This weekend our TEAM competed in the Cougar Relays at Kearns High. This meet was a fun opportunity for all who got a chance to compete in some events that we don’t get a chance to run all that often. This relay meet helped teach our TEAM about how this is a TEAM sport.  Congratulations to all of you for coming out of the Cougar Relays as the TEAM Champions. This was a full TEAM effort. We gained some invaluable experience running in the wind, the cold, and in a meet with 12 other schools. We know that this meet will help carry over into the state qualifying meets and the rest of the season. Some of the many Highlights of this meet were. We were able to come away with 10 “Golden Batons” (1st place finishes in the different relays) The Boys 4x800 relay of Spencer Hanson, Isaac Faux, Jonah Hadlock, and Paxton Patey ran an average of 2:06 for this amazing race setting a new meet record. The Frosh/Soph boys distance medley (1200, 400, 800, 1600) of Ethan Lowe, Paxton Patey, Shay LaFaver, and Micha Sanders. The Boys Shot Put TEAM of Zach Decker, Hudson Sheranian, Tanner Blanthorn, and Houser Duncan combined to put together a total distance of 163’ 3”.  The shuttle hurdle squad of Tiffany Gomm, Terrin Strosser, Sondra Novak, and Shantel Johnson led the way to victory while talking to each other going back and forth. The girls Frosh/Soph 4x1600 relay of Brigett Harris, Brynn Heckel, Kylie Thomson, and Bria Heckel battled against the guys to come out with this win. The girls 4x1600 of Hayley Knapp, Rachel Warnick, Sarah Hash, and Ashley Phelps also came out on top in this event. The Girls distance medley of Alenia Robertson, Ashley Phelps, Rachel Warnick, and Taylor Williamson joined the girls Frosh/Soph distance medley of Sierra Jensen, Gabbie Paice, Sam Jensen, and Brenda Quintana in pulling out the first place win. The girls throwers relay of Makinsie Davis, Holly Elmore, Nicole Habel, and Kori Carpenter helped out the overall score with a first place finish of their own. (The boys throwers relays got edged out by some kids who were much, much, smaller. If there was a relay for 200+lbs than we dominated that relay!) The final “Golden Baton” of this meet went to the girls 4x200 relay of Jensen Williams, Christine Heyn, Megan Elmont, Courtney Fryer this relay of one sophomore and three freshmen also set a new meet record in this event.  There are many, many, many more highlights that can’t all be mentioned. We as coaches are very proud of all of you who were willing to jump in and compete in anything we asked you to. Thank you. If we keep up the hard work and the willingness to help out the TEAM in any way possible than we know success will follow. Full results for this meet were not available at the time that I put this email together. As soon as the results are available we will pass them on to everyone. Thanks for your understanding in this.
