Golden Eagles --
The UVU invite was a good meet for us to compete in. We were able to get some state qualifying marks, set a school record, have improvements, set PR's and also compete. As a TEAM we competed really well. It was great to see our TEAM compete in a larger invite setting. There were many things that went well and always there are things to improve on. We as coaches know that if we as a TEAM put in the full work on all aspects of practice & competing than great things can come this season. Congrats to Maddie Ball & Britney Lund for qualifying for state in the 800 & 1600 also congrats to Elli Eastmond for qualifying for state in the Javelin and also our girls 4x400 Relay. Congrats to Maddie Watson for setting the school record in the Discus. These were just a few of the many great marks this weekend. Full results can be found at runnercard.com under UVU Invite.

Golden Eagles,
This past weekend gave us the chance to have our first state qualifying meet. This was a great meet held at Provo High School where the region championships will be held in May. We as coaches were very pleased with the competitive efforts that we saw at this meet. There were several great marks at this meet. We as a team were able to come away with 10 state qualifying marks, and that makes a fantastic meet. There is always room for improvement and we have things as a team we need to work on, but as we continue to work on them hard in practice than the success we seek will come our way. We just have to keep working hard. Full results can be found at www.runnercard.com

Golden Eagles –
It was great to have a few meets this week and to get those first ones out of the way. There were lots of good performances at this meet. Several of you now have benchmarks that you can work from. 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. We as coaches know that you all can and will do great things.
Congrats to Britney Lund & Maddie Watson for setting school records this week in the 3200 & the Discus!
Now this week we have a very busy week for our TEAM. We have our first state qualifying meet 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 our first state qualifying meet. 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 meets, thus why these meets are often called “Invites or Invitational’s”. The first Invite of the year is the Mountain Valley Invite on Friday the 20th at Provo High School. This meet will have 8 schools that will be competing for qualifying times. The order of events will be listed below. As is always the case, if you have any questions please feel free to ask.

The Second track meet is the Cougar Relays. This week’s track meet is a “Relay Challenge Meet” This meet is a fun meet and a great chance for us to compete in some fun events that are not normally held (i.e. the throwers relay, sprint medley, shuttle hurdle relay). For many of our athletes who competed the last three years in this meet they have commented on how it was one of the highlights of the year and one of the funnest track meets of the year. We have been very successful in this meet every year it has existed and hope to do so again this year. This is one of the only meets in which you will be competing by somewhat of a grade level (Freshman/Sophomores & than Juniors/Seniors) It is also one of the only meets in which they add the scores from both the boys and the girls TEAMs.

Thanks for your understanding on this. IF you know you, for some reason, will not be attending this meet please let Coach Wyatt know by end of practice Monday. Thanks. The buses will be leaving Maple Mtn. on Friday at 1:30pm and on Saturday at 7:30am. Start time on Friday is 3:30pm & 9:00am on Saturday. This will be a very fun meet & don’t miss out on this meet!!!
