3/24 update

Phoenix,

I can't thank each of you athletes enough for your help during the Super Meet this week. We hosted over 1000 participants from 18 schools in over 2300 entries. I hope you take pride in knowing that you put on a great meet that over 1000 kids were able to benefit from. There were tons of PRs from not just our team, but the others as well. So again, thank you for helping so many people have a positive experience. 

As for our performances, we had several more all-time performances which can be viewed at the tabs above. I spent like an hour typing up the updated performance list because there were so many personal bests, and I'll happily do that each week if need be. 

Go take a minute to check out the updated performance lists and see where the new all time marks are on our current team.

As we enter the final week before spring break, let's keep the habits of consistency going before the break.

This week

This week we are headed to Syracuse High for the Davis District Championships on Tuesday and Wednesday. Each of the Davis County schools will be there, and it is historically a really good and fun meet. 

We are very limited on entries for this meet. We are allowed 4 people per event, which means only about one third or half of our entire team will get into the meet. We also have 8 entries per gender in an unseeded 100m and 1600m. Unseeded simply means those two events won't be scored in the final results, but they will still be timed accurately. We will get as many in as we can. 

That said, I encourage everyone to come to the meet both days to support the squad. I have two buses going there and back, and I'd like to fill them up!

The bus will depart at 1:30 on both days. You'll be excused on Wednesday for all of 4th period (Tuesday is the aspire/act testing day so no excusal necessary).

Kids are allowed to drive home with their parents from the meet.

Practices on Monday/Thursday/Friday will be as usual.

Spring Break

I know we are all gearing up for a welcome spring break. Whenever possible, get a workout in each day, the more specific to your event, the better. 

We will hold optional practices a couple of days during the break for anyone who is around. Those days will be determined in the coming days.

Parent Volunteers

We still have many openings for volunteers for our meets and end of year banquet. Please view the sign up genius here.

If you have any questions, please let me know.
