2012-01-29T19:07:00.001-07:00

Golden Eagles –

The Distance Challenge was a fun opportunity for us to see how we are progressing early in this season. Thank you to all of you who gave up your Thursday night to race & run. There were several great races in this meet and it was also a great workout opportunity for many of you. Full race results can be found here: www.davisindoortrack.blogspot.com This meet gave many of you a chance to race on the track at the Olympic oval in preparation for the UHSTCA Indoor championships this weekend (Feb 3^rd & 4^th). We would encourage all of you to participate this weekend in the UHSTCA Indoor meet. The details of this meet are listed below. We will be leaving right after school on Friday to get up to the Oval in time for the races and field events. The cost for this meet is $4 for the first event and $2 for each event after that. This is a pre-registration meet so you will need to let Coach Wyatt know what events you wish to participate in by end of practice on Thursday.

Simplot Games: Well it is getting to that time again for our TEAM’s trip to Pocatello Idaho for the Simplot Games February 16^th – 17^th. This is a great opportunity for you to be at a national meet, to compete with some of the best, and even more important than that, this is a great time to bond and get to know your TEAMmates. This is one trip that we get to do for our track & field TEAM. There are always great memories made and good times had by all who have attended this meet. The experiences, inside jokes, and success had at Simplot carry over for the outdoor season and have helped our TEAM. Now with deadlines coming Coach Wyatt needs to know by Wednesday February 1^st if you are planning on going to this meet. The cost is $150 (This includes transportation, rooming, registration, and TEAM dinner). This payment needs to be paid to the finance office by Wednesday February 8^th by 3:00pm.

Outdoor Track & Field: Our first official practice for outdoor track & field will be on Monday February 27^th at 3:00pm. We will be having an athlete and parent meeting on Wednesday Feb 22^nd at 5:00pm at MMHS in the cafeteria. All athletes and their parents who wish to participate in Track & Field at MMHS need to attend this meeting.

Thanks,

The Coaches

Golden Eagles –

This weekend gave an opportunity for some of you to compete at the Weber State University development meet. We want to thank all of you who took advantage of this meet this weekend. These training experiences will pay off. Some of the highlights were: Our School Record being set in the girls 4x800!!! Members of this record setting TEAM were: Kylie Thompson, Jensen Williams, Brigette Harris, and Sarah Hash, their record time was a 10:44.44 beating the old record by 6 seconds and placing 3^rd overall! Sarah Hash also placed 4^thoverall in the open 800 setting our #1 indoor mark of 2:31.92. Sarah was joined by Kylie Thompson & Brigette Harris on that all time indoor list in the 800 running times of 2:39.70 and 2:40.83 respectively (#4 &#5). Freshman Daniel Quintanna earned his spot on the all time indoor list in the 3200 with his time of 11:15.91 (#2 indoor mark). Freshman Elizabeth Knudsen also made it on the all tiem indoor list in the Shot Put. (#3 22’ 1”) Austin Cope and Jordan Porcaro in the 55 meter dash (#4 & 37 indoor marks) Nate Strong in the 55 meter hurdles earned a #3 spot on the indoor list as well. Kyle Thompson was able to improve in his 200 meter run. Sydney Jensen was able to obtain her goal in the mile.

And finally Jensen Williams placed 2^nd in the 400 and the 200 (#2 indoor mark 27.45). It was a good meet for our TEAM and it was fun to see you all compete. It was also fun to see you all take on the right of passage dare of the massive milkshake after words. The singing on the ride home was entertaining to say the least. Seeing “Simba” fly & moonwalk will never be forgotten. Thank you to all of you who went to this meet. Thank you for taking advantage of these opportunities. Thank you

Practice this week will run as it has been for the past three weeks. Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday meet at 3:00pm in the commons. We are looking forward to seeing all of you. Now this week brings us a unique opportunity This Thursday night is the Utah Distance Challenge at the Olympic Ice Oval. The cost is $5 and you can run in as many of the four events that you wish. Details are attached at the end of this post. The events run at this meet are all distance related with one fun 400 added in there. The 400, 800, 1600, and 3200 will all be ran at this meet. This is a great chance to compete on a non-200 meter track (oversized 422m). We would encourage all who can make it to this to do so. We would also encourage all the sprinters who can to go and run the 400 meters at this meet. We will meet at MMHS at 2:50pm to carpool & caravan on up to this meet for all who are going.

