Titan Track Bulletin - May 20, 2012

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
At our pre-state meeting Thursday, the coaches brought up that the meet would be like a roller coaster.  Some ups, some downs, etc.  That was an understatement.  By the time the 39-hour adventure was over, about every emotion imaginable had occurred.  I have decided to try to detail the meet as it occurred- with some deviations- times are estimates.
FRIDAY
6:00 am- Board the bus, head to Provo.
8:50 am- 1600m run- Brandon Yardley begins the race, drops out after three laps as his breathing wasn’t working.  Oxygen helps when running long distances.
9:00 am- Pole Vault begins- Jake Zaugg and Zach Watson bye early heights.
10:00 am- Jaxon Worthen (15.39) and Shane Russell (15.57) run the #2 and #4 times in the 110m hurdle trials.
10:45 am- Kavika Fonua (11.22) and Jake Garver (11.24) make finals in the 100m dash over many athletes seeded much higher.
10:50 am- Pole vault suspended due to terrible weather.
11:00 am- Sam Segura, Courtney Lemmons, Shelby Cadwell and Rachel Lemmons run 52.87, narrowly missing finals in the 4x100m relay.  Sam “bites the dust” to make sure the handoff takes place.
11:20 am- Fonua, Garver, Jeff Knighton and Brennan O’Neil run great in the downpour turning in a time of 44.16 to make the finals of the 4x100m relay in the #5 spot.
12:00 pm- Yardley has gone to the emergency room to get his “fix”, returns in time to run 51.23 to make finals in the 400m dash in the #7 spot.  Jeff Knighton made a great individual sacrifice deciding not to run the open 400 so he can help in all three relays.
1:00 pm- Courtney Lemmons breaks the school record in the long jump leaping 16'06.50 to place 6th.
1:45 pm- Mike Russell (41.13), Jake Garver (41.19), and Shane Russell (41.55) qualify in the #2, #4 and #5 spots in the 300m hurdles.  Unfortunately, Jake was later DQ’ed for a hurdle violation.  Close call, but probably correct.
2:30 pm- Following a long rain/wind delay, the pole vault resumes.  Jake Zaugg (13'06) and Zach Watson (15'00) complete the most appropriate 1-2 event finish ever.  The 18 points were huge.  The satisfaction, not only for two athletes but also the old coach, even better than the points.
2:45 pm- Sarah Sperry, Sam Segura, Katrina Dunlap and Cheyna Field run a gutsy medley relay to make finals with a 4:28.87 time. 
3:15 pm- Brittney Martin’s 35'07.25 toss in the shot put is good enough for 4th place.
3:45 pm- Jake Zaugg, Will Haddick, Jeff Knighton and Landon Greenhalgh run 3:39.75 in the medley relay to make the finals with the fastest time.
4:45 pm- Matt Dunston (23.15), Brennan O’Neil (23.54) and Alex Vanderloo (23.74) run good races but do not make finals in the 200m dash.
5:15 pm- Brad Sherman makes the podium by throwing 149'01 to place 3rd in the discus.
5:45 pm- Sperry, Segura, Dunlap and Field again run tough to clock a time of 4:16.53 in the 4x400m relay, just missing finals.
6:20 pm- Knighton, Dunston, Watson and Jaxon Hansen run 3:28.03 to qualify for finals in the 4x400m relay with the fastest time in the trials.
7:15 pm- Pack up and head home
SATURDAY
6:00 am- Catch the bus again.
8:00 am- Mason Woodward PR’s in the javelin throwing 158'00 to finish 9th, just out of scoring.
10:00 am- Sarah Sperry jumps 4'11 in the high jump.  A little off her best, but a good effort.
11:45 am- Shane Russell runs 15.42 into a big headwind to place 3rd in the 110m hurdles.    Jaxon Worthen had step problems to the first hurdle and finished 7th in 15.87.
12:15 pm- Fonua runs 11.10 in the 100m dash to place 6th, just .07 out of 2nd. 
12:30 pm- Jace Skidmore fouls on a big jump but is able to salvage a 19'11 and gain experience for next year.
1:30 pm- Running together for the first time all year, Fonua, Garver, Knighton and Watson sprint to a 43.40 in the 4x100m relay to place 4th. 
2:30 pm- Yardley runs a PR of 50.11 in the 400m dash to place 7th.
3:00 pm- Spencer Hull, following 33 hours of supporting all of the Titan athletes, throws 47'06 in the shot put to finish 4th. 
3:15 pm- Mike Russell (41.06) and Shane Russell (41.60) finish 4th and 5th in the 300m hurdles to gain big points.
3:30 pm- The Titans have performed well.  There have been some great performances and outstanding efforts.  However, it looks like 2nd place is not possible.  Riverton appears to have a lock on the silver trophey.  However, an incredible two-hours is about to take place.
3:45 pm- Jaxon Hansen runs an incredible 1:53.53 in the 800m run to finish 2nd.  This is a school record and one of the top times ever run in Utah.  Yardley, not long after his 400m dash effort, moves from 9th to 3rd over the last 150 meters to give the Titans 14 points.  His 1:55.06 so soon after his PR 400 was amazing.
4:15 pm- Sperry, Segura, Dunlap and Field improve on the great effort in the trials to run 4:24.15 in the medley relay finals to place 6th.  Cheyna holding off the Jordan runner down the homestretch was a fitting conclusion to a great career at Syracuse.
4:30 pm- Zaugg, Knighton, Mike Russell and Landon Greenhalgh all run great legs to finish 2nd in the medley relay in 3:35.61.  Mike’s outstanding 50.8 400m leg came just an hour after placing 4th in the 300m hurdles.  Landon ran a great race to keep the Titans in the hunt for a trophy.
5:00 pm- Riverton’s big finish in the 200m dash brought them within one point of the Titans.
5:45 pm- The Titans hold a one-point lead over Riverton with just the 4x400m relay to go.  Riverton has run 3:20.00.  We have run 3:24.56.  No chance for Syracuse.  What follows is the greatest 4x400m relay ever run in Utah high school history.  Knighton leads off in 50.7 (his first 200 probably would have won the 200).  Dunston follows with a great 50.4 leg putting us in the hunt.  Yardley’s 48.8 gets the stick around for the incredible final lap.  Hansen challenges the state’s fastest 400m runner every step of the way to finish about a meter behind in second place.  The result was a 2nd place trophy for Riverton by one point.  The Titans run 3:18.88, the #5 time EVER run in Utah high school history.  Riverton’s 3:18.62 was the #3 mark ever run.  Prediction: this feat will never be duplicated as long as this old coach is around.
9:00 pm- Arrive back at SHS. 
It would have been great to have brought home the silver trophy.  That didn’t happen.  What I think everyone who was there over the duration of the 39-hours brought home was a collection of memories that will last forever.  Even if they did not compete in the meet.  As coaches, we appreciate the hard work and support of those who understand what is meant by TEAM versus what is meant by ME.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as Athletes of the Week were: Cheyna Field, Kavika Fonua, Brennan O’Neil and Will Haddick.  All did a great job at State as competitors and supporters. And Cheyna has been a great competitor for three years at Syracuse.  She will be missed. 

