Golden Eagles,
Wow it is hard to believe that the season is already half over. Every season without fail it always amazes me how fast the season rolls on. So it is with this season already. We are looking at the last 5 weeks of our season already. There are only four meets left to qualify for state. It will be here before you know it. We know that as you continue to “earn it” and never settle that great things will come to you and to our TEAM. We hope you enjoyed your spring break. Now that it is over, let’s refocus and keep up the work, squeeze out every drop, and “earn it!”
Our TEAM participated in the Utah High School Track Coaches Association Invite April 9th – April 11th. We as coaches were very pleased with the performance our TEAM gave in this meet. We can’t thank you enough for giving up a day of your spring break to compete in this meet.
