Golden Eagles,
This past week gave us a chance as a team to try to “Achieve” at the Mountain Valley Invite. As a team we achieved 11 state qualifying marks at this meet. They were achieved by: Cam Bates (Javelin), Elli Eastmond (400 Meters, 800 Meters, & Javelin), Travis Farley (100 Meters & 200 Meters), Quinn Hooper (110 Hurdles & 300 Hurdles), Britney Lund (3200 Meters), River Woods (Discus), and our girls 4x400 of Heather Asay, Baylie Lund, Tennessee Schellenberg, & Elli Eastmond. Big congratulations to these athletes and also to the many athletes who achieved PR’s and season best marks at this meet. There were great moments of courage this meet and great moments when athletes stepped up and competed. Full meet results can be found at www.runnercard.com  We as coaches are very pleased with the steps our team has taken to achieve our goals as a team and as individuals. Keep up the great work, keep being positive, keep supporting each other, and know that we can still achieve more this season.
