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 3rd overall! Sarah Hash also placed 4th overall 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 ). 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. Our boys 4x400 TEAM placed 7th overall with TEAM members of Nate Strong, Austin Cope, Daniel Quintanna, and Kevin Muirbrook. And finally Jensen Williams placed 2nd 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.
