Utah Distance Challenge - The distance runners went down to Kearns this week to run in the Utah Distance Challenge. It was very successful - as we had a lot of personal bests and season bests. It is the type of progress that we like seeing at this point in the year. We had a few runners earn themselves national rankings with their performances. Brad Nye won the 800m in 1:55.76 - which is currently the #7 time in the U.S. Austin Neuner was second in the 1600m in 4:22.96 - which ranks him #11 in the U.S. in that event. Joe White (4:31.35) and Brayden Cromar (4:34.96) were just off the national list in the 1600. We also had an incredible 10 boys run under 4:50. Brayden Cromar came back and won the 3200m in 9:47, and was followed closely by our training buddy from Northridge, Caleb Waldron in 9:51 - both times make the national list. And in the 400m, Logan Thomas ran 54.75 to place 9th - it is the top Davis time so far this season. For the girls - we looked really strong in the 1600 - Meghan Hedquist (5:30) and Anni Andersen (5:31) both finished in the top 10, and we had 7 girls under 6:00. Mikell Wood improved her 400m time to 66.28 to finish 7th in that event. Meghan Hedquist ran a season best in the 800 (2:33) to finish 8th. And Tessa Brown, Joanna Boyd, and Liz Ashby all placed in the top 5 in the 3200. It was a fun meet and I was pleased with the results. Davis results can be found at the bottom of this email. Full results can be found at www.davisindoortrack.blogspot.com
Our next meet is the Utah State Indoor Championships - The girls and the boys have both finished in the top 2 in the meet for the past 10 years in a row. Last year our girls got a narrow victory (we won by 3 points), and our boys were 2nd place - behind Syracuse. This year we would like to do our best to finish with two firsts. It will take a TEAM effort and we will need as many of you to compete as possible. The schedule is a little different than last year. The field events are still on Friday afternoon/evening (beginning at 4:00pm), and some track events are also on Friday (1600m, 400m, 4 x 800m). The nice thing is that the Saturday meet will not go as long as last year. On Monday, I will have a paper to hand out to you if you are going to compete this weekend. You will need to fill out the paper and bring it back to me by Wednesday, along with the money it will cost for your events. The first event is $4, and each event after that is $2 (so if you sign up for 3 events, it would be $8. I have to pre-register you, so it is important that you bring me the paper back by Wednesday. I will also email it out tomorrow for those of you who are unable to get the paper from me.
Simplot Games - Those of you who have qualified to go to the Simplot Games were informed this past week. We are going to have our largest group ever (it continues to grow a little each year). We will be the biggest TEAM at the games - and we want to also be the most successful, and the loudest TEAM at Simplot. It should be a lot of fun, but we need to work really hard over the final 3 weeks in order to get ready. If you are on the list to go to Simplot, I expect extra dedication and extra hard work over these next 3 weeks. It is also very important that you get the final information from me this week. You will each need to register as members of the USATF (United States Association of Track & Field - $20). And you will need to get your money and final waiver to me by February 14th. The cost is $120 - and checks need to be made out to Davis County Running Club (DO NOT PAY IN THE OFFICE). I will have some information to hand out to you on Monday.
Sweats - If you ordered any sweats, they should be here in about 2 weeks. You need to pay the money in the office. $30 for tops, $30 for pants, and $7 if you have your name on the back of the hoodies. Bring me your receipts. Thanks.
Keep up the good work - Outdoor Track officially begins on Monday, February 28th.
