Titan Track Bulletin - May 19, 2013

 
THANKS FOR THE GREAT SUPPORT

AGAIN! This was the title last week, but certainly applicable again this week. Thanks to all who supported the TEAM at State, especially those who weren’t competing and made the trip to Provo. Special thanks to Kevin Hansen for his efforts at State, and all year for that matter, taking some great pictures. It was also great to have our administrators, Mrs. Nelson and Mrs. Mudrow, showing their support of Titan Track. It makes a difference.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

After two long days, the Lady Titans far exceeded expectations in finishing 12^th in the team race. The Boys were 6^th, with the chance for a 3^rd-place finish going down with a pulled hamstring. As usual, the meet resembled a roller coaster with many highs and a few lows during the 36 hours from the first gun to the final finish.

Friday got off to a good start with Bella Williams and Sharlie Dimick running 5:12.63 and 5:14.02 in the 1600m run. While finishing just out of scoring, the times were PR’s and also the #2 and #3 times on the Titan All-Time list. Landon Greenhalgh had about the same fate as his 4:24.02 in the 1600m run left him in 9^th place in the 1600. Most years, those times would have put all three in the top-five. Nick Merriman continued the good start by throwing 144'02 to place 6^th in the discus. Brenn Flint threw 36'03", just 5-inches off her PR, to pick up a 6^th place medal in the shot put. Ali Morris capped off a great day for our field events as she tied our school record in the long jump (16'06.50) to place 4^th. Suzy Robertson (100m and 300m hurdles), Jaxon Worthen (110m and 300m hurdles), Karson Nielson (110m hurdles), Josh Thalman (400m dash), Daunte Atkinson (200m dash) and Jake Garver (300m hurdles) all made the finals in those events. Jake’s time of 40.13 was the #2 all-time mark.

Both 4x100m relay teams and the Boys medley and 4x400 relay teams made the finals. The Boys 4x100 (42.49) and medley (3:41.26) had the 2^nd-fastest qualifying times, while the 4x400 (3:25.89) had the fastest.

Saturday also got off to a great start with Suzy Robertson placing 6^th in the 100m hurdles in 15.71. Jaxon Worthen followed Suzy’s effort with a State title in the 110m hurdles running 14.96. That was redemption for his disappointment last year in the same race. Winning madesa him the 5^th Titan to win an individual State Championship. Karson Nielson ran a great race to place 6^th in the race in 15.72.

While this was going on, Mason Woodward was involved in a great javelin competition. He took the lead on his final throw, a great toss of 177'05". However, the defending champion and state record holder threw 17" further on his last throw to move Mason to 2^nd. A great effort nonetheless. Brock Anderson made finals in the javelin and just finished out of scoring in 9^th place. Not bad for his first year throwing the spear. Things kept going well for the Lady Titans as Logan Harker, Sam Segura, Ali Morris and Kenzie Fleming ran 51.29, their fastest time of the year, to finish 9^th in the 4x100m relay. And in a huge effort, Jaycie Smith cleared 5'01 to place 5^th in the high jump. That tied her school record.

Unfortunately, now things took a turn for the worse. Just after taking the baton in the 4x100m relay, Jake Garver suffered a severe hamstring pull. The hopes of a relay title were laying on the track. It was hard for the old coach to watch this senior who has been such a huge part of Titan athletics for three years, finish his career by being carried off the track by his TEAMmates. Not only has Jake been a big part of the Track success, but he also was a big reason Football made it to the State Championship game and is also the only Titan to ever place all three years at State in Wrestling. This kind of took the wind out of everyone’s sails for a while.

After the setback in the relay, things got going strong again with Josh Thalman picking up a 6^th place medal in the 400m dash running 50.62. Jace Skidmore finished his Titan career just missing finals in the long jump. In perhaps the top performance of the meet for the Titans, Suzy Robertson ran 45.56 to place 3^rd in the 300m hurdles. This was a PR by 1.2 seconds and a School Record. She ran aggressively from the gun to the finish line and looked more determined than I’ve ever seen her. Huge race by Suzy. Jaxon Worthen followed up his title in the 110's with a 3^rd place finish in the 300m hurdles. While he ran a very good 39.98, I think he was missing his little buddy who should have been in the race.