Footlocker Results & Indoor track info

2011-12-06T18:08:00.001-07:00

Golden Eagles –

“Coach…Running IS fun!” was proven more so this past week than at any other time this season. Our TEAM finished our annual expedition to the Footlocker Western Regional’s in Walnut California. The weather was perfect, the beach amazing, and Disneyland was so much fun. Also the races gave us a final chance to see some of you race a cross country race & it gave others of you a chance to build for next season. The races gave all of us a chance to have fun and enjoy the fun of running. As you progress on in your running careers never lose sight of the fact that running IS fun and can be as fun as you make it.

Highlights of this meet included Freshmen Daniel Quintana and Maddie Ball earning one of those big footlocker medals. Both ran sound races. Sophomores Regan Pond, Brenda Quintana, and Brigett Harris all medaled in their races. Brenda reminded all of us that if you really want something and are willing to WORK for it and not be distracted you CAN get it. Junior Rachel Warnick ran an incredible race bouncing back from her earlier in the season disappointment to finish this season on a positive note. Seniors Hayley Knapp & Lindsay Schuring keep their tradition alive by medaling again in their races, showing all of us how consistency through the years is one of the keys to success. Great job ladies and good luck in the future, we will miss ya. Sophomore Steel Rasmussen showed his stuff again by earning a medal in the seeded All West Frosh/Soph race running against some of the most talented Frosh/Soph’s in the entire Western United States. Not bad for a first year runner. Another highlight was Sophomore Isaac Faux winning the seeded All West Frosh/Soph race earning not just a medal but First TEAM All West for the second year in a row. This was a great race for him and a reminder of how fun running can be.

Now there were several other runners that ran best times of the season and didn’t medal, and that is OK. It is not the medaling that matters; it is the journey and the progress you make in the journey. Let’s not lose sight of that. There were a few of you who had races that you were not pleased with, and that happens in running. However what you choose to do because of that is what seperates those who go on to greatness and those who do not. I know the people you are, and know you will bounce back (just as Rachel did) a wiser and better runner for the experience. Full race results can be found here: http://www.footlockercc.com/west/

We want to thank all of our chaperones who took the weekend off to come and join us on this amazing trip. Thank you for taking the time off of work and the time away from your family to help us. THANK YOU! Also a big time THANKS YOU to Coach Phil Olsen of Provo High School for organizing all of this for all of TEAM Utah, thank you.

Thank you for being so good and respectful for this trip. It really makes it a lot of fun for me when you all are so good. I really am very lucky to be along for the journey and I thank you for allowing me to do so.

Now that this season is over, the next thing up for all of you is to take at least 1 to 2 full weeks off of running. No running. Go be a teenager. Enjoy the rest for your body and your mind. Let your body rest. Don’t feel guilty for doing it, you have been running for 6 months solid. 1-2 weeks off is not going to hurt, if anything it is only going to make you better. If a week from now you feel like you need to run for your own sanity, than go on a few long runs (2 or 3 days of the week). Enjoy the time off. For those of you who just feel like you need to do something, the weight room is open after school. I highly recommend that you get into the weight room. Now is a great time to develop more strength that will help you in the track season. Track & field will HELP you for your next cross country season. I encourage all of you to do track and field.

Indoor Track will have its first official practice Wednesday January 4^th at 3:00pm in the Athletic Commons at the Southwest corner of the school. We will be practicing for indoor every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 3:00pm. The weight room will be open every day after school, with outdoor track and field starting the last week of February. As always if you have any questions please just ask. Thank you again for an amazing season and a great weekend. Remember that “running IS fun”

Thank you & happy running!

