March 1st - 6th

Thank you to everyone who has been coming to practice EVERY DAY. The hard work will pay off. This is a friendly reminder that if you are wanting to participate with us this track season you need to make practice a priority. The season is officially underway and our first meet is a week from this Thursday (March 11th). So we need to make sure we are at practice and also make sure we are taking care of ourselves (stretching, rolling out, icing, eating well, sleeping, hydrating etc). All of the little things add up to helping us be at the top of our game. 

On Wednesday we will all be getting tested here at the school for Covid. If you haven't already filled out this Covid Testing Consent Form, please download this and bring it with you on Wednesday. EVERYONE HAS to get tested or you won't be able to participate in practice and competitions until you have a negative test. Our test time will be given to us later but it will be sometime between 12-2 on Wednesday. 

This week we will have a very similar practice schedule like last week. Please tell your friends who don't read this that they need to be at practice every day INCLUDING FRIDAYS.

Also please make sure you fill out the 2021 Track Covid Screening form every day after you have had your temperature checked by a coach.

Outdoor Track is here!! Feb 22nd - 27th

Outdoor track is here! Please tell all of your friends that they need to come to practice if they want to do track. Your Eligibility should be done by now so if it isn't you need to do it ASAP. If you have started your Register my Athlete I will have the office put the fees on your MyDSD so you can pay for them there. Unfortunately, we won't be doing a school physical night so you will need to get your own physical set up through your doctor. Please make sure practice is a priority. You also need to make sure you fill out the 2021 Farmington Track Covid Screening form every day. Failure to do so daily will result in your removal from the team. Please make sure you are getting your temperature taken and filling this out DAILY.

We have our online store going and we are still waiting for that gear to arrive. For those that would like additional items or who have friends and family members who want track gear or for those who didn't get anything yet we are going to do a t-shirt and sweatshirt order. Here are the shirts ($10) and sweatshirts ($30):

If you are interested in purchasing one of these, please fill out the 2021 Farmington Track Gear Order form and indicate how you will pay for them. Please fill this out by Wednesday 2/24 so we can get this order going while supplies are in stock. Thanks!

February 15th - 20th

We are one week away from officially starting our outdoor track season. Please make sure all of your friends know that Monday February 22nd, we are officially starting up at 2:40 after school. Also, as of right now only 35 boys have "Started" their Register My Athlete registration and only 28 girls have started their registration. Those numbers don't add up to the number of kids we have in our track class, let alone those who aren't in the class who are still doing track with us. PLEASE go and do your Eligibility. I need this done by Wednesday February 17th. 

We did a time trial for those that were there Thursday. Results are have been posted here: February 11th Time Trials. We also had a few athletes compete at the Jaguar invite at the Olympic oval in Kearns and we had a few athletes come away with some new school records. Henry Prusse is now our 400 M school record holder with a time of 52.60. Ethan Peterson is also a school record holder in the 1600 M with a time of 4:26.35. Congrats to these guys for the hard work they have been putting in through December and January. Results of that meet can be found here: Jaguar Invite Part 1

This week, due to the fact that we are not holding school Monday or Tuesday, we are unable to hold organized practice as it is not during our class time. So this week we will only meet on Thursday officially. We will still be posting workouts on Train Heroic so please make sure you are getting those in. This is our last week like this and then next week we will be meeting every day so make sure your schedules are set to be at practice every day.

We are 3 weeks away from starting our outdoor track season. Keep being diligent with your training. Check Train Heroic every day so you know what your workouts are. Thanks to everyone who has been keeping up with your training, it will pay off when we get into the season. This week will be similar to last week. We will meet on Tuesday and Thursday during 8th period. Those who aren't in the class, get to the track as soon as you can to try and catch the last part of the workout and to check in with coaches. 

With only 3 weeks until outdoor track, we need eligibility taken care of ASAP. Please go on and get that taken care of. Go to the ELIGIBILITY PAGE to see what all you need to do. 

We also have our online team gear shop up and running. It will close on Thursday so if you want to get track gear you need to get it ordered by Thursday night. This is optional but will be one of the only chances to get some track swag for the year. Go to our 2021 Farmington Track online store link to order. 

We will do a cheaper ($10) t-shirt for family and friends this year like we did last year. More info on this coming soon.

Go Phoenix!

January 25th - 30th

2nd Semester is starting! That means track class is going to be on Tuesday and Thursdays. We found out that if we do after school practices we have to get everyone tested. After talking with the coaches and trying to navigate all the Covid hoops we have to jump through, we have decided that for the time being we will only be meeting during class time on Tuesdays and Thursdays. That way we don't have to test everyone. Now, when we start into outdoor track officially, we will be meeting everyday and we will have to get tested every 2 weeks. More info on that will be coming but if you are working, once we start outdoor track (February 22nd) you need to block out after school for practice. If you aren't in the class, come to the weight room or track right after school to try and catch the last part of our workout for the day and to stay in touch with your event coach. We will be posting workouts everyday on Train Heroic so make sure you are checking that frequently to know what to do on the days we aren't meeting. 

We are going to be starting our team gear store. This is an optional thing but if you are interested in buying some track gear for the upcoming season we are going to be running the team store starting Tuesday January 26th and running it through Tuesday February 2nd. This will hopefully ensure we get our gear by the time the season starts in March. I will post a new entry here on the blog with the link to the online store. Again this is optional extra gear. We will likely be doing a basic parent t-shirt that will be on the cheaper end ($10) if you want to get a shirt but want a lower priced shirt. More info to come on that soon. 

Below is the practice schedule for the week:

Monday January 25th - On your own, check train heroic

Tuesday January 26th - 1:10 PM @ FHS Weight Room

Wednesday January 27th - On your own, check train heroic

Thursday January 28th - 1:10 PM @ FHS Weight Room

Friday January 29th - On your own, check train heroic

Saturday January 30th - On your own, check train heroic

Distance Mileage: Increase your mileage up 10% from last week (should be at 70%) 

If you are new or just starting to run, only do about 10-15 miles this week.
