Phoenix,
We had an exceptional time down in St. George this past week, with about 40 kids competing. Tons of PRs, 1 overall champion - Bode Jensen in the 400 with a 49.08; a new school record - Skye in the 800 with a 2:17.63, second overall, and like 8 seconds faster than 3 weeks ago at Simplot when she worried she'd never speed up (lol); our lone freshman on the Team, Addisyn, broke the top 10 all-time list in the 100m in just her first meet in high school, which by the way, was in to a -1.3 m/s head wind; a few state qualifiers; at least one Arcadia qualifier; several BYU qualifiers; one spot-it champion - Savannah Barlow; etc.
We brought a great group of kids on the trip which made it very easy for me. I am grateful to you parents for raising and sending such great people. Planning a trip like this takes many hours of preparation - the last two months have been a whirlwind trying to get the trip planned in addition to things like Simplot and the start of our season. Although we are hosting several meets in the near future, it will still be less busy that the last month, and I look forward to having increased capacity to help our athletes improve and have a positive season.
I am greatly looking forward to the rest of March. We have a lot of good things ahead and a strong team. Let us make the most of each day.
Register my athlete (still??)
Yes, still.
Make sure it is completed. Many of you are seeing a "pending" on the approval of things you've uploaded. That will be done once our AD has a chance to get to them. He's been quite busy as well.
You cannot compete from here forward unless it is done.
With 3rd term now over, those with "U"s in citizenship will need to have those cleared before you can compete. Anyone below a 2.0 gpa or more than one "F" will be deemed ineligible unless the eligibility committee overturns it. Talk to Ms. Zachman if you think that applies to you.
Practice Monday, Tuesday 3/11, 12
We will be practicing both days at noon. Do what you can with your schedule to be there. Especially with the meet coming up, you'll want to be sharp.
Meet on 3/13 at home
We will be hosting Weber on Wednesday. When we host meets, everyone is expected to help from the beginning until the very end. In the case of this meet, it won't go super late. That said, we will scan in to start practice and then scan out at the conclusion of the meet. You need not ask me when that will be, because we will gather everyone around once clean up is finished so I can talk to you for 17 seconds, and then we will scan out and dismiss.
I will post those assignments tomorrow, most likely.
Talk to your event coaches about which events you should do, if any. (Snow Canyon distance runners are unlikely to race this weekend, sprinters/throwers/jumpers may be a different story).
Team Store
The team store closes tomorrow. Please check it out asap. My Team Shop (bsnteamsports.com)
Uniforms
If you haven't received a uniform yet, we will be handing them out to those who have paid the fees and completed registration on Wednesday before the meet.
Performance List
I also hope to have a performance list for you by the end of tomorrow as well, which is a running list of everyone's PR in each event they have done. That will be found at the top of the page when ready.
If you have any questions for me, please let me know.
Coach Jacobson
