Titan Track Bulletin - March 29, 2015

DAVIS DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS
First of all: Thanks to everyone who helped make the meet a success. We had great success getting sponsors for almost all events. This will really help our program. Also thanks to all who helped in the overall administration of the meet. It ran smooth.
Now to the actual performances. In the team title races, the Titans finished 2^nd to Davis, far ahead of the 3^rd place teams. There were some amazing individual highlights that took place over the two days. Both MVP Awards (voted on by the coaches) were handed out to Titans. Kayla Rees won the ladies award with her three victories in the 100m, (12.41, #2 all-time), 200m (26.02) and 400m dashes (57.78, meet record) as well as anchoring the 3^rd place 4x400m relay. Daunte Atkinson won the men’s award as he won the 200m (22.54) and 400m dashes (49.79) and placed 3^rd in the 100m dash (12.23). He finished off the meet by running a 49.0 anchor leg leading the 4x400m relay (3:25.65) to victory. All marks are state qualifiers. Cidnee Davies captured one of the two Outstanding Performance Awards as she set meet records in winning the 100m hurdles (15.09, 14.80w in the trials) and long jump (17'09.50, also a school record).
Brenn Flint had a good meet winning the shot put (38'02, #2 all-time) and discus (110'00). Both are state qualifying marks. Isabella Williams had two great races placing 2^nd and qualifying for state in both the 1600m (5:03.48) and 800m runs (2:19.04). Other state qualifying marks were achieved by Jentry Skidmore (16'10.50) and Anne Petersen (16'08.50, #3 all-time) in the long jump, Camilla Moses (9'02, #3 all-time) and Cidnee Davies (8'02) in the pole vault, Dylan Brower (6'04, school record) in the high jump, Kayden White (149'02, #6 all-time) in the discus and Mason Leishman (164'10, #3 all-time) in the javelin.

COPPER HILLS INVITATIONAL
With many out of town (I hate Spring Break!!!), a few Titans made the trip to Copper Hills to compete in this 20-team invitational. There were some great efforts and big PR’s that were capped off with both teams finishing 2^nd, the Girls just 2 ½ points out of first.
Cidnee Davies continued to perform well as she won the 100m hurdles (15.45 into a big headwind) and finished 2^nd in the 300m hurdles (47.28, #4 all-time) and long jump (17'09). Anne Petersen also had a big meet placing 3^rd in the long jump (16'08) and 300m hurdles (47.39, #5 all-time) and 4^th in the 100m hurdles (16.82). Camilla Moses won the pole vault clearing 9'08. That is the #3 all-time mark at Syracuse and also the #3 mark in Utah this season. Also picking up points for the Lady Titans were: Arlyne Arteaga- 8^th 200m dash (27.89, #10 all-time); Taya Tobler- 4^th 800m run (2:30.75, #7 all-time); Rachel Griffin- 7^th 1600m run (5:42.17); Isabella Williams- 2^nd 3200m run (11:50.46); and Hailee Swank- 5^th pole vault (6'11).
Colten Yardley turned in the top performance for the boys winning the 110m hurdles (15.22, big headwind) and 300m hurdles (38.59). His 300 time is the #1 mark in Utah so far this season. Also scoring for the Boys were: Ammon Riley- 3^rd shot put (45'10) and 4^th discus (130'05, #10 all-time); Stephan Olivas- 4^th shot put (44'08); Carson Andreasen- 5^th 800m run (2:04.63, 24 hours after getting his wisdom teeth removed!!!); Bryant Edgerton- 3^rd 1600m run (4:38.11); Tanner Kutterer- 7^th 110m hurdles (17.80) and 8^th 300m hurdles (44.50); Dylan Brower- 2^nd high jump (6'03); Treston Cullimore- 4^th pole vault (10'11, #8 all-time); Brower, Kutterer, Edgerton and Tyler Stark picked up a 2^nd place finish in the medley relay; and Cullimore, Stark, Jake Reynolds and Ben Lantz finished 5^th in the 4x400m relay. Again, complete results can be found at:

PERSONAL RECORDS
The World Record is merely someone’s Personal Record. The nature of Track and Field is to continue to improve on a Personal Record. In the last couple weeks, there have been some impressive PR’s that may not have scored points or set a School Record. Here are a few examples of some impressive improvements since March 11^th: Kaycee Adams, javelin (75'03-95'10); Alivia Poll, 800m (3:10 - 2:58); Karissa Jacob, 800m (3:11 - 2:58); Adriana Barcinas, 800m (3:26 - 3:17); Kayla Snyder, 1600m (6:26 - 6:09); Gabby Young, 3200m (14:12 - 13:37); Renee Peterson, 3200m (14:41 - 13:30); Abbey Greenhalgh, 3200m (14:15 - 12:56); Rachel Griffin, 3200m (14:02 - 12:16); Treston Cullimore, pole vault (10'00 - 10'11); Ammon Riley, discus (116' - 130'); Tanner Kutterer, 300m hurdles (46.22 - 44.50); Will Cannon, 1600m run (5:15 - 4:59). There are many more- let’s hope they keep coming.

