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 3^rd & 4^th). 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 16^th – 17^th. 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 1^st 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 8^th by 3:00pm.

Outdoor Track & Field: Our first official practice for outdoor track & field will be on Monday February 27^th at 3:00pm. We will be having an athlete and parent meeting on Wednesday Feb 22^nd 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

Weber State Results & Distance Challenge Info

Golden Eagles –

This weekend gave an opportunity for some of you to compete at the Weber State University development meet. We want to thank all of you who took advantage of this meet this weekend. These training experiences will pay off. Some of the highlights were: Our School Record being set in the girls 4x800!!! Members of this record setting TEAM were: Kylie Thompson, Jensen Williams, Brigette Harris, and Sarah Hash, their record time was a 10:44.44 beating the old record by 6 seconds and placing 3^rd overall! Sarah Hash also placed 4^th overall in the open 800 setting our #1 indoor mark of 2:31.92. Sarah was joined by Kylie Thompson & Brigette Harris on that all time indoor list in the 800 running times of 2:39.70 and 2:40.83 respectively (#4 &#5). Freshman Daniel Quintanna earned his spot on the all time indoor list in the 3200 with his time of 11:15.91 (#2 indoor mark). Freshman Elizabeth Knudsen also made it on the all tiem indoor list in the Shot Put. (#3 22’ 1”) Austin Cope and Jordan Porcaro in the 55 meter dash (#4 & 37 indoor marks) Nate Strong in the 55 meter hurdles earned a #3 spot on the indoor list as well. Kyle Thompson was able to improve in his 200 meter run. Sydney Jensen was able to obtain her goal in the mile. Our boys 4x400 TEAM placed 7^th overall with TEAM members of Nate Strong, Austin Cope, Daniel Quintanna, and Kevin Muirbrook. And finally Jensen Williams placed 2^nd in the 400 and the 200 (#2 indoor mark 27.45). It was a good meet for our TEAM and it was fun to see you all compete. It was also fun to see you all take on the right of passage dare of the massive milkshake after words. The singing on the ride home was entertaining to say the least. Seeing “Simba” fly & moonwalk will never be forgotten. Thank you to all of you who went to this meet. Thank you for taking advantage of these opportunities. Thank you

Practice this week will run as it has been for the past three weeks. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday meet at 3:00pm in the commons. We are looking forward to seeing all of you. Now this week brings us a unique opportunity This Thursday night is the Utah Distance Challenge at the Olympic Ice Oval. The cost is $5 and you can run in as many of the four events that you wish. Details are attached at the end of this post. The events run at this meet are all distance related with one fun 400 added in there. The 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 will all be ran at this meet. This is a great chance to compete on a non-200 meter track (oversized 422m). We would encourage all who can make it to this to do so. We would also encourage all the sprinters who can to go and run the 400 meters at this meet. We will meet at MMHS at 2:50pm to carpool & caravan on up to this meet for all who are going.

Thanks,

Thank you for all of you for giving up your Friday night and your Saturday to compete in this meet. Thank you.
