UTAH DISTANCE CHALLENGE 27 Titans ran the Utah Distance Challenge at the Olympic Ice Oval. 22 had seasonal indoor best times. Not a bad way to spend a Friday evening.
Landon Greenhalgh ran a great 1600m race. His 4:29.70 is the #2 mark on the Titan indoor all-time list. It was good to see his twin, Parker, healthy enough to get in a race. He ran a very good 4:52.43. Maddy Neyts had a great race to break the 6:00 barrier with her 5:59.95. She was our top Lady Titan finisher. In another top performance, Tyler Fessler ran the race twice running 5:31.34 in heat #7, then came back to turn in a 5:48.51 about 10 minutes later. He was bound and determined to get his 3200 meters run.
Cameron Dower was our top finisher in the 400m dash with his 54.10 a seasonal best mark. Colton Yardley (56.05) and Loren Burrell (58.48) also had their best times of the indoor season. Sam Segura had our top girls time in the 400 turning in a 1:08.31.
Mallory Ashby 2:37.77) and Adriana McFarland (2:38.49) had their top indoor times. They both ran very aggressive races from the gun to the finish.

SIMPLOT GAMES Reminder that we will meet in Room 2118 Tuesday after school. Make sure you have your waiver and money at that time. Rides, rooming assignments and final trip information will be handed out at that time.
ALUMNI UPDATE Lindsey McFarland had a great race running 2:15.87 in the 800m at Bozeman,MT. This was a four-second improvement from her previous indoor best mark. Jake Rossmango had his best indoor mile time this season turning in a time of 4:24.76 at the Texas A&M Invitational. At the Idaho State Open, Brandon Yardley (1:59.47) and Jaxon Hansen (2:03.82) competed in the 800m run. Jaxon is coming off an injury hoping to get healthy by conference in two weeks. Our honorary alum, Jared Ward, ran a 13:41.97 for the 5000m at the Husky Invitational in Washington. That was a BYU indoor school record and has him ranked #8 in the nation. The top 16 qualify for the NCAA Indoor Championships in Arkansas.
OUTDOOR SCHEDULE Depending on the weather, we will begin Outdoor Track either February 25th or March 4th. The Outdoor Meeting will be February 21st- possibly the 28th. Stay tuned.
TITAN DISCOUNT NIGHT AT STRIDERS Coach Wilcox has arranged for a special discount night at Striders February 28th. The owners will have the store open late for Titans to stop in and get some special discounts on shoes and running apparel. More information will be coming.
PICTURES Reminder of Kevin Hansen’s site with indoor pictures. Make sure you thank Kevin when you see him. My rough estimate is that he has driven about 300 miles to spend over 30 hours taking pictures- and this is just for our indoor meets this year. I know he likes Track and Field, BUT, it is just amazing that he would give so much of his time and money for the TEAM. THANKS, Kevin!!!
