Redhawks,
Thank you for all of your help at the meet on Thursday. We got through it very efficiently and had some very good performances. You can find the results on Runnercard.
We also had a host of PRs down at BYU over the weekend. Friday was a hot one and Maeli and Jaelyn were there for like 8 hours, and both managed to PR in both the 100 and 200. Mia and Evi sat in the sun for literally 6.5 hours to try to get through the High Jump, so props to them simply for surviving (there were about 160 girls in the high jump, so it took FOREVER to move through the event - I've honestly never seen anything like it and hopefully never will again). Lesileli came down both days to throw and hit a PR with 90 feet in the discus, and narrowly missed the 30 foot mark in the shot, after waiting hours for her flight to finally go as well. Our milers and 800 runners also had a great day overall, with some really big PRs. We learned some valuable lessons and will be better prepared for region as a result.
This week we have the Region Championships on Wednesday and Thursday at Woods Cross. For all lane events, the trials are on Wednesday, with the finals being on Thursday. Only the top 8 runners of the trials will advance to finals.
This is the meet where you can officially qualify for state by place. Previously, at any of the invites, everyone who hit a legal, state qualifying time qualified for state. At region, the top 4 finishers in each event will advance to state. In lane events, that means qualifying for finals on Thursday and then finishing in the top four. All relays, field, and distance events will advance the top 4 finishers to state.
We are only allowed a certain number of entries, so not everyone will be able to compete, although it is expected that everyone be at the meet to support. All of our distance runners who don't run in any other events at the meet will be entered into the "unseeded mile" on Thursday, which is a JV mile, and is an event that I'm really looking forward to.
Entries will be finalized tomorrow night. In many cases, decisions will need to be made about which events to participate in, balancing individuals going to state and team relays making it as well. I will need to speak with anyone who has been on a relay at an invitational tomorrow at practice as we weigh decisions going into the meet.
There will not be a bus to the meet. Everyone on the team will be excused at 2:10 to go to the meet (those of you in the track class on Wednesday... check canvas for class start time, which will likely be later, and potentially at Woods Cross).
