The Cougar relays are always fun and give us a great way to introduce a lot of us to the sport of track & field. It is always great to have opportunities to compete! This meet was full of opportunities! This meet is a great way for us to experience the TEAM concept. It is only as a TEAM that we can achieve our goals. We as coaches are so proud of all of you who took the opportunity to compete and to do your best for your TEAM. It is always humbling to see how many of you who are willing to step up and show heart and to compete for your TEAM. Thank you to all of you who did so!!! Thank you! We are still waiting on the results for this meet and when we get them we will let you all know in practice how our TEAM did. We know that we were competitive in this meet thanks to all of you who helped earn points for you TEAM. Keep up the hard work & keep helping your TEAM.
Now this week we have a very busy week for our TEAM. We have our first two state qualifying meets this week. In the sport of track & field there are limited times when you can qualify for state. One is the region championships the other times are the state qualifying meets. This week we have two state qualifying meets. For these state qualifying meets we are limited in the number of athletes we can have compete, so we as coaches will be Inviting those athletes to compete in these two meets, thus why these meets are often called “Invites or Invitational’s”. The first Invite of the week is the Mountain Valley Invite on Tuesday at Maple Mountain High School. This meet will have 8 schools that will be competing for qualifying times. The start time for this Invite is 2:00pm at MMHS. Athletes will be excused from their classes at 1:15pm to compete in this Invite. Because we are hosting this meet we are always looking for help with this meet. The order of events will be listed below. We are allowed 7 entries per events in this meet. The second Invite this week is the UVU Invite this Saturday at the Hal Wing Track & Field Complex at Utah Valley University. We are limited to 40 athletes per boys and 40 athletes per girls team. The start time is 8:00am and the buses will be leaving at 7:00am sharp. The order of events is below. The cost for all spectators for this meet is $2 dollars. This Invite is one of the largest in the state & will have over 40 schools competing. These two Invites are great chances for our TEAM to hit the qualifying marks against great competition.
Best Wishes this week!