Landon Greenhalgh just missed his PR in the 800m run (1:57.96) to finish (you guessed it), 9^th. The medley relay of Brennan O’Neil, Gus Salazar, Will Haddick and Parker Greenhalgh ran tough to place 5^th in 3:42.34. Daunte Atkinson had surprised some great sprinters by making the final of the 200m dash, then continued shocking them by running 22.27 to place 7^th in the finals. That is the #2 all-time mark at Syracuse. Caden Call threw a PR 47'06 on his last effort in the shot put to finish (here we go again) 9^th. A great throw to end the season.

There was more drama in the final event of the meet. Landon, Will, and Josh got the baton around the track to Daunte in 6^th place in the 4x400m relay. Daunte took off like he was possessed, passing Weber and getting primed to take down Alta. However, his hamstring, which had been bothering him after the 200, cramped up big-time about 50 meters from the finish. In spite of suffering from severe "booty lock" and near exhaustion, he showed some incredible guts and determination, making it to the finish line where he collapsed on the track. He had still run a 50.3 anchor leg. Perhaps this event was symbolic of the meet: supreme effort, but just a little short of the hoped for results. As coaches, we will take the effort any day and let the results fall where they may. There was not a single event where we felt an athlete gave less than their best. And that’s a great feeling. Congratulations to all Titans who competed at State and supported the TEAM!!

SOPHOMORE / JV REGION

Both Boys and Girls finished 2^nd behind Davis Tuesday. Depth was the key to the finish as the only individual victories came from Mason Leishman, Mallory Ashby and Brenn Flint. Mason won the high jump, (6'00, #4 all-time) and Mallory the pole vault (8'06). Brenn won the shot put (36'03), discus (106'10) and javelin (80'04). The 4x400 consisting of the Andreasen’s, Loren Burrell and Colton Yardley won the final event of the meet. Good job sophs.

THANKS FOR THE GREAT SUPPORT
Thanks to everyone that helped make the Region Championships a big success. Stacey Wilcox and too many parents to list helped us earn some much needed money by running the concession stand. The coaches all did a great job in officiating and making sure the meet was run properly. Coach Berrong did his usual great job announcing- he was busier than a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest keeping the meet moving and getting the awards presented. Coaches Wilcox, Jones, Murray, Knight and Busby sacrificed their coaching duties during the competition to ensure the integrity of the meet. They had prepared the TEAM well throughout the season and the Titans were ready to compete. Thanks to all of the Titans who helped out as officials, gate crew, etc.. And thanks to the Titans who competed hard. There were great performances in all aspects of the meet.

There were many more incredible performances that didn’t result in scoring points, but did provide inspiration for their TEAMmates and resulted in a sense of satisfaction that the 100's hours of hard work and dedication to the program was worth it.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Selected as the Athletes of the Week were Jessica Howes, Jaycie Smith, Adriana McFarland, Cameron Dower, Ashton Bigelow, Brennan O’Neil, Austin Evans, and Spencer Woodhall.

And Spencer had a 10' PR in the discus to narrowly miss qualifying for State. There are several more who deserve Athlete of the Week recognition for their great help and support not only for the week, but for the entire season.

Titan Track Bulletin - May 5, 2013

HUGE WEEK AHEAD
For many Titans, this is the week you have been pointing to for a long time- maybe since the end of the season last year. For seniors, it will be the last time to compete on your home track. While many of you will not be taking home medals or leaving with the excitement of competing at State, you will be taking something far more important: some great memories of the 100's of hours of preparation and competition, and the satisfaction of knowing you have learned numerous life-lessons that will help make you a success in many facets of your life.
As the host school for Region, we will be asking all of you to not only compete to the best of your ability, but also be ready to help ensure the success of the meet.

LAYTON DUAL

This was a good tuneup in preparation for the Region Championships. The Girls won 85-47 and the Boys came out on top 88-44. The Girls were led by Brenn Flint and Suzy Robertson who each had two first place finishes and one second. The Boys won 13 of the 17 events to easily secure the win.
BYU INVITATIONALWhile the TEAM did not go to BYU, two of our athletes went to compete in events that are not contested in most other meets. Ali Morris cleared 9'06 to place 3^rd in the pole vault and Nick Merriman scored 5115 points to place 7^th in the decathlon. He had a great two-days in the 10-event test of overall athletic ability setting big PR’s in the pole vault (11'10.50) and javelin (140'05).

