Distance Challenge Results & UHSTCA Indoor Info & Simplot Info

Golden Eagles –
The Distance Challenge was a fun opportunity for us to see how we are progressing early in this season. Thank you to all of you who gave up your Thursday night to race & run. There were several great races in this meet and it was also a great workout opportunity for many of you. Full race results can be found here: www.davisindoortrack.blogspot.com This meet gave many of you a chance to race on the track at the Olympic oval in preparation for the UHSTCA Indoor championships this weekend (Feb 3rd & 4th). We would encourage all of you to participate this weekend in the UHSTCA Indoor meet. The details of this meet are listed below. We will be leaving right after school on Friday to get up to the Oval in time for the races and field events. The cost for this meet is $4 for the first event and $2 for each event after that. This is a pre-registration meet so you will need to let Coach Wyatt know what events you wish to participate in by end of practice on Thursday. 

Simplot Games: Well it is getting to that time again for our TEAM’s trip to Pocatello Idaho for the Simplot Games February 16th – 17th. This is a great opportunity for you to be at a national meet, to compete with some of the best, and even more important than that, this is a great time to bond and get to know your TEAMmates. This is one trip that we get to do for our track & field TEAM.  There are always great memories made and good times had by all who have attended this meet. The experiences, inside jokes, and success had at Simplot carry over for the outdoor season and have helped our TEAM. Now with deadlines coming Coach Wyatt needs to know by Wednesday February 1st if you are planning on going to this meet. The cost is $150 (This includes transportation, rooming, registration, and TEAM dinner). This payment needs to be paid to the finance office by Wednesday February 8th by 3:00pm.

Outdoor Track & Field: Our first official practice for outdoor track & field will be on Monday February 27th at 3:00pm. We will be having an athlete and parent meeting on Wednesday Feb 22nd at 5:00pm at MMHS in the cafeteria. All athletes and their parents who wish to participate in Track & Field at MMHS need to attend this meeting.

Thanks,
The Coaches
