be able to just find an open gym to be able to do that. It's being creative at times and having to modify things and find ways. Every event group has a challenge. For our throwers, it could be finding 150 feet to throw a disc without having to worry about hitting anything or anyone. We are doing our best but it is not the same."

"We are doing the best we can to keep our athletes motivated and committed but it's hard because for some the motivation for school is sports. Some of them are built for this, some of them are not."

Some of those that are built for this include an impressive sophomore class that has not only excelled in athletics but the classroom as well with high-grade point averages.
