Braves,
Sorry I am not getting this out to you sooner. We had a
great day at the Davis Invitational on Saturday. There were tons of personal
bests in spite of the wind, many all-time marks, and as a team we flat out got
better. I highlighted a few of the events on the day on our Instagram post, so
if you would like to see some of them I will refer you to that to save time
here.
The season is quickly coming to an end. We have just over
two weeks until state, and just over a week until region. That leaves us with
the meet on Thursday at Viewmont, which will begin at 3:30, and the meet on
Friday and Saturday at BYU. There are minimum marks for the BYU meet, which are
very difficult, so most of you will only be competing at Viewmont. We will talk
to those of you who qualified for the BYU meet and decide which events to have
you compete in. For running events, you will be doing less events at BYU than
you are accustomed to as we prepare for the region meet only a few days later.
We have 5 practice days until the region meet. Use each day
to get a little better, and come region we will give ourselves a shot to win
it. The past two weeks have been great for our team, we have worked harder and
been more consistent and saw some good things happen. When the region meet is
upon us all we will have to do is go out, compete hard, and have fun. If we do
that then the results will take care of themselves. We have a fun few weeks
ahead of us. Let’s make some good things happen.
In summary, Thursday we have a meet at Viewmont. Woods Cross
will also be there. That meet begins at 3:30, and there will not be a bus, so
you need to find a ride to and from. You will sign up for events at the meet.
Talk to your event coach about what events to do. If you are going to BYU plan
on doing a workout back at the school then coming over to support your
teammates. Friday-Saturday is the meet at BYU. The link below has the info for
the meet. If you hit the standard to be entered you will most likely be entered
into the meet, though probably not all of your events. We will know about
relays tomorrow, most likely.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
