ONE WEEK TIL REGION
The season is winding down. It’s time to “fine-tune” the training and give more attention to the “little things” such as sleep, nutrition, pre-hab, etc. It’s too late for dramatic changes in your training. Follow the advice of the coaches and you will be ready to perform at the highest level possible at Region and State.

The meet was a good tuneup for the Davis Invitational.
DAVIS HIGH INVITATIONAL
The 55th Davis High Invitational was a great meet for the Titans. By the end of the day, the medal haul was pretty impressive. Team scores are not kept at this meet. If they were, the Boys would have been up at the top with Davis and Riverton. The meet is divided into two sections with the Invited (afternoon) session limited to the top few athletes in the state. The Open (morning) session is still very competitive with only limited entries allowed. Lady Titans medaling in the Open session were:
Brittney Martin- 1st shot put (35'04.75, a state qualifying mark and #3 all-time);
Abby Call- 6th shot put (32'00.50);
Sarah Sperry- 3rd high jump (5'00);
Jaycie Smith- 5th high jump (5'00, #2 all-time); and
Cheyna Field, Sam Segura, Sarah Sperry and Katrina Dunlap 5th 4x400m relay (4:14.5).
Boys medaling in the Open session included:
Jaxon Worthen- 1st high jump (6'00, #3 all-time), 5th 110m hurdles (15.84, #4 all-time);
Jace Skidmore- 5th long jump (19'08);
Steven Carter- 6th shot put (43'01.50);
Shane Russell- 3rd 110m hurdles (15.64);
Matt Dunston- 1st 400m dash (50.99, #7 all-time);
Jeff Knighton- 6th 400m dash (51.55);
Jake Garver- 2nd 300m hurdles (41.56, #3 all-time), 5th 100m dash (11.48);
Mike Russell- 4th 300m hurdles (42.03, #7 all-time); and
Kavika Fonua- 4th 100m dash (11.42).
Top finishers for the Lady Titans in the Invited session were:
Jaylen Hernandez, Michelle Thurgood and Mallory Ashby- all cleared 7'08 in the pole vault with Jaylen getting the 6th place medal based on misses;
Cheyna Field, Katrina Dunlap, Adriana McFarland and Erin Kibler- 7th 4x800m relay (10:19.60, missing the school record by .6 seconds).
Boys medaling in the Invited session were:
Jaxon Hansen- 1st 800m run (5:54.79, a state qualifying mark and School Record);
Zach Watson- 1st pole vault (14'04, a state qualifying mark);
Jake Zaugg- 2nd pole vault (14'04, a state qualifying mark and #2 all-time);
Spencer Hull- 2nd shot put (49'07, a state qualifying mark);
Bradley Sherman- 2nd discus (159'00, a state qualifying mark and #3 all-time);
Shane Russell- 3rd 300m hurdles (40.90, #2 all-time);
Ashton Bigelow- 6th 300m hurdles (41.66, #4 all-time);
Brandon Yardley- 7th 1600m run (4:35.36, a state qualifying mark, #3 all-time);
Alex Vanderloo, Jake Garver, Jeff Knighton and Parker Greenhalgh- 3rd medley relay (3:45.84);
Vanderloo, Knighton, Mike Russell and Will Haddick (5th 4x400m relay (3:36.88); and
Landon Greenhalgh, Dunston, Hansen and Yardley- 2nd 4x400m relay (3:25.10).
This meet was a great one for the Titans with many state qualifying marks and the Titan All-Time list taking a beating. The boys 300m hurdles was the best example of this as our #2, #3, #4 and #5 all-time marks established in the meet. And all rank high on the 2012 state list. There was one “bummer” in the meet as Michael Phelps re-injured his hamstring in the 4x100m relay. Let’s hope that the recovery this time will be swift and complete. We will need some people to step up big time to replace him in the relays.