SPRING BREAK
We will work out at the school at 9:00 am on Tuesday and Thursday. Try to be there to get some extra help. I sent out the workouts a couple days ago- try to follow them as closely as possible.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Selected as the Athletes of the Week were Anne Petersen (great week of hurdling and jumping), Camilla Moses (big PR’s in the pole vault, ranked 3^rd in Utah), Dylan Brower (tying the school record in the high jump) and Treston Cullimore (big PR in the pole vault). Treston and Camilla should also get an award for being the last ones to leave the track each workout making sure that everything is put away. It is appreciated.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
Edwin Moses attended Moorhead University in Georgia on an academic scholarship majoring in physics and industrial engineering. On the side, he ran track for the school team, experimenting with some new techniques that allowed him to take 13 steps between hurdles. In 1976, Edwin Moses won the Olympic Gold Medal in the 400m hurdles in a World Record time of 47.63. He had run the event fewer than a dozen times. On August 26, 1977, Moses lost a 400m hurdle race. He then went 9 years, 9 months and 9 days before he lost again, a remarkable streak of 117 races. There has never been a streak like that in any sport. He credits this incredible feat to the way he approached his training.
"My concentration level blocks out everything. Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training. You can't be lackadaisical in training and concentrate in a meet."

Let's approach every workout with the right attitude.

FREMONT/VIEWMONT TRI-MEET
 School Records fell and All-Time marks were established at the tri-meet held at Viewmont Wednesday. And many more PR’s were set that show we are moving in the right direction.
In TEAM scores, the Lady Titans finished with 87 points to outscore the combined totals of Fremont (51) and Viewmont (23). The Boys won with 72 points to defeat Viewmont (54) and Fremont (32).
Kayla Rees continued her great sprinting as she won the 400m dash in a School Record time of 57.41. She also won the 200m dash in 25.61, the #2 all-time mark. Cidnee Davies tied the School Record in winning the high jump at 5'02. She also won the 100m hurdles (15.19) and 300m hurdles (49.64, #6 all-time) as well as the long jump (16'08). Brenn Flint won the shot put with the #2 all-time mark of 37'10. She also won the discus (112'06) and was 2^nd in the javelin (77'06). Isabella Williams picked up a couple wins in the 800m (2:22.99) and 1600m runs (5:20.80). Camilla Moses won the pole vault clearing 8'00, the #5 all-time mark. Others making the all-time list included Hailee Swank, pole vault (7'00, #10); Emmy Smith, high jump (5'00, #5); Maranda Kirkman, shot put (30'03, #10); Anne Petersen, 300m hurdles (50.80, #7) and 100m dash (13.53, #10); Taya Tobler, 800m run (2:32.16, #10); and Rachel Griffin, 3200m run (12:42.82, #7).

In Boys action, Dylan Brower won the high jump as he equaled the school record with a 6'04 clearance. Colten Yardley had a big meet winning the 110m hurdles (15.19), 300m hurdles (39.40) and long jump (20'05, #3 all-time). Daunte Atkinson picked up a couple wins in the 100m (11.45) and 200m dashes (22.83). Bryant Edgerton won the 3200m run in 10:37.22. Hunter Woodhall cruised to a win in the 400m dash in 52.33 and Carson Andreasen picked up a win in the 800m run with a seasonal best time of 2:03.11. Mason Leishman was the other Titan winner with his throw of 155'00 in the javelin. While not winning the event, Zach Daines had a huge 18" PR clearance of 12'00 in the pole vault. A victory in the final event, the Boys 3:24.97 winning time in 4x400m relay finished of a good meet for the Titans. That is a time usually run only at invitational or championship meets. Loren Burrell, Yardley, Woodhall and Atkinson ran great splits to win the event by 20-seconds- costing the old coach some $$$ in the process.

DAVIS DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS
Tuesday and Wednesday the Davis District Championships will be held at Syracuse. Everyone will be expected to help conduct the meet as well as compete. This is our first state qualifying meet and we hope to get as many athletes and relays qualified as possible. The competition starts at 3:00 each day. I will give further details about officiating duties, excused times, etc., at practice Monday.
THANKS to everyone that has helped out by sponsoring events. It really helps the program.

