February 3rd - February 8th - Utah Distance Challenge

Great job to everyone who competed this past weekend at Weber State. The results can be found HERE. This week there is another meet at the oval. This one is called the Utah Distance Challenge. This will only have 4 events: 400m, 800m, 1600m, and 3200m. If you would like to compete, you do not need to register early. Registration will take place at the meet. I will pay for you to compete so just plan on showing up Friday if you want to compete and we'll get you signed up.

If you haven't paid your $50 to the office into the track account for indoor track please do so ASAP.

We are coming up on official outdoor season very soon and we need to make sure the eligibility things are taken care of. Please go to the Eligibility page and complete those 4 things if you haven't already. I need those 4 things done by Wednesday February 12th. Please don't wait to get these things done.

**Those wanting to go to the Simplot games next weekend in Pocatello are able to do so but you will need to find your own ride and sign yourself up. There will not be a bus going up or anything like that it will all be on your own. Registration deadline is this Sunday (Feb. 9th) at 4:00 PM. Go here to find more info and the registration link: https://simplotgames.com/

Great job to all those who competed last weekend at the UHSTCA Indoor Championships. We saw a lot of great performances early in the season and that will set us up nicely for a great track season. This week we will continue practice and we will meet every day. Please do your best to be at practice as much as possible. This is the most important time for the upcoming track season. Get your friends to practice.

This Friday and Saturday there is a meet at Weber State. The field events will be held on Friday and the track events on Saturday. Please follow the schedule so you know when and where your event will be held. The track events Saturday are on a rolling schedule meaning they will start the next event as soon as they can. I have no idea what time exactly your event will be held. Show up earlier than you think and be ready to warm up as you get closer to your event. Please don't ask the coaches what time you will run because we have no idea. Here is info on the Weber State Indoor Invitational.

If you would like to compete at the Weber State Indoor Invite, please fill out this FHS WILDCAT SURVEY so coach Brower will sign you up. Do not sign up individually.

January 20th - January 25th - UHSTCA Indoor Championships

This week we start our 8th period track class on B days. Pay close attention to practice times so you know where to be and when to be there. We also have a meet going on at the oval this Friday and Saturday. If you are planning on racing/competing, please follow the directions below.

The UHSTCA Indoor Championships are this weekend at the Olympic Ice Oval in Kearns (West Valley) See the UHSTCA Indoor Championships link here to see an estimated schedule of events. We will sign you up if you would like to compete. If you are going to compete you need to complete the online waiver to be cleared to compete. Fill out the online waiver here. Once you have completed the waiver online, you are good to compete. You DO NOT need to sign up on runner card. We will do that for you. However, you need to fill out this online registration form so we know who to sign up for the meet this weekend. If you don't fill this survey out, you will not be entered into the meet.
We will not have a bus going to the meet so you can drive yourself or carpool to and from the meet. NOTE: It says indoor championships but it isn't a super crazy intense meet. Anyone who wants to participate can. This is the only "UHSTCA" (Utah High School Track Coaches Association) run meet and that's why we call it the indoor championships.
ALSO NOTE: There will be a $3 entrance fee for all spectators.

If you want to compete this Friday/Saturday please fill out the registration form here.