End of season thoughts and other info.

2011-10-23T18:19:00.002-06:00

Golden Eagles --

Wednesday brought the end of our third cross country season as a school. Since that time I have had time to look back at not just this season but at the past three seasons and our program as a whole. I am so very pleased with the direction that our program is headed and so proud of all of you. It was three years ago that we started as a school and had our first meetings, first practices, and set our first goals. Now with our "original" class of Golden Eagles finishing their last season I am amazed at what all of you have done. I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for our program. Thank you. You have really helped to elevate our program and our school. Let us continue to elevate our program even higher. The past three years have been amazing and the sky is the limit for the future.

This year we had our best finish ever with our girls TEAM finishing 5th and our boys finishing 7th. Also having Isaac Faux earning 2nd TEAM All-State honors with his 8th place finish, setting our school record, and making the all time list for the state course. Along with Steele Rassmuson earning a spot on that all time list. We also had Autumn Gibson, Lindsay Schuring, and Sarah Hash all earn spots on that all time list. Autumn just fell short of our school record by 1 second. We also had four Academic All-State Athletes in Cat McQueen, Bobbe Graham, Jacob Carter, and Nathan Vance. Way to go all of you! Let us also not forget the girls 4th place at the grass relays & 2nd place finishes at Wasatch Invite and Nebo Invite, and winning the Park City Invite. Great Job Ladies! We can also never forget all of the PR's and personal progress all of you made this whole season. We are so proud of all of you.

This year we set our goals and we were able to accomplish them. Never forget that you CAN accomplish goals! We set out with our theme of Invictus this year, that of being unconquerable. Now I have tried to help all of you see that you are the masters of your fate and the captains of your own souls. I know that you all can be unconquerable in every aspect of your lives, not just your running. When you are always giving your best and never settling for anything less than you best, than you are living that Invictus attitude we have talked about all season.

I will never forget all the good and bad times, the ups and the downs, the laughs and the tears of this season. It has been a lot of fun to see how you all have become friends with everyone on your TEAM. The friendships you made this season will last a lifetime. I will never forget the magic power of a otter pops. Who can ever forget the laughs and dedication also shared in our two cross country themed songs of "Cross Country Runner" and "RUN MAN" shared by Katie and Amberlee? The memories made at Shadow Mountain, the Karaoke up there, the games, and the campfires will never leave me.

It has also been awesome to see how you all have supported the other sports teams at our school. I have loved your upbeat personalities, and your willingness to help and support each other. It has truly been inspiring to me. I have been very touched and will never forget how much you all tried to live that "Invictus" attitude with all the physical, mental, and emotional challenges of this season. I have seen many of you overcome much this season and, having known many of you for a long time now, seen you overcome lots of things through the years. I am very proud of all of you and the progress you have made this season. I am so proud of our TEAM. I am always amazed and inspired everyday by all of you. Thank you.

I thank all of our parents for all of their support this whole season. Also the TEAM dinners have been just a fun time to be with each other and get to know each other better. Thank you to all who were a part of that and who put up with all 80+ of us invading your homes. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for raising such amazing young men and young women.

Thank you to Coach Melanie Barker without who this program would never be where it is today. Coach Barker I can't thank you enough for all that you do for all of these kids, for the time, the coaching, the advice, the laughs, and the support you give to all of these kids. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are amazing.

I will never forget the "lunch bunch" who always makes my lunch time so entertaining, thanks for the fun lunches, thanks for the games, the pictures, the movies, the running, and for the good example you all have set for my son. Thank you for your trust and your friendship. I will never forget all the talks that I have had with so many of you about not just running, but about life. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your life. It has truly been a great third season for Maple Mountain Cross Country. Now as we start our post season and start to turn toward indoor and outdoor track never forget what you can accomplish when you put your whole mind and body into it. Keep living with that "Invictus" attitude and you will be amazed at what the future will bring to you. Thank You Golden Eagles, Thank You! I feel honored to be one of your coaches. Thanks again -- Coach Wyatt

With the completion of the state meet our cross country season is over and thus starts our post season. Our TEAM will be traveling to the Footlocker Western Regional Cross Country Meet in California on December 1st -4th. We thank all of you who have gotten all of your money in for this amazing trip.

