So sorry that it has taken two weeks to get this post up we will do a better job in the future. The end of our first "track pre-conditioning" season came with our TEAM's trip to the Simplot games. This was an amazing chance for our TEAM. It was a great experience for everyone including us Coaches. It provided a wonderful chance to see how our young new TEAM did against national competition. One of the biggest highlights was to see the look on all of your faces when you saw that track for the first time. That was one that was priceless. Of the 24 athletes who participated in this meet. Only 4 had been to the Simplot Games before! There were many highlights it is hard to include all of them here. Even with such a young TEAM we had many PR's set for the season! Some of the highlights are as follows:
Junior Spencer Hanson placed 6th in the 3200 with a time of 9:40.98 making it to the podium at this national meet! Way to go Spencer!
Senior Parker Cressman also placed 6th in the High Jump with a height of 6' 3"! Way to go Parker!
The boys 4x400 relay team of Seniors Jordan Cuthbert, Brent Strong, and Jeff Brammer along with Junior Eddie Prothero made it to finals and finished 8th with a time of 3:34.34! Way to go boys!
Thanks to all of you for going and doing your best. Big thanks to all of your parents for allowing you all to go and providing the money to go. Also big thanks to Coaches Kovatch, Lake, Swenson, and Boyack for all the time, help, and support. Coach Lake thanks for running one of the best 200's of the meet! Thanks to our Nebo School District friends from Spanish Fork, Payson, and Salem Hills Highs for the combined bus ride of a life time. Thanks to Bob for driving all of us there and back safely. Thank You to all of you for helping make this a historic first season. Now let’s focus on the outdoor track and field season and as our school motto says; "Take Flight!"