HERRIMAN TWILIGHT INVITATIONAL
This was a great meet for the Titans. As coaches, we didn’t know what to expect as this was the first time the meet had been contested and the first time we had not gone to BYU. It turned out to be a great alternative to spending two long days in Provo. I think we will be much better prepared for Region. The meet saw some great performances, especially by Coach Knight’s and Coach Murray’s throwers. Caden Call had a 3' PR (47'04.50) and Brenn Flint 2 ½' PR (36'08) to both qualify for State in the shot put. Braiden Tovey and Kavika Fonua also had 2' PR’s in the shot. Brock Anderson PR’ed by 10' (159'02) to qualify for State in the javelin. In other great performances, Suzy Robertson qualified for State in winning the 100m hurdles (15.63) and also won the 300m hurdles (48.00). Landon Greenhalgh ran 4:23.81 to qualify for State in finishing 2^nd in the 1600m run. Josh Thalman won the 400m dash in 50.20 to also reach the State qualifying standard. Jake Garver qualified for State as he ran 40.72 to finish 3^rd in the 300m hurdles. Mason Woodward threw the jav 173'03 to win the event. Jaxon Worthen won both hurdles in 14.92 and 40.09. He has already qualified in both events. And in the final event of the evening, Landon, Josh, Will Haddick and Daunte Atkinson ran 3:27.91 to win the 4x400m relay and qualify for State. Going into the relay, Herriman had a 1 ½ point lead over us, but the win secured the 1^st place trophy for the Titans by a scored of 173.5 to 169!! Lone Peak was 3^rd with 98 points. Lone Peak won the Girls title with 122.5 points while the Lady Titans were 4^th with 104. That was just 10 points out of 2^nd place. The results don’t include the 3200m run, so I’m pretty sure that would move the Girls up to 3^rd place. To show the power of the TEAM, we scored in 30 of the 34 events. And in three of those events we didn’t score in, we didn’t have athletes compete.
Those scoring points were:
Suzy Robertson- 1^st 100m hurdles (15.68, #2 all-time), 1^st 300m hurdles (48.00);Sharlie Dimick- 1^st 800m run (2:23.34, #2 all-time);Ali Morris- 1^st pole vault (10'00, School Record), 3^rd long jump (15'09.25);Mallory Ashby- 2^nd pole vault (8'06, #3 all-time), 6^th 400m dash ();Brenn Flint- 3^rd discus (107'07), 2^nd shot put (36'08, #3 all-time)Erin Kibler- 3^rd 1600m run (5:40.59), ?? 3200m run;Isabella Williams- 2^nd 3200m run (??); Maddy Neyts- 7^th 1600m run (5:57.78!);Adriana McFarland- 7^th 800m run (2:39.51);Jaycie Smith- 3^rd high jump (5'00);Logan Harker, Sam Segura, Alyssa Perry, Mickenzie Fleming- 4^th 4x100m relay (52.37);Logan, Sam, Lindsey Bailey, Maddy Neyts- 4^th medley relay (4:49.17);Sharlie, Logan, Sam, and Lindsey- 3^rd 4x400m relay (4:17.78).

REGION ONE CHAMPIONSHIPS
We host the Region One Championships Wednesday and Thursday. EVERYONE will be involved as a competitor or official- many as both. It is mandatory that you are at the Monday and Tuesday workouts and that your schedule is planned so you can be at the meet both days. It is also mandatory that you stay until the meet is over each day.
Monday night is the coaches Seeding Meeting where final entries for the meet will be determined. I’ve attached a schedule for the meet- there may be some minor changes made at the Seeding Meeting, but I doubt it.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Selected as the Athletes of the Week were Ali Morris, Ashley Rodriguez, Brock Anderson, Kavika Fonua and Will Haddick.  Ali keeps moving her school record in the pole vault higher. Ashley has just worked hard every day for three years and never gets the credit she deserves. She makes the TEAM better. Following a disappointing end to his high school football career, Brock has rebounded nicely and is going to leave SHS with some great Track and Field memories. Kavika keeps demonstrating that he can do about any event (as long as it’s shorter than 400m) in the sport. And Will’s patience and cross training is now paying off as he PR’ed in the pole vault and also ran his fastest split 4x400m relay.   
UPCOMING SCHEDULE
May 8/9 - Region Championships at SHS - 3:30
May 14 - Soph/JV Region at Davis High
May 17/18 - State Championships at BYU

Besides the wins, there were dozens of PR’s and improvements on the Region Rankings list.