Thoughts on the season & Banquet info

2011-05-22T19:08:00.002-06:00

Golden Eagles –

When Kevin Muirbrook crossed the line on Saturday as our anchor of our 4x400 TEAM it brought to a close our second track & field season. (I am going to break from our normal “we” here and add some lines of personal note for this email/ post I hope you will forgive me for it) Since the end of that race I have reflected much on this season and on the past two years and it has led me to be humbled, proud, hopeful, inspired, and to shed many tears of joy. I have never been prouder of a TEAM than I have of this one.

When you really look at the big picture it is amazing for us to think that as a second year school we are competing at the level that we are. (Top 4 school in the state two years in a row, & tripling our point total on our girls TEAM in just one year.) We are above and beyond what the vast majority of the state is at and we are only in our 2nd year. But it is not just that, sure we could look at the back to back region championships in the boys TEAM and the 2nd place finish in region on the girls TEAM, and the 4th place finish at state for the Boys TEAM and the 12th place finish at state for the girls TEAM and say nice season. However that would only be scratching the surface with what really this season has been.

With reflection I wish to point out a little more of what this season has been. Of the 165 members on this TEAM (by the way that is 1 out of every 9 students at our school) there have been 165 different stories and lessons this season has taught. There have been PR’s set by every member of this TEAM. There were 16 new school records set (* = school record mark), there were 10 individual Region Champions this year, there was 1 individual state champion(Spencer Hanson 3200 meters*), there were five top 3 finishers at state (Jensen Williams 200 meters*, Lance Merrell High Jump, Spencer Hanson 3200 meters, girls 4x400 relay* Bingham, Elmont, Novak, Williams, and the boys Medley relay* Carson, Barker, Muirbook, Patey, and Hanson) , there were 16 members of our TEAM that scored at the state meet (top 8)( The above mentioned + Sondra Novak* and Nicole Hable in the Shot put, Skyler Porcaro in the Jav, Eddie Prothero in the 110’s*, Kevin Muirbrook in the 400, Spencer Hanson in the 1600, Hudson Sherianian in the discus, and ALL six of our relay TEAMs. Boys 4x100 relay Prothero, Barker, Muirbook, Carson Girls 4x100 relay* Heyn, Elmont, Weight, Williams, Girls Medley relay Heyn, Weight, Keliiliki, Schuring, Boys 4x400 relay Melling, Faux, Barker, Muirbook and Girls 4x400 Bingham, Elmont, Novak, Williams.) There was 1 academic all state member of our TEAM (Kori Carpenter), and 9 academic all region members of our TEAM, there are 6 members of our TEAM that were invited as a part of TEAM Utah to participate at the Great Southwest Track & Field Meet (Eddie Prothero, Lance Merrell, Spencer Hanson, Skyler Porcaro, Isaac Faux, and Jensen Williams). This season also our TEAM provided over 300 hours in community service for the Mapleton city & Spanish Fork city. We also helped to put on the first Special Ed track meet for all of the Special Ed students in Nebo District. By way of information the TEAM GPA is that of a 3.45. Members of our TEAM are giving back to their community in too many ways to mention here. Thank you & thank you to all of our parents for their support. Without them none of this would be possible.

I can never thank our coaching staff enough. They are amazing and care so much for all of you. It is truly humbling for me to be around. The time that they give from their families to work with amazing kids like you is a debt I can never repay. When you think that our staff has had in the past year, 2 kids born, 1 marriage, 2 kids go on missions, 2 start new jobs, 1 family member passing away, and all the other unmentionable family moments that have taken place during the past year, I personally am grateful that they would give up so much of their family time to coach as a part of our TEAM. Thank you Coaches; Kovatch, Barker, Boyack, Lake, Burtenshaw, Harris, Workman, and Brown thank you so much. Thank you also to all of your families and your spouse’s for allowing all of us to “share” you for a few hours each day. The lessons that they have taught all of us will stick with us for a lifetime. Thank you.