BREAKING NEWS
I’m not sure of the exact time, but I hear Haley Busby ran 3:24:40 for the Ogden Marathon.  WOW!!!  An incredible race for Coach Busby!!!  She has now qualified for Boston.

TITAN DECATHLON
We will hold the Titan Decathlon Tuesday and Wednesday.  This is for Boys and Girls.  The events are: First day- 100m dash, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m dash.  Second day- 100/110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin, 1500m run.  A lot of fun. 

CROSS COUNTRY MEETING
For all sophomores and juniors interested in running cross country, there will be a meeting Thursday, May 24th at 3:30 in the “Blue Room”.   The later time is to allow junior high students a chance to get over to the school.  Show up and bring some recruits. 

BARBECUE/AWARDS CHANGE
Because of so many conflicts, the barbecue/awards event will be Tuesday, May 29th at 5:30.  This will be for all athletes and parents.  We will eat and hand out some deserving awards.  Nothing formal- just a relaxing evening to reflect on a great year.

Titan Track Bulletin - May 13, 2012

ONE BIG WEEK DOWN, ONE TO GO
    Thanks to everyone that helped make the Region Championships as well as the Junior High North End Championships a huge success.  The “usual suspects” went far beyond the expected to make sure that things ran smoothly.  A special thanks to the coaches for all of their help.  Without your help, it would have been impossible to host either meet, let alone both of them.  Your love of the sport and commitment to excellence as an athlete, coach or official was very evident.  THANKS!! 

