Davis Indoor Track Update - Simplot Games

Darts -
It was an incredible weekend at the Simplot Games for the Davis Indoor Track Club. Not only did we have the most athletes from any single school (86), but we also came home with quite a few medals and a ton of prs. It was once again one of our most successful Simplot Games. We had 21 individual athletes qualify for finals (our 2nd most ever), and 14 relay teams race in the finals on Saturday (a new TEAM record - old record was 11). It was the first time we have ever had at least one relay team in all 8 of the relay finals. The Davis results are listed at the bottom of this email and full results can be found at www.simplotgames.com - although they have a few things missing. Our top 12 finishers included: Brad Nye - 1st place in the 1600m with a new school record of 4:12; 1st place from the boys 4 x 800m relay team (Sagers, Thompson, Hansen, Hedquist); 3rd place for Ellie Child in the 800m (2:16); 4th place for Shea Martinez in the 800m (2:16); 3rd place for the girls 4 x 800 A Team (Albrechtsen, Frandsen, Garlock, Wood); 6th place for the girls 4 x 800 B Team (Boyd, Tyndall, Johnson, Hedquist); 4th place for the girls 4 x 400m relay team (Child, Van Brocklin, Sweatfield, Martinez); 5th place for Brayden Cromar in the 3200m (9:27 - Davis #2 All-Time); 7th place for Alex Hedquist in the 1600m (4:26); 12th place for Logan Wood in the 3200m; 12th place for Addy Jones in the 60m Hurdles (9.05 - Davis #2 All-Time); 12th place for Sylvia Harrison in the 60m Dash (7.77 - School Record); 12th place for Madi Garlock in the 1600m (5:20); 12th place for Austin Allred in the 800m (2:00); 8th place for the Girls Medley A Team (Berning, Harrison, Jones, Boyd); 9th place for the Girls Medley B Team (Frandsen, Taurus Jones, Anderson, Albrechtsen); 10th place for the Girls 4 x 200m Team (Harrison, Van Brocklin, Anderson, Jones); 7th place for the Boys 4 x 400 Team (Sagers, Thompson, Green, Nye); 8th place for the boys Medley Team (Williams, Badger, Fortin, Hansen); 8th place for the boys 4 x 800m B Team (Williams, Aposhian, Haws, T-Gold); 9th place for the boys 4 x 200m Team (Green, Badger, Child, Fortin). It was definitely a killer weekend for the Darts and a great way to finish off the indoor track season. Of course we had our ups and downs through the meet, but I was so impressed with the positive attitudes and the unity that I saw on this TEAM.
Thanks to all those of you who helped to make the trip happen. We had our biggest parent support group ever. Thanks to the parents who were chaperones and drivers, and thanks to the parents who came to support and cheer for the team. And thanks to the great coaches we have who were able to make it up (Coach Lauren, Coach Brad, Coach Agnello, Coach West) - and also to those who were there to help us get prepared to compete (Coach Parrish, Coach Ferrin, Kristin Billings, Shaun Webb). I said it up there, and I'll say it again - I have the best coaching staff in the world. And I also have the best athletes in the world. Thanks for all your hard work and sacrifices. Thanks for following the rules, listening to your coaches, and leaving it all on the track. I was tired and proud when I got home on Saturday. You are the best. There are some pictures on my facebook page if you would like to take a look. I will also get some video uploaded to youtube as soon as I can.

Athletes of the Week (tough to choose, but here are a few of the toughest performances):
Becca Albrechtsen - for racing 3 times on Saturday and finishing with her strongest race (2:25 medley relay anchor)
Ellie Child - for her killer 2:14.97 800m trials time
Jeni Christensen - for inspiring us all season as the best Utah girl pole vaulter in indoor history
Joanna Boyd - for the 3 races on Saturday 1600-800-800, and for really stepping up when we needed her
Madi Garlock - for finishing both of Saturday's races in inspiring fashion - running girls down over the final 300m in both races
Sylvia Harrison - for making finals for the 4th year in a row and for the school record 60m dash
Addy Jones - for nearly getting that school and state record in the hurdles - and for four solid 200m splits in the relays
Brad Nye - for making history with his 4:12 1600m - and for the most exciting race of the meet
Hayden Hansen - for two 2:00 800m splits in 2 hours (pr before the meet was 2:06)
Jackson Sagers - for running 3 solid races in a couple of hours on Saturday
Skylar Williams - ditto
Seth Fortin - for running four 200m splits under 22.6
Brayden Cromar - for his inspiring 3200m race (9:27)


With the Simplot Games over and the indoor track season coming to an end, I am really excited about the upcoming outdoor track season. We are defending region and state champions for both the girls and the boys. We have an opportunity to repeat on both sides. It's time to get to work.

Coming up:
Tuesday - Saturday (Feb 21-25) - No organized practice. Distance runners are encouraged to run 4-8 miles per day. If interested, distance runners can meet in my classroom every day after school to head out for a run.
Monday, February 27 - 1st official day of outdoor practice. We will have a mandatory TEAM meeting at 2:30 to hand out information. Place TBA.