DAVIS INVITATIONAL
This meet annually produces many of the top performances in the state with most of the top athletes competing. With over 50 schools there, and near perfect weather, this year was no different. The meet uses a different format with the top performers competing in the afternoon. The morning (Open) session also consists of the state’s top athletes. The Titans had some great performances as shown by three school records being set.

Placers in the Open Session included:
Weston Flynn- 3^rd in the javelin, 151'06;
Brock Anderson- 4^th in the javelin, 148'11;

The Invited Session saw some great performances and four school records. Ali Morris (9'06) and Mallory Ashby (8'06) placed 3^rd and 5^th in the pole vault. Ali’s mark was a school record and Mallory’s the #3 mark. Brenn Flint’s throw of 109'06 was 3^rd in the discus, a state qualifying mark and #2 on the all-time list.
Jaxon Worthen got things started for the Boys by winning the 110m hurdles in 14.62, a school record and the #3 mark in Utah (#1 in 5A) this season. Kavika Fonua followed by running 11.08 to place 6^th in the 100m dash. That is the #2 mark in Titan history and #4 in 5A. Kavika, Jake Garver, Gus Salazar and Daunte Atkinson ran 42.33 to place 3^rd in the 4x100m relay. It was a school record by nearly .8 seconds. It was possibly the best 4x100 race ever run in Utah with the top five places also the five fastest times run in Utah this year. Worthen (39.63) and Garver 41.49) finished 3^rd and 6^th in the 300m hurdles. And Mason Woodward capped off the record assault by throwing 178'02 to finish 3^rd in the javelin. That is the #2 5A mark in Utah. It was an incredible day for the Titans.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Selected this week were Lauren Garrett, Sam Segura, Gus Salazar, Cameron Dower and Ashton Bigelow. Lauren finished up a busy day at Davis with a big PR split in the 4x800m relay. Sam does a great job EVERYDAY- a hard worker, good leader and ready to jump in wherever needed. Gus had big PR’s in the 100 and ran a great leg in the record-setting 4x100m relay. Cameron is one of the top Titans when it comes to doing everything possible to become a better athlete and help the TEAM. And Ashton had a good PR in the 300m hurdles and jumped in at the last second to run a good anchor on the 4x100m relay in the morning session at Davis.

HERRIMAN TWILIGHT INVITATIONAL
The bus will leave at 1:30 Saturday and the meet begins at 4:00. It is important that you let me know if you can’t compete at the meet. There are some restrictions for entries that I’ll go over Monday, but we will be able to enter about three-times the number of athletes than if we were going to BYU. Much of this meet will be run under the lights. It should be a fun meet and help us prepared for Region and State.

Titan Track Bulletin - April 21, 2013

CONGRATS TO OUR COACHES
Coaches Busby  and Wilcox ran tough at the Boston Marathon. Of course their performances will take a back seat to the other events surrounding the classic event. Coach Wilcox finished in 3:18. Coach Busby- well, she didn’t finish as the bombs exploded when she was just .3 miles from the finish. It’s great that they and their "support staff" emerged safe and sound.

MEET UPDATES
The same Titans are usually featured in the meet updates. This week the highlights will focus on those who may not be at the top of the list. In summarizing the TEAM results, in our dual meet with Weber, the Boys won by a score of 79-51 while the Girls fell to the Warriors 45-76.
At the Wildcat Invitational at Woods Cross, the Boys finished 3^rd and the Girls 6^th, just 7 points out of 3^rd. Among the noteworthy performances, Sharlie Dimick (5:15.26) and Isabella Williams (5:17.26) qualified for State in the 1600 running the #2 and #3 times ever in Titan history. The only other Lady Titan to ever qualify in that event was Hannah Williams. The medley relay of Gus Salazar, Jace Skidmore, Will Haddick and Landon Greenhalgh also qualified for State in placing first. All results for the Wildcat Invitational can be found at: http://results.runnercard.com/Results/results.jsp?meetid=4723

