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 3rd in the pole vault and Nick Merriman scored 5115 points to place 7th 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 2nd 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 3rd 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 1st place trophy for the Titans by a scored of 173.5 to 169!! Lone Peak was 3rd with 98 points. Lone Peak won the Girls title with 122.5 points while the Lady Titans were 4th with 104. That was just 10 points out of 2nd place. The results don’t include the 3200m run, so I’m pretty sure that would move the Girls up to 3rd 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- 1st 100m hurdles (15.68, #2 all-time), 1st 300m hurdles (48.00);Sharlie Dimick- 1st 800m run (2:23.34, #2 all-time);Ali Morris- 1st pole vault (10'00, School Record), 3rd long jump (15'09.25);Mallory Ashby- 2nd pole vault (8'06, #3 all-time), 6th 400m dash ();Brenn Flint- 3rd discus (107'07), 2nd shot put (36'08, #3 all-time)Erin Kibler- 3rd 1600m run (5:40.59), ?? 3200m run;Isabella Williams- 2nd 3200m run (??); Maddy Neyts- 7th 1600m run (5:57.78!);Adriana McFarland- 7th 800m run (2:39.51);Jaycie Smith- 3rd high jump (5'00);Logan Harker, Sam Segura, Alyssa Perry, Mickenzie Fleming- 4th 4x100m relay (52.37);Logan, Sam, Lindsey Bailey, Maddy Neyts- 4th medley relay (4:49.17);Sharlie, Logan, Sam, and Lindsey- 3rd 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
