Indoor Track Bulletin - Feb 19, 2012

THANKS....
....to everyone that helped make the indoor season and especially the trip to Idaho for the Simplot Games a great success. A special thanks to Coaches Busby and Wilcox for the countless hours they have put in since our indoor season began 10 weeks ago, and Kevin Hansen for the 1000's of pictures taken at every one of our meets. The help from Ashlee Cannon and Jen Day has made a difference and is greatly appreciated. Thanks to all parents for your support. Double thanks to those who helped transporting athletes to Simplot. And finally, thanks to all athletes who worked hard, were committed, and supported the TEAM efforts throughout the season. This will pay off in huge improvements outdoors.

SIMPLOT GAMES
It took 46 hours from the first gun to get some Titans on the awards stand, but it was 46 hours filled with great efforts and personal records. Improvements and PR’s are the name of the game. In fact, the World Records are just someone’s personal record.
Erin Kibler got things started running a big PR 12:50.81 in the 3200m run, the #4 mark on the Titan Indoor All-Time list. Katelyn Davidson also had a big PR in the 3200 running 14:22.03. A little later, Brandon Yardley turned in a 4:29.92 for the 4th fastest time in the qualifying heats of the 1600m run. This is the #3 all time indoor mark and was the start of an amazing meet for Brandon. Landon Greenhalgh (4:41.44) and Nick Merriman (6:01.00) also PR’ed in the 1600.
On Friday, Jake Zaugg and Zach Watson easily cleared 13'03 on their first attempts to qualify for Saturday’s finals. Brandon, Jaxon Hansen, Mike Russell and Matt Dunston qualified for the finals of the 4x400m relay with a 3:34.90. Brandon, Matt, Zach and Kavika Fonua also made the finals of the medley relay running 3:45.85. Spencer Hull just missed by a few inches of making finals in the shot put and Stefan Kurzius had two great attempts at 5'11 in the high jump and also PR’d in the 60m hurdles running 9.39.
In other Friday action, PR’s were set by Kenzie Long (10.96), Ashley Rodriguez (11.63) and Lauren Busby (12.18) in the 60m hurdles. Lindsey Bailey ran an indoor PR 1:04.33 in the 400m dash and Claudia Lopez Cascon a 33.95 PR in the 200m dash. Maddy Neyts’ 2:58.77 was a PR in the 800m run.
Matt Dunston (24.70) and Brayden Ryan (25.55) had indoor PR’s for the 200m dash. While not a PR, Kavika Fonua’s 7.28 in the 60m dash was the 2nd fastest by a Utah athlete.
Coach Wilcox (5:15.86) and Coach Busby (5:38.97) ran great races in the coaches mile. Haley placed 2nd for the women while Coach Wilcox was 2nd in his age group and a crowd favorite. Way to represent the Titans.
In Saturday action, Zach Watson and Jake Zaugg PR’d in the pole vault clearing 14'00". That mark is also the new school indoor record and makes the Utah All-Time Indoor list. In the 4x800m relays, Katrina Dunlap (2:32.9), Erin Kibler (2:33.2), Mallory Ashby (2:43.1), Katelyn Davidson (2:54.0), Landon Greenhalgh (2:04.9), and Cody Kelley (2:09.9) had PR relay splits for 800 meters. In the medley relay finals, Yardley ran an incredible 1:57.5 anchor leg to bring help the Titans finish 9th. Will Haddick ran a good lead-off 400 and Dunston and Fonua ran 23.8 splits in their 200's to get the baton to Brandon. In the final event of the meet, Jaxon Hansen (51.5), Mike Russell (53.3), Dunston (51.6) and Yardley (50.8) ran 3:28.24 to place 5th in the 4x400m relay. The time is the #8 mark in Utah history run on 200m tracks. It was an exciting finish to a great meet and a fitting conclusion to a very good indoor season.
A great deal of progress was made over the 10- week indoor season. Let’s hope this progress continues throughout the outdoor season. A very successful journey awaits those who commit and work hard.
Complete results of the meet can be found at:
http://espn.go.com/high-school/track-and-xc/events/simplot-games/2012/story/_/id/7575780/2012-simplot-results

Indoor Track Bulletin - Feb 5, 2012

UHSTCA STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
This meet is considered the Utah Indoor State Championships. With over 60 schools competing, the Titans fared very well against the top athletes in the state. The boys finished 3rd behind Davis and Riverton and the girls were 16th.
The meet was highlighted by three indoor school records- all coming in the relays. Katrina Dunlap, Erin Kibler, Mallory Ashby and Cheyna Field ran 10:29.68 to finish 6th and set a new school record. Tom Hill, Mike Russell, Brandon Yardley and Jaxon Hansen followed that up running 8:23.98 to not only set an indoor record but capture first place in the event. The long two days was capped off by Russell, Yardley, Hansen and Matt Dunston running 3:27.95 to finish 2nd in the 4x400m relay in a new school record. This performance is also the #9 mark ever run by a Utah High School team. Riverton set the #8 mark in the same race.
In other results, the girls continued their improvement with several Titan All-time Top-Five marks. Kenzie Long ran 10.98 to move into the #5 spot in the 60m hurdles. Cheyna Field (2:32.46) and Katrina Dunlap (2:32.83) are now #4 and #5 in the 800m run. Not a bad result for Katrina’s first open 800 race. Erin Kibler’s 13:16.59. improved on her #4 mark in the 3200m run.
For the boys, Brandon and Jaxon had very busy days. Besides the two school records in the relays, Brandon ran 4:30.48 to place 8th and improve on his #3 all-time mark in the 1600m run. His 2:00.90 in the 800m run was good enough for 7th in the meet and also #3 on the all-time list. Jaxon ran 2:01.39 to finish 8th in the 800. In field events, Jake Zaugg and Zach Watson cleared 13'00 in the pole vault to tie for 2nd. Will Haddick moved into the #4 all-time position in clearing 9'06. Spencer Hull’s 46'06 in the shot put was good enough for 5th place. Though not placing in their events, the following moved onto the Titan All-Time list: Alex Vanderloo (24.06, #5 200m dash), Matt Dunston (52.35, #4 400m dash), and Cody Kelley (10:38.76, #5 3200m run).
The meet was a very good one for the Titans. It showed we could compete against the best. But more importantly, it demonstrated the competitive nature of many of you. The commitment to improve is what will determine our success in the outdoor season. This commitment is necessary from everyone- not just those who generally score the points.

PERFORMANCE OF THE WEEK
Zach Watson running 400 meters in a 4x200m relay!! Long story.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as the Athletes of the Week were Lindsey Bailey, Jaydin Hurst, Sam Segura, Tom Hill, Will Haddick and Matt Dunston. All had very good meets at the Oval, and more importantly, are making the necessary commitments to become the best they can be and to help the TEAM.

SIMPLOT GAMES
Coming up soon. We need to get the ride situation finalized. If your parents are planning on going up, let me know ASAP.

ALUMNI UPDATE
Lindsey McFarland ran an outstanding 2:19.01 at a big meet at Idaho State to win one of the two heats of the 800m run. That’s a huge accomplishment. Mayra Franco ran 8.01 in the 60m and 25.5 in the 200m dash at Boise. Great times for Mayra. Hunter Naisbitt threw 46'11 in the shot and 44'07 in the weight at the same meet. His marks will continue to improve as he adjusts to the larger collegiate weights.
