Lehigh University Track & Field - Taryn Schmelzinger

I got to interview my friend and Lehigh University track and field athlete Taryn Schmelzinger. Taryn let me follow her around to her practice warm ups. She shared with me why she got involved with track and her experience here at Lehigh.

Her warm ups were very cool to watch from an outsider's perspective. They started by running a mile (which would be my entire workout) and then stretched to make sure they were ready for the practice. I really appreciate her letting me sit in on the warm ups.

In regards to this video, it was extremely hard to get still-frames of a moving practice. Many pictures came out blurry, but perhaps that shows motion of the event. Overall, I loved this project. It was so great to see my friend doing what she does best, and I feel like this project helped me understand her hectic lifestyle.