Now Golden Eagles I personally can’t thank all of you enough for all that you have given to our TEAM. I will never forget seeing our entire TEAM participating in the 4x400. That was so much fun to see & it was awesome to have a Maple Mountain “L” team compete in the 4x400. I will never forget the great throwers relays & seeing the distance vs. sprints 4x400. I will remember the pizza that you all earned after the throwers beat one 4x400 team. I will remember the root beer floats for practice & “The Remember the Titans” warm ups that you all do. I will always remember laughing so hard I cried on the bus and van rides and the stories that just never seem to end on those buses & van rides. I will never forget the times when I have talked with so many of you on a personal basis about life and also about track. I thank you for the trust you have given me. I have seen you all struggle and overcome so many things in life that I can’t help but be proud of you. I thank you for your friendship. I will never forget it. I will always remember the shakes after the indoor races and the memorable trip home from Simplot & the stories shared & the memories made there. I will always remember the “Lunch Bunch”. It is great to see so many of you eating in my classroom during lunch. You always bring a smile to my face. It is great to see the TEAM hanging out and supporting each other outside of the track itself. It has been a lot of fun to see how you all have become friends with everyone on your TEAM. The friendships you made this season will last a lifetime. It has been humbling to me to see so many of you grow up before my eyes. I can’t thank you enough for the great example all of you set for my son. KJ has grown up with you. He looks up to all of you more than you will ever know. Thank you for setting a great example for him. Thank you for an amazing season.

Now one final thought for this season: It is in the race of life that we really learn the lessons that are meant for us. In those moments when we are down and struggling, we really see what it is that we are made of and what it is that we can accomplish. Remember all that the race of life requires of us is that we run it! So Eagles keep on running! Keep on Running! And Keep on Running! Never let the moments of learning in this race of life pass you by and keep you down. This whole season has had numerous lessons for all of us, not just in track & field, but in life. Let us all remember these lessons and learn from them as we continue on in this race of life.

Thank you for giving us your very best. Thank you for going beyond your own expectations. It truly has been amazing to see & humbling to be a part of. I am honored to have been along for the ride with all of you. I am always amazed and inspired everyday by all of you. Thank you. It truly has been an amazing second season for Maple Mountain Track & Field. Never forget what you can accomplish when you put your whole mind and body into it. Keep "earning it" and you will be amazed at what the future will bring to you. The future is bright for all of you! Now go and get your mountain! Thank You Golden Eagles, Thank You!

I feel honored and humbled to be one of your coaches. With love, -- Coach Wyatt

Now some news and notes for everyone:

Now each of you need to take the much deserved time off from running. Take at least two weeks off and let your body & your minds heal. Than after that two week time come back ready for the work of the next year. Hit the weight room hard during this summer, put in the work so that you can reap the rewards later. For those of our track and field family who do different sports in the fall. We wish you the best of luck with your upcoming seasons & look forward to when you will rejoin us in the indoor season. For all of you who are not doing a sport in the fall we highly recommend that you come and be a part of our cross country family. Cross Country will only benefit you for track and will help you in more ways than you can imagine. Plus it is just so much fun!

Tomorrow Monday May 23rd is uniform check in. This is done in Coach Wyatt’s classroom C-108. We need you all to return your track & field and some of you your cross country uniforms so we can clear you from the fine list. You can do this before school, during lunch, or after school. Please get them in on Monday. Also if there are any flags still out there please turn those leftover flags back into Coach Wyatt and or the money for them into the finance office.

Also at 6:00pm is a sports information night for all who are participating in a sport next year at MMHS and need info about that sport. It will be in the gym and you can get a schedule of our XC season.

