We survived a very busy week... and we did so with some great track and field! First, a huge congrats to Brianna, Kaylani, Jada, Colin, and Parker for competing in and completing their Hep/Decathlons at the DH Multis. What a huge accomplishment it is to complete all those events in just 24 hours! At the Distance Carnie, we also had some other great performances. Mostly notably, Caroline State Q'ed in the 3200. Xander had a very good 3200 as well and just missed his State Q by less than a second. We had a ton of great 1600's - PR's from Carli and Jenessa (first time under 6:00!), also Nathan, Corbin (sub 5:00!), Tanner, James, Tyler, and Landon - sorry if I missed anyone there. We also had some solid distance relays. The boys and girls boys took first in the 4x800 (with the boys just missing out on the school record), and the girls had a great battle with DH for the 4x1600 title (just coming up short on a very windy day). The guys also claimed the 4x1600 title.
Earlier in the week, we had a very successful JV meet at Hurricane. We had many PR's, it would be impossible to mention them all, but some of the standouts were Brizbin with a very solid 112' disc throw, Jada's 1600 PR, and good showings from the rest of our distance crew.
This week, things calm down a little bit, but we have an important invite over at Dixie on Fri and Saturday. With Sr. Ball also this weekend, please arrange your schedules to make sure you are there for your events.
Monday: No school. Get your workouts in - check with event coaches to see if you have practice.
Tuesday: Practice as usual (no JV meet this week).
Wednesday: Dixie Invite registration due. Practice as usual.
Thursday: Practice as usual.
Friday: Practice for those not competing at Dixie. Dixie Invite - HS out at 1:35, MS out at 1:45 with bus coming just after release times. Athletes MUST ride bus, but can leave after assigned events with parent checkout.
Saturday: Dixie Invite - bus leaving HS at 7:45a. Athletes MUST ride bus, but can leave after assigned event with parent checkout. VERY IMPORTANT... athletes CAN NOT leave with friends to the dance, a parent must come and pick you up! Please plan ahead.
Another important note for all of our athletes: On meet days, you must be at school through out the whole day. If you are sick and have to go home, then you are too sick to race. If you have a doctor appointment, it must be pre-approved by Mr. Higgins. If you are tardy, you run the risk of a teacher not changing the absence (so don't be tardy). To compete at a meet, you must be at school!
YOUNGSTERS - important note from Coach Martha: You will not have practice this week - Monday there is no school, and Thursday, you are encouraged to go to the meet at Hurricane. The cost per event at the meet is $1. Get your rides arranged and go have a great meet! If you ordered a uniform and haven't got it, talk to Coach. If you haven't paid for one and would like one, talk to Coach.