REGION ONE CHAMPIONSHIPS
    The Boys repeated their 2nd place finish from last year and the Girls moved up a spot to 4th.  Great weather and great efforts made for a very successful meet. 
    The Girls competition was especially tough with Davis, Fremont and Weber in the field.  They could very possibly go 1-2-3 at State.  Courtney Lemmons had the girls top performance of the meet as her 16'06" mark in the long jump placed 4th and qualified her for State.  Brittney Martin’s 35'04 toss in the shot put placed 3rd and she also is off to State.  All three relays earned a spot at State with 3rd-place finishes.  Courtney and Rachell Lemmons, Sam Segura and Shelby Cadwell ran 52.79 to earn their spot at BYU.  Sam, Shelby, Mallory Ashby and Sharlie Dimick finished 3rd in the medley relay running a season’s best 4:29.62.  Sam, Sarah Sperry, Cheyna Field and Katrina Dunlap also punched their ticket to State running 4:16.38 in the 4x400m relay.  In a highlight event, Michelle Thurgood won the pole vault clearing a school record 8'05.  Mallory Ashby and Jaylen Hernandez cleared 7'06 to finish 3rd and 4th.  This event is not contested at State but  nevertheless, it was a great achievement by the lady vaulters. 
    Other Lady Titans placing but missing out on the top four State Qualifying spots were:
Katrina Dunlap, 5th 400m dash, 1:02.21;
Cheyna Field, 6th 800m run, 2:25.26;
Jaycie Smith, Sarah Sperry, Marisa Guy, 5th place tie high jump, 4'09.
    The Boys had some outstanding efforts securing many spots at the State Championships.  In the 100m dash, Kavika Fonua (2nd, 11.19, #2 all-time) and Jake Garver (4th, 11.42) will run again in Provo.  Jaxon Worthen (1st, 15.42) and Shane Russell (3rd, 15.58) qualified in the 110m hurdles.  Shane (1st, 40.47, #2 all-time), Jake Garver (3rd, 41.26) and Mike Russell (4th, 41.44, #4 all-time) will represent the Titans in the 300m hurdles.  Jaxon Hansen (1st, 1:55.06) and Brandon Yardley (2nd, 1:55.85) ran great races to qualify in the 800m run.  Jaxon’s time was a new Region One and Stadium Record.   While the stadium hasn’t been around long, the Region records go back over three decades.  Brennan O’Neil (3rd, 23.29, #6 all-time) and Matt Dunston (4th, 23.30) qualified in the 200m dash.  Alex Vanderloo ran 22.84 in the 200m trials to qualify for State but pulled up a little lame and was held out of finals.   Jeff Knighton’s 3rd place finish in the 400m dash in 51.55 earned him two (hopefully) more races at State.  Brad Sherman won the discus throwing 151'05 and Spencer Hull the shot put with a toss of 50'00.  Spencer’s mark is the #3 all-time at Syracuse.  Jace Skidmore jumped 20'10.50 to place 4th in the long jump.  That is the #2 all-time mark.  Mason Woodward’s big PR toss in the javelin of 154'00 placed 3rd and is the #4 all-time mark.  And in the pole vault, the “dynamic duo” of Zach Watson (15'00) and Jake Zaugg (14'00) went one-two.  Zach’s clearance ties his school record.  All three relays had previously qualified for State, but had great performances in scoring big points.  Fonua, Garver, Watson and Zaugg ran 44.11 to finish 3rd.  Zaugg, Watson, Will Haddick and Landon Greenhalgh also finished 3rd in the medley relay following a circus-type first handoff.  And in an exciting climax to the meet, Knighton, Dunston, Yardley and Hansen ran away from the field to win the 4x400m relay in 3:28.97.
    Other Titans scoring included:
Dunston, 6th, 400m dash, 52.27;
Ashton Bigelow, 5th, 300m hurdles, 41.81;
Hansen and Yardley, 5th and 6th, 1600m run, 4:26.14 and 4:30.06);
Will Haddick, 7th pole vault, 11'02, #6 all-time);
Nick Merriman, 6th discus, 130'03, #5 all-time) and 8th pole vault (9'08);
Steven Carter, 6th shot put, 43'10;
Braiden Tovey, 7th shot put, 42'11 and 8th discus, 125'11, #6 all-time;
Jarom Hansen, 8th shot put, 42'02.
    There were many other great performances just out of the scoring.  Distance runners Maddy Neyts, Erin Kibler (12:28, #3 all-time in the 3200), Becca Jacobsen, Katelyn Davidson, Adriana McFarland, Landon Greenhalgh (4:33.71, #7 all-time 1600m), Parker Greenhalgh (4:35.79, #7 all-time 1600m), Cody Kelley (4:38.57, #8 all-time and class record in th 1600m), Tom Hill (10:39.29, #10 all-time 3200m) all had major PR’s in their events.  Spencer Woodhall had a 3' PR in the shot put and Jordan Bush big PR’s in the long jump and 200m dash. 
    It was a bittersweet meet as is was great to see so many outstanding performances.  At the same time is was sad thinking that for the seniors, it was their last meet on the Titan track.  There were some great memories established over the last three years and some great friendships.  It’s going to hard to replace this great class of 2012.

Titan Track Bulletin - May 6, 2012


BREAKING NEWS
This just in:  Ashley Perczak, Michelle Thurgood, Steven Carter and Jeff Knighton were all named to the 5A Academic All-State Team.  All four sport a 4.0 GPA.  This is a great honor to wind up four years of hard work in the classroom as well as on the field of competition.  CONGRATULATIONS!!! 

