Intervals,Intervals,Intervals. Also, i would recommend for the mornings:
5 minute warmup
15 minute speedwork
5 minute cooldown
5 minute stretch
Then do whatever your coach says for the afternoon.

Five minutes isn't really a warmup/cooldown

I agree, but your really not warming up for a 'real' workout. The idea is to get your legs snappy, fresh and ready for the afternoon's workout. Also, i should have mentioned that the speedwork is not the usual balls to the walls 100's or 200's, its more of a 100 meter stride at a fast but controlled pace.

I like using my elliptical since I have knee problems, it's great for off season running especially now that it's December and all. (personally I like running in the cold but that's me)

You're doing really well from the looks of those times. You'll have no problem Junior year.

LightKnight, those are ok times for the first meet...and on top of that it was indoor. where were you in the line up though? start, 2, 3, or anchor? depending on where you are can have a big impact on the time you run. for instance if you run first then you will have the pressure of getting your relay in the race thus making you need to run faster...same goes for the anchor..but im sure you already knew this. usually the 2 middle people are the slowest of the 4th...but that doesnt mean that they are slow.

i just ran an 800m race a few days ago...well it wasnt a race it was just me seeing what shape im in. i ran a 2:17...not bad for not running since october 1st...
