Relay Results

The last two weeks we've taken a bit of a break from our normal meet schedule to participate in a couple of Relay-only meets. On the 14th, we traveled to North Sanpete for their Relay meet. We had a great time, despite the cold. Luckily, the wind and rain didn't start too bad until we were on the bus and on our way home.

This previous Tuesday, the 21st, we went to the Timpview Relays to participate in another relay-only meet. We had a great time and most everyone in attendance ran/jumped/threw very well. The highlight of the meet had to be when the throwers pulled their BBQ grill out of their bag and started to grill up some burgers, brats and dogs! MMMM-MMM!

Oh What a BEAUTIFUL Day for a Track Meet!

Boy, I'll tell you what, we sure can pick our dates for track meets! We've hosted two meets so far, and they have been the nicest two days of the entire season so far. Tuesday's meet was by far the nicest Spring-like weather we've seen yet, and we took full advantage of it!

The nine teams that attended made for some great competition in what felt almost like an invitational due to the overall size and effort that went into pulling it off. Thanks to everyone who helped out in ANY way to pull it off.

As far as our team performances go, both our Boys' and Girls' teams finished in a strong 3rd place overall. We saw numerous PR's and improvements throughout the team! Nice work to everyone who improved. You can find the results HERE for the boys, and HERE for the girls.

This weekend we will be traveling to the Utah County Invitational at Orem High on Friday and Saturday. The bus will leave the high school about 2:00, so please be on time.

Snow, snow, go away!

This weather is getting old quickly! We survived another miserably cold meet this weekend, this time at Timpanogos High School's Asics Invitational. Despite the cold, we had several great performances from several athletes. Athlete of the meet honors would definitely have to go to fab-freshman Siale Vaitohi, who took second in the Long Jump AND the High Jump. In the High Jump, she qualified for the State meet by jumping 5'2" (qualifying is 5'0"). Great Job Siale, and everyone else who braved the cold to compete! Results can be found RIGHT HERE!

This week, we will be hosting a big meet on Tuesday, April 7th here at Salem Hills High School. Expected to be present are: Delta, North Sanpete, Emery, Juan Diego, Carbon, Richfield, Juab and Wasatch Academy. It should be a beautiful day for a track meet, so let's all set new PR's! This weekend we will travel to Orem High School for the Utah County Invitational on Friday and Saturday. We'll talk more about this meet on Wednesday.

Salem Hills, Lehi @ Spanish Fork

On Tuesday, March 31st we went over to Spanish Fork to compete against the Dons and the Lehi Pioneers. It was a bit cold, but all in all, not an awful day, considering the weather we've been having the last week or so... Anyone else completely tired of this stupid weather???

Some of the highlights of the meet were Siale Vaitohi winning all four of her events--the 100, 200, High Jump and Long Jump! Great job! Also, Karlee Loss won the 800 , and Margo Brockbank won the 1600 in her first race of the season after being injured. On the boys' side, Jason Anderson won the 100 and 200, and our 4x100 relay (Billy Fairbanks, Jason Anderson, Josh Adams, Jace Spencer) and our 4x400 relay (Tucker Pinder, Blake Adams, Josh Adams, Jason Anderson) each won their races as well. Great work team!

The complete results are found RIGHT HERE!

Our next meet will be the Asics Invitational at Timpanogos High this Friday and Saturday. The weather's supposed to be crumby again, but what do you expect, right? The meet will start at 3:00 on Friday, and not until 12:30 on Saturday, due to ACT testing.