COPPER HILLS INVITATIONAL
This is another state qualifying meet. We are limited to five athletes per event. I will give more details at the workout Monday.

SPRING BREAK
We will work out over Spring Break. Workout schedules will be emailed so you can get in the workouts if you are leaving town.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Forgot to name the Athletes of the Week for our first week. The criteria for being named includes workout and meet performances, School Records and PR’s, and just generally pursuing excellence to the best of ones ability. So, the combined "Athletes of the two Weeks" are: Rachel Griffin, Kayla Rees, Cidnee Davies, Colten Yardley, Daunte Atkinson and Ammon Riley. Congrats!!

UPCOMING SCHEDULE
Mar 24/25 - Davis District Championships at SHS

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
This quote comes from Al Oerter in the article The Will to Win, The Joy of Competition" included in your Track "Bible". He is one of only two athletes to ever win four gold medals in the same event in the Olympic Games.

"I always worked to a point where I would go into a Games absolutely believing that there was nothing else I could have done to prepare myself any better-mentally, physically or emotionally. I never looked back and said, ‘If I’d only done this or hadn’t done that.’ I was always right where I wanted to be at that moment."

Work hard so you can arrive at the "moment" with the same assurance that you have done everything possible to perform to the best of your ability.

TRACK "BIBLE"
If you didn’t pick up your copy, get one. It includes the track schedule, lettering requirements, records, state qualifying marks, etc. It also includes information about nutrition, injuries, and many other items that will help motivate you to pursue excellence.

For the first real meet of the year, there were some impressive results. There were 13 marks that made the Titan All-Time list. There were 12 more marks that would have made the list if the athlete wasn’t already on it with a previous best. And the number of personal records probably numbered over 100. Overall, this was a great meet and provided a starting point to improve upon through the season.

FRIDAY’S WORKOUT
The relays Friday were great to watch. They showed some real TEAMwork and competitiveness. I hope you felt like you were giving some extra effort during each leg of the relay knowing that your teammate or partner was depending on you. We hope you feel that way in every workout- the TEAM is depending on you.

SATURDAY’S WORKOUT
This was a good chance to get some of your performances on video where you can see what you need to do to improve your technique and mechanics. If you got videoed and do not have a HUDL account, let me know.

CONGRATS CAPTAINS
Brenn Flint, Renee Peterson, Alyssa Perry, Isabella Williams, Daunte Atkinson, Treston Cullimore, Colten Yardley, Ammon Riley, Broderic Hall and Carson Andreasen. Ten great seniors with many more seniors who will also give some great leadership.

AND CONGRATS COACH BURTENSHAW
The proud mother of a new baby girl. Not sure of the size, weight, etc., but she is healthy. I think we can even excuse Coach missing practice for a couple days.

FREMONT/VIEWMONT TRI-MEET
We will travel to Viewmont Wednesday for a Region tri-meet. Both Fremont and Viewmont have some great athletes that will give us a challenge. Those competing will be excused at 1:20 with the bus leaving at 1:30.

DAVIS DISTRICT CHAMPIONSHIPS
We will be hosting the Davis County Championships March 24^th and 25^th. This is our first state qualifying meet. In the past, we have used it as our "fund raiser" to help supplement our budget. We have done this by running a concessions stand and "selling" event sponsorships. Hopefully, this will make it so we can continue to upgrade our equipment without having to sell cookie dough or caramel popcorn. I’ve attached the details.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE
Mar 18 - SHS/Fremont at Viewmont @ 3:00 pm
Mar 24/25 - Davis District Championships at SHS
Mar 28 - Copper Hills Inv. @ 9:00 am

INTRASQUAD MEET

The Sophomores and Juniors used their depth to defeat the Seniors in the Intrasquad meet Thursday and Friday. The final combined score was 290.5 to 237.5. It was great to see the competitiveness and enthusiasm that both TEAMS displayed. As a reward for the victory, all Sophomores and Juniors who competed will be treated to pizza after the Copper Hills meet Wednesday.
The tough competition resulted in 10 marks making the Titan All-Time Top Ten list. Kayla Rees led the way as her victories in the 100m (12.71, #3), 200m (26.65, #5) and 400m (59.44, #3) dashes all made the list. Anne Petersen’s 16'01.00 in the long jump is the #7 all-time mark. She also moved into the #10 spot in the 100m hurdles running 18.18 in her first attempt at the race. Brenn Flint had a good meet winning the shot put (36'01), discus (122'11) and javelin (75'11). She is already on the all-time list in all three of those events with better marks from last year.

