REGION CHAMPIONS!!!

Golden Eagles –

Wednesday & Thursday gave our TEAM a chance to show our region what we all knew our TEAM could do. Well done to all of you. As coaches we are so proud of all of you for stepping up at the right time to help your TEAM out. It was a very selfless balanced TEAM effort and it will take that same selfless balanced TEAM effort to bring home the big goal of a state championship. Let us stay focused and see this one all the way to the end. Yes that means you will need to go one more week giving up things that “the normal teenager” doesn’t give up, but you will gain something that “the normal teenager” will never get. See it through.

There were so many highlights from the region championship meet we will be unable to mention all of them, but some of them were: Skyler Procaro setting the Overall State Record in the Javelin with a throw of 198’ 10”!!! Joining Skyler in the Javelin was Jake Varney taking 2^nd in the event with a PR throw as well. Finally to top off the Javelin event Jacob Abbot qualified for state and placed 5^th in the event, with a PR throw as well. That gives our TEAM 3 of the top 10 javelin throwers in 4A. Skyler was also the region champion in the discus along with all of our throwers doing an amazing job in the discus. Zach Decker got into the scoring action as well in the discus placing 7^th and 3^rd in the Shot Put. Our jumpers didn’t want to be left out of the scoring party and didn’t want to miss out on going to state. We had 3 high jumpers qualify for state at this meet led by Chase Klungle, Spencer Asay, and Sammy Cooper all clearing 6’ and placing in the top 6 in our region. In the long jump Spencer Asay & Cameron Carson both scored and qualified for state in the long jump. Our distance crew also got into the scoring action, running very smart races and passing opponents at the right times. Isaac Faux & Paxton Patey went 2 & 3 in the 1600 and 3 & 4 in the 3200. Isaac also placed 2^nd in the open 800, just getting edged out at the line. Paxton anchored our Medley relay team to a 2^nd place finish as well. Cameron Carson led the sprinters by winning the region title in the 100 meters in a time of 10.85 and helped anchor our 4x100 relay team to a region title as well. Sprinters Dallin Nelson, Devin Barker, Steele Rassmusen, and Kevin Muribrook all helped all of our relays to finish in the top 3. Kevin Muirbrook placed 3^rd in the open 400m and qualified for state in this event Devin Barker placed 8^th in this event. Our hurdle duo of Nate Priest & Nate Strong both qualified for state in the 110’s placing 4^th & 5th. Nate Priest also helped out in scoring points in the 300 hurdles placing 6^th. Nicole Habel placed 3^rd in the shot put and qualified for state in this event.   Jensen Williams was the region champion in the 400meters and placed 2^nd in the 200meters and anchored our 4x100 and 4x400 relays to top 3 finishes. Megan Elmont placed 2^nd in the Long Jump and 6^th in the 400 and helped out on our relays. Brette Bennett scored for us in the high jump placing 3^rd. Christine Heyn placed 6^th in the 100meters and helped our 4x100 & medley relays. Tarin Strosser placed 5^th in the 100meters qualifying for state in this event and also placed 4^th in the Javelin and qualified for state in this event as well. Regan Pond placed 6^th in the 3200m and 8^th in the 1600m scoring points for our team. Lindsay Schuring and Sarah Hash both earned points for our team in the 800m placing 7^th & 8^th and were also both members of our 4x400 relay. Other relay members were Tessa Weight, Bobbe Graham, and Brenda Quintana who all helped our relays to top 3 finishes. Thank you to all of you and to our whole TEAM. Well done at region.

This idea of working all the way to the end is not just something for track and field, but also for your school work, and for life. As you keep working and see it through to the end good things will happen.

Now this upcoming week of April 15 – 21 we have one meet scheduled and it is the Utah County Invitational on Friday 20^th & Saturday 21^st at Mountain View High School (650 West Center Street Orem Utah) This is a great meet for our TEAM for several reasons, first it gives us another opportunity to get those state qualifying marks, second it gives us an experience with a two day meet which is what State & Region are with trials and finals, and third this meet is at Mountain View High School which is were the Region Championships are held and it gives us a chance to compete at this facility so we are familiar with it when Region comes around in three and a half weeks.
