Golden Eagles –

Thank you for all of your hard work and your dedication with the long day at the Davis Invite. We had a lot of good things happen at this meet and a lot of lessons learned by all of us at this meet. Taking the lessons from each meet will only make us stronger as a TEAM and as individual athletes. There are always things to learn, and this meet and the last two have really helped remind all of us of the basics and fundamentals. It is by following the basics & the fundamentals, along with your hard work & cheering each other on that our TEAM will be able to achieve our goals.

Now some of the Highlights of the Davis Invite were: State qualifying marks set by Paxton Patey in the 800 & 1600, Jensen Williams in the 200, and Isaac Faux in the 3200.

This idea of working all the way to the end is not just something for track and field, but also for your school work, and for life. As you keep working and see it through to the end good things will happen.

Now this upcoming week of April 15 – 21 we have one meet scheduled and it is the Utah County Invitational on Friday 20^th & Saturday 21^st at Mountain View High School (650 West Center Street Orem Utah) This is a great meet for our TEAM for several reasons, first it gives us another opportunity to get those state qualifying marks, second it gives us an experience with a two day meet which is what State & Region are with trials and finals, and third this meet is at Mountain View High School which is were the Region Championships are held and it gives us a chance to compete at this facility so we are familiar with it when Region comes around in three and a half weeks. Now for this meet MMHS students will be checked out of class on Friday at 2:00pm junior high students at 1:45pm the buses will leave MMHS at 2:15pm. The busses will leave on Saturday at 7:45am.

This was a good meet for our TEAM and we thank all of you for being willing to go along with the last minute change in the schedule. Congrats to the boys TEAM on winning this meet and the girls TEAM was so, so close again. Don’t worry ladies it will come. This was a very balanced meet for our TEAM with every event area scoring on both the boys and girls side. That is an amazing TEAM effort, well done. We as coaches have asked a lot of all of you over this past week & you have risen to the occasion. Thank you. Now it is not over, there is so much more to do.