BIG IMPROVEMENTS
There are many huge improvements and efforts that usually don’t score points, but nevertheless play a huge role in helping us become a better TEAM. I decided to focus on some of these athletes this week. Madie Elwood’s 1600m time has dropped from 7:45 to 6:30 in just one month. Renee Peterson has had an improvement of 25-seconds in the same event. Aubrie and Becca Jacobsen, Rachel Markham, Kayla Berryman and Jessica Howes have also been making big improvements in the distance events. Shanna Thomas keeps moving up the lists in all three throwing events. Maranda Kirkman and Kelli Lowry have improved over 15' in the discus since the early meets.
In some impressive improvements for the Boys, Brady Cook, Tyler Fessler, Brayden Burrell, Brandon Read and Lane Dunstan have made huge improvements in the distance events. Trace Hicken, Stephan Olivas, Alex Harris, Aamon Riley and Danielson Alofipo continue to PR on a consistent basis in the throwing events. In the sprints, Trevor Olsen, Loren Burrell, Carrick White and Trent Hughes are dropping their PR’s each meet.
All of these Titans work hard and don’t get much publicity for their efforts. There are many others not mentioned. We are a better TEAM because of their commitment.

STRONG IS THE NEW BEAUTIFUL RACE
Coach Busby put together a very successful race as part of her Miss Utah platform. Parker Greenhalgh won the 5k race in 17:56. He was followed by closely by Carson and Ryan Andreason. Erin Kibler won the Women’s race in 22:07. Rachel Markham and Bella Williams were the next top finishers. Spencer Woodhall won the Clydesdale division. Thanks from Haley to all who ran and helped at the race. Over $800 was raised for the Children’s Miracle Network.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Selected this week were Sharlie Dimick and Isabella Williams for their State Qualifying marks in the 1600m run, as well as their quality relay splits. Also selected were Parker Greenhalgh and Tom Hill (big PR’s in the 1600 and 3200m runs) Caden Call (#9 all-time mark in the shot put) and Karson Nielson (huge PR in the 300m hurdles).

FREMONT DUAL
You will be excused at 1:20 and the bus will leave at 1:30. You only have two more chances to move up in the Region Rankings. Use Wednesday to try an event or two that may be easier to get ranked high enough to get into the Region Championships.

Titan Track Bulletin - March 31, 2013

GREAT WEEK FOR TITAN TRACK
This was a great week for Titan Track and Field. There were some great performances on the track as well as some great efforts put in by many members of the TEAM that indicate we are continuing to improve as a program. The Davis District Championships was a huge success. Coaches and athletes expressed how impressed they were at how well the meet was run. This was due to the great support of athletes, coaches, officials, sponsors, etc.. The great week continued with some outstanding performances at the UVU Invitational. This was a real test of endurance.

DAVIS DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Titan boys finished 2^nd to Davis and the Lady Titans 5^th out of the eight-team championships. In combined boys and girls team scoring, the Titans finished 2^nd.
Suzy Robertson showed dramatic improvement as she ran 47.71 in the 300m hurdles to finish 2^nd. That is the #3 all-time mark at SHS. She also finished 4^th in the high jump at 4'11. Brenn Flint continued to shine as she finished 3^rd in both the shot put (34'01, #3 all-time) and discus (109'04, #2 all-time). Sharlie Dimick (5:22.77) and Bella Williams (5:23.36) placed 3^rd and 5^th in the1600m run. Those were the #2 and #3 all-time marks. Erin Kibler ran 12:30.98 to place 3^rd in the 3200m run. Jaxon Worthen had another big meet as he placed 3^rd in the 110m hurdles (15.25), 4^th in the high jump (6'01) and 1^st in the 300m hurdles in a school record time of 39.51. Kavika Founa’s 11.13 was good enough to place 6^th in the 100m dash. In perhaps the most exciting race of the meet, Landon Greenhalgh made up some big ground over the final 200 meters to with the 800m run in 1:58.88. He also finished 4^th in the 3200m run. Jake Garver is getting into track shape as shown by his 8^th place finish in the 100m dash (11.33) and 4^th place finish in the 300m hurdles (42.80). Josh Thalman ran a great race in the 400m dash to place 4^th in 51.02. Nick Merriman had a great meet placing 2^nd in the discus (141'01, #4 all-time) and 4^th in the pole vault clearing 11'00. Spencer Woodhall threw 121'08 to place 6^th in the discus. Jace Skidmore leaped 20'10 to finish 4^th in the long jump. Mason Woodward (152'07) and Brock Anderson (146'06) placed 5^th and 6^th in the javelin. Kavika and Caden Call finished 4^th and 5^th in the shot put, each throwing 43'05. It was a good showing by the Titans with dozens of PR’s.

