Chukwuebuka Enekwechi Training Blog January 19th

Hi, I’m Chukwuebuka Enekwechi. I am a senior on Purdue’s Track and field team majoring in Law and Society. I’m currently 22years old, stand 178cm (5’10”) and weigh 120kg (265lbs). I throw the Weight, Hammer, and Shot Put. My personal bests are 24.39m (80’00.25), 72.77m (238’09”) and 19.46m(63’10”) respectively. Health wise I’m doing very well, I incurred some physical challenges at the end of my 2015 outdoor season and through aggressive rehab am able to train and compete to my full capacity. (fingers still crossed)

My goal for the Indoor season is to break the 20m barrier in the Shot Put and push toward a World Championship and/or Olympic Games opportunity. I would also like to push my 35lb weight as far over 80’ as possible while remaining healthy for the hammer throw. In the hammer, I would like to better my Personal Best through increasing my specific strength and improving my feel for the ball. The last goal which has been one since freshman year is to score as many points as I can at Conference and Nationals between the Indoor and Outdoor seasons. I’m excited to see how the year shapes up!
