1/29 update

Phoenix,

Another week of winter down, and apparently now it's deciding to be super cold. For today (Monday) we will likely practice indoors, as the temps in the afternoon look like they will be hovering around 20. That's a bit brisk for a harder workout - but, in the event it warms up, still come prepared to be outside.

UHSTCA Meet @ the Olympic Oval

This week begins our official TEAM promoted track meets. We will be headed down to the Olympic Oval (map) on Friday and Saturday. Here is the link for registration

The meet schedule is below, but be sure to read through the information so you know what you are doing (including information on spike length). Click "Schedule" at the top for the meet info and pricing (it's kind of small, situated right beneath the meet name). If you want to go, click register at the top of the page, and click INDIVIDUAL SIGN UP, do not create an account or it will get messy. NOTE: make sure you enter a seed time so you get placed in a heat comparable to your ability.

If you want to do a relay, let me know and I will sign you up for those, just make sure you have a full team.

Simplot

Last week I sent out an update asking for your official Simplot status. The time has come for me to drop rooms. I need to know today who intends to come, and who needs a room. If you are making your own arrangements, that's fine, I just need you to email me that so that I know. I will reply to your email letting you know I received it. 

I do need a few more drivers (although we have a small enough group that we don't need many), and I have a few drivers who can only go one way, if you are willing to drive one way please let me know.

UPDATED SIMPLOT FORM

It's going to be a fun trip. Looking forward to it! 

If you have any questions please let me know. 

Coach Jacobson