UVU INVITATIONAL
What a long, but satisfying, day. Congratulations to all who endured the 15-hour round trip marathon. From a coaches aspect, it was well worth it. There were over 60 schools at the meet and the Boys finished 6^th (only 5 points out of 3^rd) and Girls 34^th. In combined scoring, the Titans finished 13^th.
In the highlight performance, the Boys won the 4x100m relay in a time of 43.11. That is not only a school record, but also the fastest time run in Utah this year. Kavika Fonua, Jace Skidmore, Brennan O’Neil and Jake Garver had near perfect handoffs to get the stick around in record fashion. Kavika also ran a strong 100m dash finishing 3^rd in 11.18. Jaxon Worthen scored in three events placing 7^th in the 110m hurdles (15.64), 8^th in the high jump (6'02) and 2^nd in the 300m hurdles in a school record time of 39.42. Nicholas Merriman cleared 11'06 to finish 6^th in the pole vault. Josh Thalman’s 51.02 was good enough for 8^th in the 400m dash. Landon Greenhalgh ran 2:02.19 to place 8^th in the 800m run to round out the scoring for the Boys.
On the Girls side, Becca Jacobsen cleared 6'00 to place 4^th in the pole vault. Brenn Flint’s 32'01 was good enough for an 8^th place finish. There were several other performances that just missed scoring. With over 60 schools competing, it was much more difficult to place in this meet than it will be at the State Championships.

LAYTON/NORTHRIDGE TRI-MEET

The boys scored 91 points to easily outdistance Northridge (46) and Layton (41). The Lady Titans finished 2^nd with 46 points. Northridge won with 70 and Layton trailed scoring 38 points.

Suzy Robertson also had a good meet winning the 300m hurdles (51.52) and placing 2^nd in the 100m hurdles (17.29). Sharlie Dimick was our other individual event winner as she captured the 1600m run in 5:28.1.

For the boys, Jaxon Worthen won both hurdles running 15.96 in the 110's and 42.23 in the 300's. Nick Merriman moved into the #5 all-time spot in winning the pole vault with an 11'00 clearance. Braiden Tovey’s 45'00 throw won the shot put. Kavika Fonua captured the 100m dash in 11.70 and Daunte Atkinson picked up a win in the 400m dash in 52.52. That was the first time he had run the open 400. Will Kirshner battled down the stretch to win the 800m run in 2:14.8. Landon Greenhalgh’s 4:41.5 captured the 1600m run.

There were some very big PR’s set in the meet, but there is still a long ways to go if we are to reach some individual and TEAM goals by the end of the season. WE CAN (WILL) GET MUCH BETTER. But it will only happen if everyone is committed to the program and decides to pursue excellence with a little more intensity.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as Athletes of the Week were Brenn Flint (two great marks in the throws) and Cody Kelley. Cody just does what he’s supposed to do EVERYDAY and keeps setting PR’s. Coincidence? I think not.

DAVIS DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Titans host the eight Davis County high schools Tuesday and Wednesday. There will be some great competition both days. Davis High is the obvious favorite to win State in 5A boys and girls this year and Woods Cross the favorite in 4A boys. Every event has a potential state champion in the field. It will be a great meet- with your help!!

THANKS to everyone who secured sponsors for the meet. It will really help our program.

UVU INVITATIONAL
Most of the states top programs will be competing at UVU Saturday. This will be another good test for the Titans. We are limited to 30 entries per gender for this meet and the entry deadline is Tuesday. Therefore, we will need to know Monday who is going to be available to compete. We don’t want to waste an entry on someone who won’t be there. Check with parents to see what plans you may have.

