Redhawks,
Well done to everyone at Region, and now we are on to State. You can find the entries for state here. Look them over and let me know if anything is incorrect. Look over the relay teams as well. Alternates, we need you at the meet, planning as if you are going to run, so that if anything happens we can sub you in.
There won't be a bus to state, so please make arrangements to arrive with plenty of time to be ready for your event. I suggest 2 hours early (so you can make it through traffic, have time to get into the facility, which requires a bit of a walk, have time to find the team, warm up, and check in - which is more cumbersome at BYU than a typical meet), with the exception only being the first event of the day.
Those who aren't competing at state are still encouraged to attend and support. Everyone who comes down to the meet will be excused from school for the day (Thursday). ALL WHO ARE GOING TO STATE NEED TO SPEAK WITH THEIR A-DAY TEACHERS ASAP TO LET THEM KNOW YOU WON'T BE THERE ON THURSDAY, AND MAKE ARRANGEMENTS TO MAKE UP ANYTHING YOU WILL MISS.
JV Region on Tuesday, 5/17
Everyone NOT competing at state is eligible to compete at JV region. However, in many instances, if you were a borderline state runner/thrower/jumper, it is probably not appropriate for you to be competing at JV region. Speak with me if that applies to you and you are interested in competing.
If you do not intend to compete at the meet on Tuesday, LET ME KNOW ASAP, so that I don't enter you. The last thing we want to do is enter a million people who aren't even going to show up, and then the meet takes way longer with multiple heats only half full. That being said, if I don't see you at practices over the next few days, I'm probably not going to enter you, just assuming you have quit.
The bus for JV region leaves at 1:30, so you will be excused at 1:15 on Tuesday. Those in the class do not need to come until boarding the bus.
Those going to state are strongly encouraged to come to Bonneville to do your workout before the meet, and then support your teammates. The meet will probably be a bit longer than most... Maybe we'll go get dinner as a team after returning to Bountiful?? (Bring some money just in case)
Let me know if you have any questions.
Coach Jacobson