For the Boys, three sophomores made the biggest impact on the all-time lists. Dylan Brower cleared 6'00 in the high jump to move into the #6 spot. Kayden White threw 143'11 in the discus to also move into the #6 spot. Hunter Woodhall ran 50.54 in the 400m dash, good enough for the #8 spot. Stephan Olivas threw the shot 47'01, the #10 mark. And Adam Johnson’s 146'04 in the javelin is the #9 mark in Titan history. Colten Yardley had a big meet winning the 110m hurdles (15.34), 300m hurdles (40.30) and 200m dash (23.43). Also picking up victories were Zach Daines, pole vault (10'00), Jake Wakefield, long jump (19'00), Mason Leishman, javelin (154'01), Daunte Atkinson, 100m dash (11.34), Ryan Andreasen, 800m run (2:08.6) and Bryant Edgerton, 1600m (4:50.4) and 3200m (10:45.2) runs.
It was a great start to the competitive season.

COPPER HILLS DUAL

We will host Copper Hills Wednesday in our first "real" meet. Competition will begin at 3:00. You will not be excused from class- hurry out to help set up and get prepared for your events. We will not assign what events to enter- just make sure you compete in enough events to get in the best "workout" of the week. That means all able-bodied athletes will run the 4x400m relay at the end of the meet.

OUTDOOR OFF AND "RUNNING"

Many things were accomplished in the first two workouts of the outdoor season. We had good numbers and good efforts that bode well for the future. Lets keep the momentum going.
 
REQUIREMENTS

Make sure you complete the Register My Athlete requirements. Also, if you haven’t emailed your phone, parents email, etc., to me, "git er done".
 
FRIDAY’S WORKOUT

There won’t be many workouts harder than our "10 x 10's". This is a workout that you can make as hard or easy as you choose. Most made it HARD. The results were impressive as the top distances for the most part were much better than last year. Here are the top five for each category that will be eligible for the drawings Monday:
Girls sprinters/hurdlers/jumpers- Kayla Rees (1460), Akasha Galbraith (1450), Cidnee Davies (1380), Kaycee Adams (1380) and Brooklyn Dee (1370).
Boys sprinters/hurdlers/jumpers- Colten Yardley (1620), Loren Burrell (1620), Hunter Woodhall (1620), Daunte Atkinson (1620) and Broderic Hall (1582).
Girls distance- Isabella Williams (3450), Rachel Griffin (3135), Taya Tobler (3105), Abbey Greenhalgh (3080), and Kayla Snyder (3070).
Boys distance- Alex Danylo (3540), Will Cannon (3535), Jake Reynolds (3505), Tyler Stark (3480) and Josh Mecham (3397).
Great job by everyone who completed the workout. It was especially good to see the competitiveness of so many of you who were striving to get just a few more meters out of your body. Being tough and competitive in workouts translates into being tough and competitive in the meets.
 
THIS WEEK (weather may dictate)
Monday- Introductions to various events. Coaches will instruct on the basics of the high jump, pole vault, discus, javelin, start mechanics and hurdles.
Tuesday- The workout will start after the ACT test at 1:00.
Wednesday- Handoffs
Thursday/Friday - INTRASQUAD MEET
This meet will pit the Seniors against the Sophomores and Juniors. Boys and Girls scores will be added together to determine the winning TEAM. Info will be posted Monday.
SATURDAY- 10:00 am Workout, 12:00 Uniforms Issued. All eligibility requirements must be completed to receive a uniform (registermyathlete, physicals, fees paid, U’s cleared, GPA, etc.). Varsity uniforms will be issued according to marks set in the Intrasquad meet.
 
TRAINING / WORKOUT LOGS

Continue (or start) keeping and sending in your weekly logs. There will be $$ available for those who have not been sending them in yet. I will send out an email with the template and instructions. I’m convinced you will become a much better prepared athlete if you maintain the logs. So far, the top-10 are: Rachel Griffin, Hunter Woodhall, Arlyne Arteaga, Kalen Jordan, Jessop Oliver, Sydney Hansen, Treston Cullimore, Abbey Greenhalgh, Thomas Griffin and Tanner Kutterer. Many others are very close.

At the Big Sky Conference Championships, Mayra Franco ran 7.65 in the 60m and 24.94 in the 200m dashes, just missing the finals. At the MPSF Championships in Washington, Tyrell Yardley ran 47.30 to win the 400m dash. PAC 12 schools as well as WCC schools compete in this meet.
