We had a pretty exciting week
with the schedule being moved around and not knowing our bus situation. Through
it all you were all very flexible and did what you needed to do. Thank you for
your hard work, understanding, and flexibility. We had more people consistently
at practice this week, several state qualifiers in the long jump and discus,
and we had excellent performances and improvements at the meets on
Tuesday/Wednesday and Friday. All in all it was a very successful week and as a
team we took another step forward. Let’s keep it rolling and have another great
few days of practice and a great meet before spring break.
A few top performers at Box
Elder on the girls side were Laurie, who won the 800m and the 3200m (her
favorite event hands down) and Julia finished first in the long jump,
qualifying for state, and was followed by Bri in second place. On the boys side
Blake won the 800m, and Garrett finished second in the long jump, also
qualifying for state, and 3rd in his first time throwing the
javelin.
This week we will practice as
usual on Monday and Tuesday, then we have the Davis district championships on
Wednesday/Thursday. It is a trial/final meet so all sprint events will compete
for 8 spots in finals on Thursday. I’ve also included the schedule of events at
the end of this email. All the schools in our school district will be there so
we will see some great competition. Because it is a state qualifying meet we will
once again be limited on entries, which we will send out on Tuesday.
Parents, this meet is run by
the schools so each school is in charge of running a field event. We have been
assigned to run the javelin. If any of you would be willing to help for a couple
of hours on Wednesday/Thursday (if you can only do one of those days that’s
fine too) please let me know. We’ll teach you everything you’d need to do so
you feel confident. It’s a pretty straightforward job. Coach Munk will run the
event if we don’t have help, but because he coaches all three throwing events
I’d rather he be able to go help our athletes at each event instead of being
only at the Jav. If that’s something you can do let me know.
This is our last meet before
spring break so let’s make it a great one. Let me know if you hav any
questions.
