Race Recaps:
PV Invite - A very successful meet for the team. We had more State Qualifiers and a ton of PRs. This team is really starting to come together. When looking at the 4A results so far this year, both the boys and the girls are sitting in 2nd place right now! So let's keep pushing and improving. A lot of good things can happen in the next 2 months.
In the girls 1600 Alli took 7th and set a season's best (SB); we also had great times from Brooklyn, Kate, Katie and Brinley which are contributing to our girls 1600 squad being the 3rd fastest team in the entire state. In the boys race Bryan got a new PR. Josh Heinrich placed a solid 15th in the 110 hurdles. Brynlee placed 8th in a loaded 100. And in the boys 100 Marcus set a new wind legal PR and took home 1st with Dom hundreths of a second behind him. Nic and Kemp had great races and placed in the top 20 overall with Nic taking 3rd in the PV Invite Session. Brynlee State Qualified in the 400 with a 4th place finish and Alli finished 6th. Jason ran an big PR in the boys 400 to take 9th. Brynlee earned another State Q in the 200 with the #1 4A of the year and a 5th place finish. Rachel ran an excellent time to take 12th overall. In the boys 200, Dom and Marcus once again went 1-2. This time Dom took the victory by .02 secs and set a new 4A STATE RECORD in the process, while Marcus' time tied the old state record. And again, Kemp and Nic earned top 20 finishes. The girls 4x800 was a very tight battle and ended with our girls just .01 off the win, but running the top 4A time this year. The boys ran to a solid 4th place finish. In the 4x200, the girls came out of the slower heat to take 2nd with another top time in 4A while the boys took 8th. In the 3200, Adri continues to chip toward a State time, just missing but setting a PR in the process with an 8th place finish. On the boys side, Boston and Scottie both ran a State Qualifying mark and were separated by a half a second. Our boys 4x100 crew took a 6th place. In the field events, our top performers were Carter who took 4th in the PV Invite high jump, Madi who took 3rd overall in the long jump and just missed a State Q while going over 16 feet for the first time, and Josh B. who earned a top 10 finish in the jav. We also had nice improvements from Nalu and Payton in the disc. Overall the girls took 6th out of 27 scoring teams, and the boys took 5th (and 2nd 4A) out of 29 scoring teams.
Thought of the Week: "You only find your limits by risking it all."
-unknown
This has been a great start to a season. It has been so rewarding to watch the team come together and each of you overcome the disappointments and struggles of the last year. It's hard not to think of all that has happened in a year, since this is when it all shut down and the bitter disappointments of what could have been set in. But you have all been so resilent - working hard to overcome struggles, setting aside things you can't control, and just giving it your best on things you can control. So as we head into the heart of our season for the next 6 weeks, think about this quote. Each of you are working very hard (some of you are really, really working). And we know you want the results to show all that hard work. So over the next little while think about how much you are willing to risk. Are you willing to possibly struggle in a race to teach your body to push to new limits? Are you willing to sacrifice a few more minutes with friends to stay and throw for just a little longer? Are you willing to dig in deep in practice and get the most out of every workout? You will only know what you can truly be when you are willing to risk all of it to get the absolute best out of yourself.
