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.

Weston Flynn- 3^rd in the javelin, 151'06;

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.

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.

LAYTON DUAL
This meet is at our place Wednesday. It will be the last chance for many of you to move up in the Region Rankings. More info Monday.

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.

ALUMNI ACTION
Lindsey McFarland had a great meet at BYU running a 2:13.30 PR in the 800m run. This moves her into the #9 spot in the Big Sky. In a performance I missed last week, Austin Costley ran 4:04.63 in the 1500m run at USU. That converts to about 4:22 for the mile.
