We want to add a special congrats & shout out to our very own Terin Strossers for winning the BYU Invitational Heptathlon. Terin preformed amazingly this weekend in all of her 7 events scoring a total of 4364 points! She won the High Jump, Shot Put, Javelin & Long Jump, placed 2nd in the 200, 3rd in the 800, and after hitting a hurdle and the track got back up and placed 8th in the 100 Hurdles. It was truly an amazing performance and she earned the title of Utah’s Greatest Athlete! Congrats Terin!
Now this week we have two track meets. The first one is Tuesday at Payson High School. This is the Payson Relays and is a relay style meet similar to the Cougar Relays that we attended earlier this season. This meet is a very fun meet and a great opportunity to compete. The start time for this meet is 3:30. The bus will leave MMHS at 2:15 with students getting out of class at 2:00pm or 1:50pm at the Junior highs. The order of events for this meet is below. The second meet of this week is going to be a schedule change for us. We will be attending the Tiger Trials Invitational at Orem High instead of the Wasatch Invite. We will not be going to the Wasatch Invite but will be going to the Tiger Trials Invitational at Orem High. The Tiger Trails order of events is also below. The bus will leave MMHS on Saturday at 7:15am as this meet starts at 8:30am