Tuesday May 24th at 6:00pm at the MMHS cafeteria is our Track & Field TEAM banquet. We as coaches are providing a BBQ for our TEAM and your families. Come and have some hamburgers and hotdogs care of your coaches. We do ask that if any of you are willing to bring side dishes or deserts to share with your TEAM to please do so. This would really help a lot. We have things that we need to give to each member of our TEAM so we ask that you all make every effort possible to come to this banquet. Please let us take the time to honor you. We are putting together a highlight reel of the season and ask that if any of you have pictures you wish to be in this, please get them to Coach Wyatt by midnight Monday night.

June 2nd – 4th Great Southwest Track Meet @ UNM Albuquerque, New Mexico

Saturday June 11th we are hosting a youth track club track meet with the other youth track clubs in the valley and could use help in putting on this meet. Please contact Coach Wyatt if you can help with this.

Monday June 27th is the start of our Cross Country practices that will be held Monday – Thursday during the summer. With Thursday nights as our TEAM runs. Our first night TEAM run will be on Thursday night June 30th as we will run the Bridal Vail falls run and we invite all of the “friends of the program” to join us for this fun run and the fun after.

Thanks for everything,

--The Coaches

Golden Eagles,

"Remember that there is ALWAYS more that can be squeezed out!" Lets focus this week on getting more out of ourselves and our TEAM.

This past week gave us two meets to report on. The first one was a region tri meet at Springville High School. Full meet results can be found here: http://shs.nebo.edu/sites/shs.nebo.edu/files/TriMeet%203-29-11.pdf It was a great meet and there were a lot of moments and races where you could see the progress you all are making. Thanks to all of you for taking on the challenges we as coaches gave you to work on. One of the biggest highlights of this meet was to see the whole TEAM participate in a 4x400 relay. This was a fun TEAM building thing that we hope to continue in all of our region tri-meets in the future. It was great to have 9 girls & 14 boys 4x400 teams. Congrats to the boys throwers for beating some of the runners and earning the pizza for the TEAM. We hope it tasted as good as it looked. Great job.

The second meet of the week was the Delta Invite in which both our boys and girls TEAM’s took 2nd place. This meet showed us as coaches a lot about our TEAM & it gave us as a TEAM some great lessons to be learned. It also provided several PR’s & season best marks for many on our TEAM. All in all with the 40+MPH head wind that everyone had to compete in, the good competition, the time with TEAMmates, it was a good meet for our TEAM. Full meet results can be found here: http://results.runnercard.com/Results/results.jsp?meetid=3254 Some of the Highlights for our TEAM from this meet include but are not limited to; Hayley Knapp having a great day winning the 3200 meters and placing 2nd in the 1600 meters.

Mt. TImp Invite Results & Week Four Notes

2011-03-27T22:08:00.000-06:00

Golden Eagles –

“Everything can be taken from a man or a woman but one thing: The last of human freedoms to Choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s way.” – Victor Frankl –Man’s Search for Meaning

The above quote applied so much for us this week. When you think of things that could go wrong at a track meet a list of things like; sever injury, timing system failure, rain & snow, cold weather, bus issues, switching the order of events, and running at 10:00pm would all be at the top of any list. However despite all of these things our TEAM learned a valuable life lesson in choosing ones attitude to any given set of circumstances. Thank you to all of you who learned this lesson and made the choice with your attitude at this meet. 90% of our TEAM set Season BEST and personal BEST marks at this meet! We got four state qualifying marks at this meet! That is 3 more marks than we had at this point in the season last year. Having only competed in one day of this two day meet we were in first place on the boys and girls sides. We decided to pull our TEAM out of day two for safety reasons for our athletes. I apologies to all of you and to all of your parents for making that call at the time, sorry for the inconvenience I (Coach Wyatt) caused you. Thank you to all of you for your willingness to go to battle despite the conditions. (You have to love spring weather in Utah.) We are proud to be your coaches. Let us keep up the positive attitudes, hard work, and trust in each other and your coaches and good things will happen to our TEAM!