LAYTON DUAL
Our final region dual meet with Layton resulted in two victories for the Titans.  The Girls won 93-38 and the Boys 111-30.  There were some impressive performances in the rather low-key meet.  Kenzie Long was a double winner picking up victories in the 100m hurdles (17.20) and 300m hurdles (51.29).  Courtney Lemmons also picked up a pair of wins in the 100m dash (13.29) and long jump (16'00).  Both marks are high on the all-time list.
Shane Russell swept the hurdles with victories in the 110's (15.67) and 300's (41.35).  Jake Garver and Alex Vanderloo went one-two in the 200m dash with the #2 and #3 all-time marks.  Their times were 22.83 and 22.84.  Cardon Malan’s 46'01 in the shot put was good enough to win and the #6 all-time mark.  Frank Owens also moved onto the all-time list with his 10:41.2 victory in the3200m run.  Zach Watson improved on his school record in the pole vault with a 15'00 clearance.
The meet set the stage for some great performances at BYU.
 
BYU INVITATIONAL
Seven hours on a bus + 19 hours of intense track action = the best overall finish at the BYU Invitational we’ve achieved.  This is the oldest and largest track and field meet in Utah.  With over 70 schools from Utah, Idaho and Wyoming in the 3A-5A classification, the Boys 51-points was good enough to tie for 2nd place with Riverton.  Region rival Davis won the meet.  In combined Boys/Girls scoring, the Titans finished 4th behind Davis, Riverton and Bingham.  With three classifications and teams from out of state competing, this meet is much harder to score in than State.
Brittney Martin had the top finish for the Girls as her 36'06.75 throw in the shot put was good enough to place 5th.  That is the #2 mark on the Titan All-Time list.  Michelle Thurgood cleared 8'00 in the pole vault to place 6th.  Jaylen Hernandez and Mallory Ashby made it over 7'06 to finish 7th and 8th.  Many performances were very big even though they didn’t score points.  Kenzie Long PR’d in the 100m hurdles running 17.06, the #5 all-time mark.  Cheyna Field had a big PR in the 800m run (2:25.08, #2 all-time)) and Sharlie Dimick had a seasonal best in the 1600m run (5:27.29, just off her #2 all-time mark set last year).  Katrina Dunlap’s 1:01.56 in the 400m dash is the #5 all-time mark.  Cheyna, Katrina, Sam Segura and Sarah Sperry all ran great legs in the 4x400m relay to finish in 4:10.89, a five-second seasonal best mark.  And in the toughest performance of the meet, Adriana Mcfarland was knocked to the track in the first 100 meters of the 800m run, bruised and scraped up both legs, hit her head hard, got up and ran a strong race.  A very inspiring performance by the little sophomore!!
For the Boys, Zach Watson (14'05) and Jake Zaugg (13'11) went one-two in the pole vault for huge points.  Spencer Hull finished 4th in the shot put (49'10) and Brad Sherman 5th in the discus (146'05).  Jaxon Worthen had a huge PR in the 110m hurdles running 15.13 to not only finish 5th, but set a school record in the process.  The mark is the #1 5A time in the state this year.  Kavika Fonua, Jake Garver, Zach Watson and Alex Vanderloo ran a great 4x100m relay to place 2nd in 43.17 to tie the school record.  Garver, Vanderloo, Will Haddick and Mike Russell ran 3:39.22 to place 5th in the medley relay.  Mike was asked to run the anchor leg at the last minute and responded with a huge 1:59.9 leg to help the TEAM score big points.  Matt Dunston, Brandon Yardley, Jeff Knighton and Jaxon Hansen ran our best time of the year in the 4x400m relay (3:24.56) to place 2nd. 
While not scoring points, there were several great performances that made the Titan All-Time list.  Mason Woodward had a big PR in the javelin throwing 149'02, the #4 mark.  Garver improved his PR’s in the 100m dash (11.42, #3) and 300m hurdles (41.07, #3).  Steven Carter’s 43'10 is the #9 mark.  Knighton (50.90) and Dunston (50.95) moved into the #7 and #8 marks in the 400m dash.  While not a PR, Yardley’s 1:58.58 in the 800m run was a state qualifying mark.  Hansen’s 4:28.38 in the 1600m run is the #5 mark on the list.  Parker Greenhalgh (4:39.11, #7) and Cody Kelley (4:43.11, #8 and a class record) moved up the list in the 1600m run.  Landon Greenhalgh’s 1:59.80 was an improvement on his #6 mark in the 800m run.  Jace Skidmore’s 20'02 just missed his PR in the long jump and he had a slight foul that would have probably qualified him for state. 
Overall, this was a great meet for the Titans.  The early wake-up calls, long bus rides, long hours at the meet, were well worth it.  It showed that the Titans are ready to compete against the best.
