End of the year BBQ is Wednesday May 28 at 6:00pm at the High School cafeteria.  We will have each athlete attending bring a food item to share (fruit, salad, veggies, dessert, or chips assigned by coaches to each event). This is only for athletes, those that actually finished out the season.  

We will have a runner/parent meeting for those who would like to run Cross Country this coming season, on Wednesday May 21st at 6:00 p.m. in the High School Lecture Hall (across from the attendance office).  We invite those interested, to come and meet the coaches and learn about Summer XC and what you need to do to be part of the team for this Fall.  It is very important that you attend, or have a parent attend for you, so you know what is expected and what will be happening this summer and upcoming season.

We will announce this in school and the middle schools, but spread the word anyway.

Region 2 Championships and May 5th-10th

Last week was a big Track week for us with JV Region on Wednesday and BYU Invite on both Friday and Saturday.  We had a lot of athletes pop out and do well and it was fun to see improvements, especially by those who worked hard this season. BYU was a long two days, but we did get some PRs, State Qualifiers, some overall placers and winners, and a State Record.

This week is the Region 2 Championships will be on Wednesday and Thursday at Copper Hills.  The Wednesday meet starts at 3:00pm and Thursday will start at 1:00pm.  Buses will leave at 1:50pm on Wednesday and 11:50am on Thursday.  Athletes will be checked 45 minutes before buses leave.  Note that NO more driver/rider forms will be allowed the rest of the season, athletes will ride the bus to and from Region and State as a team.  The only exception will be for an athlete who has a later AP test on Wednesday, but this will need to be approved through Coach Barnes.

From Coach Barnes:  So for this upcoming school year I will be teaching Sports Medicine periods 1,2, and maybe 3 for 11th and 12th graders.  And Intro the Health Science periods 5, 6, and maybe 7 for grades 10-12. Both are full year classes, with Sports Medicine being a CTE credit class and Intro to Health Science (basic anatomy) fulfilling the .5 Health credit for graduation and .5 CTE credit.  I always highly recommend taking Health Science over Consumer Health, especially for those who might be semi-interested in any kind of medicine or health care type careers. I would love for my athletes to come take my classes, and fill them up with some students that I already know.  Plus, I would love for all of my athletes to be familiar with the concepts and curriculum taught in each class. Keep this in mind as arena scheduling comes up in the next week.  

I would also like to see all athletes in a weights class if schedules permit. 

 

Corner Canyon at MR and Wildcat Invite, April 21-26

We have a home meet Wednesday at Mountain Ridge vs Corner Canyon at 3:00 p.m..  Athletes are expected to compete in multiple events that day and help run the meet.  Athletes should be present the entire meet, either competing, helping, or cheering on their teammates in different events.  No one should leave early!  It is supposed to be the a decent weather day again.  we rally appreciated those parents who came to help last week with our home meet, and we would love some help with this one. Please contact the coaches if you are able to help.  we need help with clerking and check in for races, High Jump, Long Jump, and all the Throwing events.

We will get athletes out of school at the same time as last week's home meet.  Athletes should hurry to the track to help with whatever is needed.

3rd Quarter Report Cards need to uploaded to RMA as of Friday.  Please do this now, if you haven't yet so that you can compete.

Also, a LAST reminder to athletes and parents that practice is not an optional thing.  If athletes want to be able to compete and remain on the team, they need to be at practice everyday!  We seem to have less and less of our athletes showing up to practice, and we have already had to cut some athletes as a results of these absences.

Congrats to the following for hitting State Q marks this past week at Davis: Caden Runyon - 200 meter.

Congrats to the following for winning over all this past week at Davis: Adam Wightman - Invited Pole Vault, Kinzlee Riddle - Invited 100m, 400m, and 200m.  Ashton Pedersen open 3200.

Bingham vs Mountain Ridge, April 14-19

We have a home meet Wednesday at Mountain Ridge vs Bingham at 3:00 p.m..  Athletes are expected to compete in multiple events that day and help run the meet.  Athletes should be present the entire meet, either competing, helping, or cheering on their teammates in different events.  No one should leave early!  It is supposed to be the a decent weather day.  We would love some parent help for this event!  Please contact the coaches if you are able to help.

We will get athletes out of school at the same time as if we are going to a Region meet on the bus, so that everyone can help get ready for the meet and warm up.  9th graders will get checked out at 2:00pm. 

3rd Quarter Report Cards need to uploaded to RMA as soon as they are out.  Please do this so you aren't held out of meets.

Also, a reminder to athletes and parents that practice is not an optional thing.  If athletes want to be able to compete and remain on the team, they need to be at practice everyday!  We seem to have some athletes showing up to practice whenever they feel like it, and this will result in them being cut if it isn't fixed today.

April 7-12, Farmington Invite

We hope everyone had good Spring Break and were still able to get some good training in.  

We do not have a Dual Meet this week.  We only have the Farmington Invite on Friday.  

No one is allowed to drive on their own to and from meets!  If you want to be driven by parents or leave with parents a JSD Driver/Rider form must be filled out and signed before the meet and given to Coach Barnes, or you will be on the bus both ways.

Make sure you are at practice everyday so you are eligible to compete!

We will take a select group to Farmington Invite on Friday.  The Bus will leave at 12:00 p.m..  The Invite Schedule is HERE.

March 24-29 - Riverton, UVU, and Spring Break

Last week was a good 2nd week of competition for our team.  Even with the cold day at Herriman we still saw a lot of good marks.  

Pine View Invite was well worth our trip down.  We had nice weather, good competition with 77 teams, and a good trip.  We also had some athletes hitting state qualifying marks, some overall placers, school records, and lots of PRs and good marks in our first invite.

Congrats to the following:  Ryder Gatten (State Q and 3rd in Javelin), Madison Grant (State Q in Shot Put), Shaylee Grant (State Q and 4th in Discus), Carly Trujillo (State Q, 1st place, and school record in Shot Put), Kinzlee Riddle (3rd place 100 meter, 2nd place 200 meter, 1st place 400 meter, State Qs in all 3, and school records in all 3), Ashton Pedersen (school records in 1600 meter and 800 meter), Zac Burgess (school record in 3200 meter), and State Q for the girls 4x200 relay with Kinzlee Riddle, Lexi Jarvis, Jane Hadley, and Britni Ott.

Saturday we will take some athletes to UVU for their Invite.  We are only allowed to enter 35 event entrees per gender, so coaches will have conversations with varsity type athletes that are able to attend and who are in town this weekend.  Buses will leave at 6:15 a.m. and the meet starts at 8:00 a.m..

The 3rd quarter will end on Friday.  Athletes should be responsible student athletes and take care of grades in school and not have to miss practice time to make up grades.  Please make sure all of your grades are in order and you are not missing practice if you want to compete this week in meets.

Spring Break is all of next week.  Parents and Athletes, please do not take a break from training!  We are at a critical point in the season for solid consistent training. We will hold practice everyday during the break.  Those practice times may vary based on events and coaches, and we will comminate those times for Friday and next week.  If you are heading out of town for any or all of Spring Break, please please please communicate that with your event coach and get alternate workouts from them.  If you are in town there will be practice and you are expected to attend!

Girls' Nike jerseys are finally here!
