BYU results, Week 3 practice notes, & Weber State info

Golden Eagles –
               This past weekend gave us a good opportunity as a TEAM to start this season. It was great to see those of you who came and participated in this meet. We as coaches were very pleased with our performances in this meet. It was good to see so many of our new athletes come and try new events and set good marks for the start of the new season. It was also good to see some of our veteran athletes set good marks for this early in the season.  Some of the highlights from the meet for our TEAM were; Zach Decker setting the school record in the shot put with a 4th place finish throw of 47’ 6”(#1 MMHS All Time & #1 MMHS indoor mark) .  Spencer Hanson taking 4th in the mile with a time of 4:31.96 and Isaac Faux 8th in the mile with a time of 4:39.07(#2 MMHS all time & #2 MMHS indoor mark), and Lance Merrell ran a time of 4:58 (#4 MMHS indoor mark). Lance also helped our TEAM in the High Jump with a jump of 5’ 8” (#2 MMHS indoor mark) & tried his hand at the Long Jump jumping better each time finishing with a jump of 17’ 5.75”(#2 MMHS indoor mark). Eddie Prothero & Tucker Austin both improved on their last season marks in the 60meter hurdles running times of 9.73 & 10.19 respectively (#2 & #3 MMHS indoor mark). Tucker Austin, Kevin Muirbrook, & Riley Brown all ran the 400 meters. Riley also was our solo runner in the 60 meters with a time of 8.13. Kevin Muirbook was our solo runner in the 200 meters. Our boys 4x1 lap team fought hard and placed 3rd. TEAM members were Kevin Muirbrook, Tucker Austin, Isaac Faux, and Eddie Prothero.  
               On the girls side, Brette Bennett led the way for us placing 8th in the High Jump with a jump of 4’ 10.25” (#1 MMHS indoor mark) Brette also placed 8th in the 800 meters with a great race posting a time of 2:36.32 (#2 MMHS indoor mark). The rest of our girls TEAM all competed well in their first ever indoor meet, or first ever high school track meet. It was great to see Sophomore Tiffany Gomm take her shot at the 60meter hurdles with a time of 10.59 (#1 MMHS indoor mark) & she also ran the 60 meters with at time of 8.99 (#5 MMHS indoor mark). Sophomore Katie Bennett & Freshman Christine Heyn both ran their first 400 meters of the season with times of 1:10 & 1:08 (#5 & #3 MMHS indoor mark) Christine was joined by Freshman Megan Elmont in running the 200 meters with times of 30.01 & 28.90 (#4 &#5 MMHS indoor marks) In the girls mile Freshman Brigette Harris & Junior Alyssa Lewis represented our TEAM with good marks for them of 6:18 & 7:14 (#3 & #7 MMHS indoor mark). Megan Elmont also just missed out on the finals in the long jump with a great jump of 14’ 7.25” (#2 MMHS indoor mark & #4 MMHS all time) Finally our girls TEAM ran a 4x1lap placing 8th. Relay TEAM members were Megan Elmont, Katie Bennett, Christine Heyn, and Tiffany Gomm setting our #1 all time mark in this event.  
               The BYU meet gave us a good starting point, knowing that we have only had two weeks of practice before this meet we are pleased with this meet.  Thank you to those of you who took on the challenge and ran events that you didn’t want to. Thank you for all of you for giving up your Friday night and your Saturday to compete in this meet. Thank you. Know that the hard work you put into practice will pay off and the marks you set this weekend will only improve from this point. Now TEAM we hope you all will take full advantage of these indoor meets. This is one of the only times you will get a chance to run the full distances on a track. It is also a chance for you to cash in your hard work. Our next meet is this Friday & Saturday at Weber State University. Details are $3 for first event & $2 for each additional event. The meet schedule is attached below. Please let Coach Wyatt know if you are planning to attend this meet before end of practice Thursday.
               Now this week we don’t have practice on Monday because of the holiday so enjoy that day with your families. Practice will run as it has for the last two weeks. If you have any questions about practice places and times please ask any one of the coaches. There is also a track & field Fundraiser coming up on the 29th. We are sponsoring the El-Chepo Dance & the proceeds of this dance go to our TEAM. There are two things you can do to help with this fundraiser. #1 Ask your dates and go to this dance and get all of your friends to go as well! The more people who go to this dance the more money our TEAM will get! All of these funds go directly to you. #2 on Saturday morning the 29th we will need you all to help out with the set up & clean up of this dance.  More info will follow about this dance.
