Titan Indoor Track Update Feb 15, 2015

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
"Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day-in and day-out." - Robert Collier
Don't neglect the "little" things.

DISTANCE CHALLENGE
Two indoor records fell, one addition to the all-time list was added, and several PR’s established at the Olympic Oval Friday. It was another good performance by the Titans.
As has been the case this year, the Lady Titans continued shattering indoor records. Of the 15 individual events contested indoors, the Girls have set new records in 10 of them. And a couple more are likely to fall at Simplot. Kayla Rees ran a great 400m dash, especially considering she is recovering from mono. Her time of 58.54 was good enough for 2^nd place and a new record.  The mark also makes the Utah All-Time Indoor list.  Isabella Williams won the 3200m run in 11:30.95, also a school indoor record.  She has now replaced her sister, Hannah, as the record-holder in two events.  Hannah still holds the 1600m run record.  Abbey Greenhalgh (5:56.12) and Renee Peterson (5:59.42) dipped under the six-minute barrier for the first time in the 1600m run. Sydney Hansen and Julie Farrell also had PR’s. Arlyne Arteaga and Amber Mecham had big indoor PR’s in the 400m dash.
Colten Yardley had the top performance for the Boys. His 51.00 in the 400m dash was good enough for 4^th place and the #2 spot on our indoor list. He trails only his brother, Tyrell, in the event. Loren Burrell (52.99) and Treston Cullimore (54.41) also had a big indoor PR’s. Tyler Fessler had a big improvement running 4:50.52 in the 1600m run. He then came back a little later to run 5:05 in the same event. Crazy kid. Zack Burrell had a couple PR’s in the 800 and 3200m runs. And Ashton Durbin, Coby Jacob and Colby Robb had PR’s in the 800m run.

SIMPLOT GAMES
 Reminder that the meeting for everyone going to Simplot will be held after school Tuesday. Bring your signed waivers as well as the money. The final schedule, ride and rooming assignments, etc., will be handed out at that time.

OUTDOOR TRACK MEETING
The Girls meeting for Outdoor will be held Tuesday, Feb 24^th. The Boys will be Wednesday, Feb 25^th. Both meetings will be held in the "Blue Room" and will start at 2:30. Look for the fliers throughout the school. If you bring a list of names of all of the people in the fliers to the meeting, your name will be put in a drawing for $25. Help spread the word about the meeting. It would be great to have the biggest TEAM in Titan history this year.

ALUMNI ACTION
Mayra Franco continues running well and ran 7.77 in the 60m dash and 25.53 in the 200m dash at the New Mexico Invitational.  That was the only result I could find.