SPRING BREAK
YES, we will workout during spring break. Times and workouts will be handed out at the end of the week.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE
Mar 26/27 - Davis District Championships @ SHS
Mar 30 - UVU Invitational at UVU - 8:00 am

DISCIPLINE
A little thought from Bobby Knight, a Hall of Fame Basketball coach.

"It has always been my thought that the most important single ingredient to success in athletics or life is discipline. I have many times felt this word is the most ill-defined in all of our language. My definition of the word is as follows:
1. Do what has to be done;
2. When it has to be done;
3. As well as it can be done; and
4. Do it that way all the time."

Very good advice.

Titan Track Bulletin - March 17, 2013

ROY/COPPER HILLS TRI
Great weather helped make for some very good performances to start the 2013 season. Copper Hills won the girls portion of the meet with 80 points. The Lady Titans finished with 53 and Roy trailed with 25. The boys scored 108 points to easily outdistance Copper Hills (58) and Roy (12).
Suzy Robertson had a great outdoor debut as she won the 100m hurdles (17.70), placed 2^nd in the high jump (4'10) and also 2^nd in the 200m dash (28.56). Sharlie Dimick (5:29.5), Isabella Williams (5:32.1), and Erin Kibler (5:42.1) swept the top three spots in the 1600m run. Alex Harbeck won the javelin throwing 77'00. Brenn Flint had a good first meet placing 2^nd in the discus (86'11) and picking up a 4^th place finish in the shot put (28'09). Alyssa Perry, Sam Segura, Mallory Ashby and Suzy won the 4x100m relay in 54.52 and Sharlie, Sam, Mallory and Alyssa won the 4x400m relay in 4:41.3.Jaxon Worthen led the boys as he won the 110m hurdles (15.87), 300m hurdles (42.51) and high jump (6'00). Duante Atkinson had a great debut in a Titan uniform as he won the 100m dash (11.38, #4 all-time) and placing 3^rd in the 200m dash (24.34). He also ran legs on the winning 4x100 and 4x400m relays. Braiden Tovey (44'02), Caden Call (42'02), Spencer Woodhall (39'03) and Dallas Beesaw (39'01) swept the shot put. Nicholas Merriman (132'03), Woodhall (107'00), Tovey (103'04) and Jace Purser (100'05) swept the discus. Mason Woodward placed 2^nd in the javelin throwing 145'02. Cameron Dower picked up a win in the 400m dash running 56.42 and Landon Greenhalgh (2:02.9) and Cody Kelley (2:06.2) finished 1-2 in the 800m run. Parker Greenhalgh placed 2^nd in the 1600m run in 4:54.7. Jace Skidmore was busy placing 2^nd in the long jump (19'04) and 4^th in the 100m dash (11.88). Brennan O’Neil’s 24.09 was good enough for 2^nd in the 200m dash. Kavika Founa picked up a 2^nd place in the 100m dash in 11.43. Kavika, Jace, Brennan and Daunte won the 4x100m relay in a very fast 44.15. In the most exciting race of the day, Daunte, Trevor Olsen, Hudson Gooch and Josh Thalman won the 4x400m relay in 3:42.1. They narrowly defeated the Titan "B" team of Dower, Skidmore, Bigelow and Landon Greenhalgh by less than a second. Thalman fought off several challenges by Greenhalgh as they circled the track. It was a good start to the season. It showed that we have the potential to be very good TEAMS. But it also showed that we have a lot of hard work ahead of us if that is the end result.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as the first Athletes of the Week were Suzy Robertson, Duante Atkinson and Nicholas Merriman.

DAVIS DISTRICT SPONSORSHIPS
Reminder of the sponsorships for the Davis District Championships. Please be working on this so we can avoid selling cookie dough or pizzas.

ALUMNI ACTION
Brandon Yardley had an incredible race in San Diego Saturday. He placed 4^th in the 800m run in 1:52.74, just missing the Junior National qualifying mark by .24. Jaxon Hansen and Brandon also ran on UVU’s 4x400m relay that finished in 3:20.99. Mayra Franco ran a very fast 24.94 in the 200m dash as the same meet. In "sort-of" alumni news, Coach Wilcox ran 38:57 at the Spectrum 10k to finish 2^nd in his age group and 22^nd out of 790 runners. Way to represent!!
