5/11 Update

 Phoenix,

As you can see I'm several days behind on this update. We will be going to the state championships on Thursday and Saturday.

A bus will be going down and back on Thursday. It leaves at 7 AM. Anyone who rides the bus will get into the meet free. Extra credit for the class will also be given (10 points) for attending state. It will be school excused, and we will likely be back around 8:30 PM. 

We have a good group of athletes competing, and it is going to be a lot of fun. We'll enjoy supporting the kids racing while hanging out in the sun and playing spikeball and stuff on the grass. It is so much fun.

On Saturday, there will not be a bus, but we encourage everyone to come down and enjoy the experience and support the team. (I'll offer extra credit that day too, if needed). We end the day Saturday with the boys 4x400m relay, which is one of the best in the state. You gotta be there to see it. It's going to be a blast. You also really will want to see our 4x200m relays Thursday. And our boys in the 400m final. And our distance girls. It's going to be a show. I can't encourage you more.

5/5 update

Phoenix,

We have an exciting week ahead. On Wednesday and Thursday we have the region championship at Davis High School. Based on current projections, both our boys and girls teams are underdogs going into the meet. Layton looks like the favorite on both sides, in part because they are so dominant in the throws.

However, if we have some people step up in certain areas then we could definitely make in interesting. We'll talk more about that at practice Monday and Tuesday.

We will not be bussing to Davis. Please take a look at meettrax for the schedule and so forth. We won't have the entries finalized until Tuesday night, so nothing is set in stone until then. We will first make entries based on what helps our team have the best chance to win. Then we will make them based on who is closest to state qualifying. Then we will enter the next closest to scoring. At that point our entries will likely be used up.

The weather this week looks to be less than ideal, which actually I'm really excited about. That could potentially work in our favor.

On Friday we will be hosting Sophomore Region. The meet will begin at 2:30. Sophomores not going to state can compete there. Anyone who helps will get extra credit (up to 10 points if you are there the whole time). You are not required to stay and help the whole time, but it would be appreciated.

If you have any questions please let me know.
