Amy Piccolo of Ursuline Academy has been one of Massachusetts Outstanding performers both indoors and Outdoors. She has an impressive resume that extends to almost every event in track and field. Starting later this week, Amy will be adding a weekly blog to Milesplitmass, detailing all of her weeks activities.
Milesplitmass: Tell us about Amy Piccolo away from Track and Field. What are you hobbies, interests etc....?
Amy P. : My school hobbies include soccer, robotics, and choral group. Outside of school I love to hang out with my friends, go shopping, and play the piano.
Milesplitmass: Even though your only a junior, what is your most memorable high school track and field moment ?
Amy P. : I would have to say my sophomore year when I won the 600m state championship. It was a come from behind victory and it truly took everything out of me. That was also my first All-State Title.
Milesplitmass: You have some amazing personal best performances ranging from the 55 Meter Dash to the 1000 Meter run. What event do you feel is your strongest?
Amy P. : Right now I would have to say the 600m is my strongest event.
Milesplitmass: What are your goals for the upcoming spring season?
Amy P. : We always try to pick 2 events that I can try and double at divisionals. I am hoping to run the 400m hurdles and either the 400m or 800m, whichever event makes the most sense for the team. Getting a PR in any event is always a goal. I also plan to participate in both multi-events this Spring: the Heptathlon and the Pentathlon. My goal for these events is to improve my results from last year.
Milesplitmass: What kind of training do you do in the off season?
Amy P. : Last summer I did a combination of weight training, distance swimming, some light running and a few running camps. I hope to do the same this summer.
Milesplitmass: What is your favorite type of workout?
Amy P. : I love a good sprint workout that ends with abs. I think 200 repeats are my favorite.
Milesplitmass: Will we see Amy add a 1 Mile run to your resume in the next yeaar or so?
Amy P. : Coach and I have be contemplating the 1 mile run. I may try it during a league meet some time this season or next.
