March 21st - 26th - Davis District Championships

We had a great first meet this past week at home against Layton and we are so excited for this season. Thank you to everyone who helped run the meet and for those who stayed to help clean up. For those who took off early, please know that in the future we expect you to stay for the duration of the entire meet and not just leave after your event. Please be a team player and cheer your teammates on. We know track meets are long but if you were to be on the basketball team you would be at the gym from 2:30 until 9:00 supporting your team, that is the nature of sports. Please make an effort to be there for the duration of the entire meet. The results to our home meet can be found here: 2022 Layton @ Farmington Dual Results

This week we have the Davis District Championships at Syracuse high school on Wednesday and Thursday. This is our first team varsity invitational. With it being a 2 day meet, there will be some events only held on one of the days. For the shorter races there will be trials on Wednesday and then finals Thursday for those who make it into the top 8 from trials. Please pay attention to the schedule below and plan on going both days to support the team, even if you don't compete both days. To know if you are going to compete at the district championships go onto Runnercard and click on Farmington so you can see who is signed up. We have until Tuesday morning to get entries in so we will try to finalize things by tomorrow night. We can enter up to 4 athletes who meet varsity level marks for this meet. We will consider both the time trial and the last meet when making decisions on who will compete for Farmington if it is close, we will give the spot to those who have been attending practice regularly. Just because you might not be competing with us this week does not mean that you can't get onto the varsity team at later meets. Keep training hard and coming to practice every day. 

Entry into the meet for spectators this week will cost $3 each day, please be advised. Athletes competing don't have to pay to enter. For those who are not competing at the meet this week, we will still post workouts and have group leaders leading practice so still plan on going to practice if you don't make the varsity meet this week. 

For those going to the meet you are expected to ride the bus to and from the meet. If there is a rare circumstance that requires you to not do that, please fill out the bus conflict form so we know what is going on and check in with your event coach. 

With the early out tomorrow, we have been informed we are to not hold practice during that time period so practice will stay similar although we will go at 2:20 tomorrow so we can start a little earlier. Please go grab lunch and come back for practice at 2:20. 

Please consider helping!

We are collecting hygiene kits for refugee centers in Poland and Moldova.

Lifting Hands International (on the just serve ap) has refugee centers that are being overwhelmed.  They urgently need Hygiene Kits.

Please Bring the Kits to the District Meet on Wed or Thursday.

Please place in a Ziploc bag: (or bring the components)

-1 bar of travel size soap

-1 travel size bottle of shampoo

-1 travel size deodorant

-1 comb

-1 wash cloth

-1 toothbrush

-1 travel size toothpaste

    Now that we've covered everything else, it's time that I share some news with you all. I can't even begin to express the profound love I have for this sport, Farmington High, and all of you; my incredible athletes. You've given me a front row seat to so many unforgettable experiences; numerous region and state titles, new school and personal records being shattered, and the best this sport has to offer--the comradery and friendships. With that being said, it is very bittersweet for me to let you all know that this track season will be my last at Farmington High. I will not only be leaving Farmington High, but also education in pursuit of another business opportunity that I could not pass up on. 

    This decision did not come easy and was one that weighed heavily on my entire family. While I am eager for new opportunities and challenges, I will miss interacting with all of you and watching you improve and succeed through your efforts. I feel so fortunate and grateful for my time as a Phoenix and I want to thank you all for your trust in me as your coach and for letting me take part in your lives in this capacity. The practices, workouts, failures, and sweet victories have enriched my life more than you can imagine, and I will miss it immensely. Thank you for not only being great athletes, but for being great people. I do not know who the new head coach will be at this time but I can assure you I will help make sure it is one that I feel confident can help take this program to the next level. More information regarding this matter will be coming as I receive it. Forever the first, forever the Phoenix.

- Coach Brower
