\"\"<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The President of the United States in considered by many to be the \u201cLeader of the Free World\u201d.\u00a0 In some circles, the President holds almost as much \u201cpower\u201d as the Pope, and right in line to be the next to God after him.\u00a0 It would appear that perhaps the position is a bit over inflated, and at times intimidating, but it is without a doubt one of the most demanding responsibilities in the world.\u00a0 What is rather strange, though, is that quite often it is very difficult to determine the \u201cstrong suit\u201d of any particular President.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The same could be said of those athletes that compete in the Combined Events in Track & Field.\u00a0 Max Comer (Country Mills Eagles) proves just this point, as he set a new President\u2019s Open Record in the Youth Boy\u2019s Pentathlon with 1,953 points.\u00a0 Is he a Max Of All Trades, but Master of None?\u00a0 Well, maybe\u2026sort of\u2026 at least not yet.\u00a0 According to head Coach of the Country Mills Eagles, Anthony Mills, \u201cThe ultimate opportunity to help a coach determine the strengths of an athlete is to have them compete in the Combined Events.\u201d\u00a0 He continues, \u201cThis allows them to Cross Train, and at the same time find what event may actually be their strength.\u00a0 If, or when, they choose to pursue that strength, they have developed a very solid base from which to build on that strength.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0On a day that saw four (4) Combined Event Records fall, we thought it would only be appropriate to highlight the performances of the athletes that are well known for multi-tasking.\u00a0 If you are the type that can walk and chew gum at the same time, you are well on your way to a future in the Combined Events\u2026well, it takes a bit more skill and persistence than that, but you should certainly consider competing as one.<\/p>\n