Full meet results can be found at www.runnercard.com Highlights of this meet included: Skylar Pocaro qualifying for state in the Javelin with a personal best throw of 162’ 11” and placing 2^nd in this event. Zach Decker qualifying for state in the Shot Put with a school record put of 48’ 10” and placing 1^st in this event. Hudson Sheranian joined his TEAMmate placing 6^th in this event. Spencer Hanson qualifying for state in the 3200 with a time of 9:46 also placing 1^st in this event, followed by Isaac Faux placing 2^nd, Paxton Patey placing 4^th ,and Jonah Hadlock all three of them setting personal bests in this event. Tiffany Gomm qualified in the 100 Hurdles placing 3^rd in this event followed by Tarin Strosser who placed 5^th in this event. Eddie Prothero placing 2^nd in the 110 Hurdles, Jensen Williams, Tessa Weight, and Christine Heyn all placing in the top 10 in the 100 meters, Cameron Carson placing 4^th in the 100 meters, Sarah Hash placing 8^th in the 1600 and joined by Rachel Warnick in setting personal best times in this event. Jensen Williams and Rachel Bingham went 2^nd and 3^rd in the 400 meters followed by Sondra, Jalene, and Megan going 9^th -11^th. Kevin Muirbrook placing 7^th in the 400 meters, Makanize Davis placed 6^th in the Discus with a throw of 81’ 6”. There were several other highlights that we don’t have time to mention here. Great job TEAM.

Now this week we have two meets the first one is a region meet Tuesday March 29^that Springville High School vs Payson and Springville. For this meet you will be able to compete in up to four events of your choosing unless told otherwise by your event coach. The buses will leave MMHS at 2:40. This means for students at Maple Mountain will need to hustle from class to be on the buses on time. Freshmen will be excused from their Junior Highs at 2:15pm. The second thing to bring to your attention is we have a schedule change in our 2^nd meet this week. We will be attending the Delta State Qualifying Invite this Saturday instead of the UVU Invite. The reason for this change is that the Delta Invite gives us more opportunities for our athletes to compete. We are allowed 5 athletes per event at Delta, and at UVU we are only allowed 3 in sprint & hurdle events and field events and only 4 in the distance events. UVU also limits athletes to only compete in three events whereas Delta allows them to compete in four. Delta is a better chance for our TEAM to have more athletes compete and thus more chances to qualify for state. We really feel this is a better opportunity for our TEAM, thank you for your support in this matter. The buses for this meet will be leaving Saturday Morning at 6:15am! with the first events starting at 8:30am. The order of events will be posted soon.

Thanks & Happy Running, Jumping, & Throwing!

This weekend our TEAM competed in the Cougar Relays at Kearns High. This meet was a fun opportunity for all who got a chance to compete in some events that we don’t get a chance to run all that often. This relay meet helped teach our TEAM about how this is a TEAM sport. Congratulations to all of you for coming out of the Cougar Relays as the TEAM Champions. This was a full TEAM effort. We gained some invaluable experience running in the wind, the cold, and in a meet with 12 other schools. We know that this meet will help carry over into the state qualifying meets and the rest of the season. Some of the many Highlights of this meet were. We were able to come away with 10 “Golden Batons” (1^st place finishes in the different relays) The Boys 4x800 relay of Spencer Hanson, Isaac Faux, Jonah Hadlock, and Paxton Patey ran an average of 2:06 for this amazing race setting a new meet record. The Frosh/Soph boys distance medley (1200, 400, 800, 1600) of Ethan Lowe, Paxton Patey, Shay LaFaver, and Micha Sanders. The Boys Shot Put TEAM of Zach Decker, Hudson Sheranian, Tanner Blanthorn, and Houser Duncan combined to put together a total distance of 163’ 3”. The shuttle hurdle squad of Tiffany Gomm, Terrin Strosser, Sondra Novak, and Shantel Johnson led the way to victory while talking to each other going back and forth. The girls Frosh/Soph 4x1600 relay of Brigett Harris, Brynn Heckel, Kylie Thomson, and Bria Heckel battled against the guys to come out with this win. The girls 4x1600 of Hayley Knapp, Rachel Warnick, Sarah Hash, and Ashley Phelps also came out on top in this event. The Girls distance medley of Alenia Robertson, Ashley Phelps, Rachel Warnick, and Taylor Williamson joined the girls Frosh/Soph distance medley of Sierra Jensen, Gabbie Paice, Sam Jensen, and Brenda Quintana in pulling out the first place win. The girls throwers relay of Makinsie Davis, Holly Elmore, Nicole Habel, and Kori Carpenter helped out the overall score with a first place finish of their own. (The boys throwers relays got edged out by some kids who were much, much, smaller. If there was a relay for 200+lbs than we dominated that relay!) The final “Golden Baton” of this meet went to the girls 4x200 relay of Jensen Williams, Christine Heyn, Megan Elmont, Courtney Fryer this relay of one sophomore and three freshmen also set a new meet record in this event. There are many, many, many more highlights that can’t all be mentioned. We as coaches are very proud of all of you who were willing to jump in and compete in anything we asked you to. Thank you. If we keep up the hard work and the willingness to help out the TEAM in any way possible than we know success will follow. Full results for this meet were not available at the time that I put this email together. As soon as the results are available we will pass them on to everyone. Thanks for your understanding in this.

