End of Season Party

With the end of the track season we need to get together one last time to reminisce, reflect and rejuvenate with each other.  In other words, it's time to PARTY!!!!  We've decided to do an Ice Cream Social on THURSDAY, MAY 21st at 7:00 pm at the TRACK.  This party is for all team members and their parents.  We are planning on having some ice cream and games, followed by a brief recap of the season and a few awards.  We want all to be in attendance.  PLEASE RSVP to Coach Thompson by Tuesday if you will be attending.  You can email at bart.thompson@nebo.edu, call at (801)423-3200 ext. 1545, or comment on this link.

We look forward to seeing you all one more time before we part ways for a season.

The End of a Great First Season

First, I must apologize for not keeping this blog better up to date in the final few weeks of the season.  It has been hectic to say the least.  It has been a great last 3-4 weeks with many great performances that I want to be sure get posted.

I'll post the Central Utah Invitational Results HERE.

Click HERE for our REGION VIII Championship Results.

And finally, the STATE CHAMPIONSHIP RESULTS.

As far as State goes, we had a great showing by most if not all of our athletes that qualified for state.  Among some of the top performances were Jason Anderson in the 400 (3rd place), our Boys and Girls Medley Relay teams (both finished 6th place), and our men's 4x400 Relay which nearly upset favorite Delta in one of the more exciting races of the day on their way to 2nd place.  Congratulations to all team members on a great season.  We as coaches are already excitedly looking forward to next year!  We hope all you underclassmen join us next year for what is certain to be another exciting season.

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.
