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.

Other Notes:
Other notes for this week for everyone to be aware of, with the end of the term (Thursday) make sure that you are meeting the requirements to be academically eligible & taking care of all NC’s. Simple solution here is to just GO TO CLASS!!! TEAM let’s make sure that you are all stretching and cooling down after your workouts as well as hydrating yourselves. Final challenge that we have for you is that at the meets you take the time to cheer on your fellow TEAM-mates as they compete. Thank you to all of you for a good first three weeks of the season. Keep up the hard work and it will pay off. Thanks for being a part of this TEAM.
A reminder for everyone that our first TEAM fundraiser is Shaun Dee The Hypno Hick “The Fastest Hypnotist In The West” on Tuesday March 18th 7:00pm at the Maple Mountain High School Auditorium the cost is $5 per person. We are asking you that bring 2 other people besides yourself to this fundraiser. It is a very entertaining show and an easy way to help your TEAM! Please spread the word & bring as many people as you can!
Thanks for everything you do for our TEAM! Happy Running, Jumping, & Throwing!
