Darts -
I hope you are enjoying your small break. The indoor track
season will be over before you know it - there are only 5 weeks left
until the Simplot Games and the end of the season. To be honest, we were
a little disappointed in attendance at practices this past week. We
understand it was the last week of the term, but if you missed one or
more practices this past week, we need to make a little better effort
moving forward in the coming weeks. We have a core group of athletes
doing a great job, but we would love to see more commitment, more
purpose, and more TEAMwork as we continue through the indoor season and
move into the outdoor season. Each of you need to feel like you can
contribute. You will get so much more out of this if you will fully
commit to doing your best each day.
Track Class: We start
the track class on A-days this week (4th period). There are about 270
people in the track class, so it will be a bit chaotic to start with -
stay patient with your coaches - and step up as leaders. Those of you
who are not in the track class should still come and find your coach
after school on A-Days to find out what the workout is (check in the
small gym and on the indoor track). We will continue to meet in the
cafeteria after school on B-Days for indoor practice.
Tuesday Practice (no school):
We are going to meet at the school at 1:00pm at the south doors. We
will either be going down to the Olympic Oval in Salt Lake or giving you
a workout to do on the outdoor track at Davis. If you want to go down
to the Oval, you will need to bring $2, and we will need some drivers.
We will be back to Davis around 4:30. Distance runners, hurdlers,
sprinters, and jumpers can all come down. If you can't attend the Oval,
you should at least come to the school at 1:00 and we will give you a
workout to do at the school.
Weber State Invitational (Jan 23):
On Friday (Jan 23) we will be attending the Weber State Invite with our
field event athletes (shot put, pole vault, high jump, long jump).
There will be no running events. We do NOT have to pre-register. The
meet is at the Stromberg Gym (southeast corner of WSU campus). The cost
will be $5 for the first event and $2 for any addition events.
Spectators are charged $5 as well. We will hand out more info at
practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
4:30 - Boys and Girls Shot Put (2 rings)
5:00 - Long Jump (girls first)
6:30 - High Jump (boys first)
7:00 - Pole Vault
BYU Invitational (Jan 24):
We will be going to the BYU Indoor meet on Saturday. There will only be
track events (no field events). I have attached the BYU Information.
You will need to bring back the attached paper with the events you would
like to run and the money ($4 per event) no later than Thursday
afternoon this week. Let me know if you have any questions.
Alumni Report: Many
of our alumni were in action this past weekend. Jared Ward ran at the
U.S. 1/2 Marathon Championships in Houston where he finished 2nd Overall
with a time of 1:01.42. Jared is training for the Olympic Trials
Marathon which will be Los Angeles next February.
