SIMLOT GAMES As usual, the Simplot Games was the highlight of the indoor season. Several events were won with nation-leading marks. It was a great meet to watch and a great meet to participate in with many Titans setting their own personal records.
Jaxon Worthen led the way as he made finals in both the high jump and 60m hurdles. He set Titan Indoor Records in both events clearing 6'01" and twice running 8.52. He was one of only three Utahn’s to make the finals in those events. Cody Kelley had a big meet running 10:16.70 in the 3200 meters to move into the #3 spot on the Titan All-Time list. He also had a big PR of 2:10.84 in the 800m run.
Erin Kibler had the top performance for the girls. She ran 5:35.00 Thursday night to make the finals of the 1600m run, then came back Saturday to run 5:30.01, the #2 mark on the Titan All-Time list. She also ran a very strong 2:32.9 800 split in the medley relay.
While there were no other marks making the All-Time list, there were several PR’s established. But the best performance of the meet was turned in by the entire TEAM for the duration of the meet. Everyone competed hard and also met the standards set by the coaches. Thanks to everyone for making it such a great trip.
SIMPLOT LUNCH For those who went to Simplot, plan on "dining" in my room Friday. I will get some pizzas and we will watch video and pictures from the meet. Sign up in my room if you plan on attending so I will know how many pizzas to buy.
ALUMNI UPDATE Jaxon Hansen and Brandon Yardley finished 2nd and 3rd in the 800m run at the Weber State Invitational Saturday. They turned in their fastest indoor times of the season running 1:56.97 and 1:57.28.
OUTDOOR TRACK MEETINGS We will hold two meetings for Outdoor Track this year. Both meetings will be at 2:30 in the Blue Room. The Boys will meet Thursday and the Girls will meet Friday. Make sure you are there and help spread the word. The workouts the following week (Feb 25th - Mar 2nd) will be dependent on the weather.
WORKOUTS THIS WEEK Nothing is scheduled. Use the week to get your prom shopping done, doctors appointments taken care of, make-up tests taken, etc., so you don’t have to miss practices the next week. If you have injuries, take the week off to let them heal.