Golden Eagles –

This past week gave us the chance to have our TEAM get those first meet jitters out of the way. Sure enough no matter how jittery you were you all stepped up to the line and gave it your best shot. That is one of the things that really stood out to us as coaches. You all gave it your best. It was great to see ALL of you compete in multiple events. We were very pleased with the marks that we posted at this first meet. We as a TEAM are heading in the right direction. Now let us keep in mind that there are always things to improve on. Let us keep working on those things. You all now have a mark that you can use for the future. For those who have taken on the challenge of Track & Field for the first time this season, you take the time, distance, or height from this meet and trying to improve on that becomes your goal. You work toward that PR (Personal Record) always trying to improve yourself every day. As we all do this it will lift our TEAM.

Golden Eagles –

Thank you to all of you who helped with “El-Chepo” it was a lot of fun. Thank you for helping with this fundraiser. It really makes our jobs as coaches so much easier when we have the help like we had yesterday. On Friday night we participated in a new meet the Utah Distance Challenge at the Olympic Oval. This was a fun meet and a great format. It was great to see so many of you participate in this meet, have fun, work hard, and set some PR’s for this season. Thanks also to those who came and offered their support at this meet. Brigette Harris ran a personal best 6:13 in the mile. Jensen Williams placed 5^th in the 400, Bobbe Graham jumped in and ran her first 400 of the season, Christine Heyn also joined them in the 400. Christine was also one of the many who decided to jump into a race for a workout running the 800 meters along with Brigette Harris and Jensen Williams (all three placed in our top 10 for indoor). The Sunglasses ladies returned to set our indoor record in the 3200 meters. Thanks to all the ladies who ran in this meet and took advantage of this training opportunity.

On the boys side several of you also took advantage of this training opportunity running in a couple of races for workout part of it. Isaac Faux and Paxton Patey set new PR’s in both the mile. Moving to our #2 & #3 all time Indoor marks with great times of 4:36 & 4:41 respectively. Nate Vance, Jonah Hadlock, and Josh Watson all made their indoor debuts in the mile. Isaac and Paxton joined Lance Merrell in the 800 meters all setting our top 3 indoor all time marks. With Isaac running a 2:06, Lance 2:08, Paxton 2:09 respectively. Jonah Hadlock (2:15), Kevin Murirbook (2:18), and Nate Vance (2:22) rounded out our 800 meter crew. Kevin Muirbook ran his best mark of the season in the 400 meters (55.19) moving up to our #3 indoor mark with that race. Isaac, Paxton, Josh, & Nate all ran for the workout mileage in the 3200 meters all placing in our top 5 indoor marks. Thank you boys, thank you. It was good to see more of you taking advantage of the opportunities that these indoor meets provide. Full meet results can be found at http://davisindoortrack.blogspot.com
