Titan Track Update - May 26

Titan Track Update - May 26, 2008

TITAN DECATHLON
Seven athletes battled the weather and 10 events to complete the First Titan Decathlon. The Decathlon consists of 10 events over two days and is considered the most grueling test of pure athletic ability in sports. While the event has been around for more than a century for men, it is relatively new for women, and is still not on the Olympic slate. It probably will be in four or eight years. The IAAF scoring tables make it possible to compare the efforts of men and women. Each of the 10 events is scored with 1000 points being a certain percentage of the world’s best performances in that event. The 10 events are: 100m dash, long jump, shot put, high jump, 400m dash, 100/110m hurdles, discus, pole vault, javelin and 1500m run.
The winner of the Titan Decathlon was McKayla Williams, who finished with 4341 points. This is the highest point total ever by a Utah high school female. McKayla had several good performances, with her best being her 4'11" clearance in the high jump to establish a school record. Ryan McNeill was 2nd with 3711 points. The other finishers were: Alex Garrett (3418), Kuyler Thompson (3287), Ashley Hunzeker (2943), Hannah Williams (2655) and Clayton Bergloff (1836).
It was a fun two days. Many of the athletes had never competed in some of the events. Next year, expect the point totals to soar even higher.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Chosen as Athlete of the Week was Ryan McNeill. He had a great decathlon and has had an outstanding spring. We expect some big things from him next year.

BARBEQUE/AWARDS
As has been the case all year, the weather played havoc with something dealing with Track. Thanks to several parents, we were able to get everyone filled up.
The year-end awards went to: McKayla Williams (Outstanding Female Track Athlete); Ashley Hunzeker (Outstanding Female Field Athlete); Tyrell Yardley (Outstanding Male Track Athlete); Aaron Hill (Outstanding Male Field Athlete); and Jessica Crawley (Performance of the Year).

CROSS COUNTRY MEETING
A meeting for everyone interested in running Cross Country and their parents will be held this Wednesday, May 28th at 6:00 pm in the Little Theater. Plan on attending and also helping to spread the word to anyone even remotely interested.

Titan Track Update - May 19, 2008

Titans Finish First Season in Style!!!
RECAP
Several obstacles faced the Syracuse Track TEAM as the season began with an Indoor meeting clear back in December. The first was recruiting and convincing students that Track and Field could be fun. Luckily, many bought into the idea. The next was facilities and equipment. Many things were not completed during the initial construction of the facility and many items were not ordered. Another obstacle was the lack of experience of most of the athletes. As Outdoor began, we also had weather that bordered on the ridiculous at times. Through it all, about 90 Titans persevered and finished the season in grand style. The Lady Titan Sophomores won the Region Sophomore Championship and the Boys finished 2nd. It’s the first time I can remember that Davis did not win the Girls. The 5A State Championships was also impressive as the Girls finished 18th and the Boys 11th. Not bad for a first-year school with no seniors.

SOPHOMORE REGION
The Lady Titans racked up 151 points to Davis’ 111. Capturing titles for Syracuse were: Jessica Crawley, shot put (33'11); Ashley Hunzeker, discus (95'11); and Abby Rich, 3200m run (13:10). They scored in every event with Jade Clements, Rhylie Gray, Sasha Russell, Hilary Peterson, Ricki Janes, Hannah Williams and Kiana Tebbs placing in the top six in their events.
The Boys had a very good meet also finishing 2nd to Davis. Individual titles were won by Tyrell Yardley, 100m dash (11.28) and 200m dash (22.48) and Aaron Hill, discus (148'04) and shot put (46'04). Yardley, Chris Jackson, Tyler Siddoway and Ryan Palmer ran 3:40.49 to win the 4x400m relay. Also placing in the top six in their events were Tyler Turnblom, Nate Norman, Kuyler Thompson, Tyler Siddoway, Chris Jackson, Steve Wilcox, Jake Rossmango, and Willis Ellsworth.

The Titans had a great two days at BYU in their first State Championships. The Boys finished 11th in the 26-team field while the Girls were 18th.
Tyrell Yardley had a great meet in finishing 2nd in both the 100m and 200m dashes. His times of 10.92 and 21.94 are among the top times ever run by a sophomore in Utah. Aaron Hill threw 148'07" to place 5th in the discus. That mark would have actually won in a few other years. It also is one of the top marks ever thrown by a sophomore. Tanner Burton cleared 6'00 to place 6th in the high jump to round out the scoring.
For the girls, Jessica Crawley had a big PR throw of 37'02.50" in the shot put to place 5th. Again, this is one of the top marks ever by a sophomore in Utah. McKayla Williams ran 59.28 to place 6th in the 400m dash. This is a great time considering she didn’t really start 400m workouts until the last 10 days of the season. McKayla, Hannah Williams, Sasha Russell and Hilary Peterson ran 4:10.96 in the 4x400m relay to just miss making finals.
It was a great meet and a great learning experience for the Titans. There are many Titans that can’t wait for next year to begin.

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
Chosen as Athlete of the Week Tyler Siddoway. He’s done a great job all year in workouts and is always willing to jump in and fill a relay spot or whatever we need to have him attempt.

Titan Track Update - May 12

Titan Track Update - May 12, 2008

REGION ONE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Titan Track TEAM did a great job at the Region One Championships last week. Not only in the quality of the performances, but also in the efforts of so many to host the meet. Both Boys and Girls finished 6th in the eight-school region which is by far the strongest in the state.
Scoring for the Girls were: Michele Arave, 8th in the high jump (4'10); Jessica Crawley, 4th in the shot put (33'06.50); Ashley Hunzeker, 6th in the discus (91'05); McKayla Williams, 5th in the 400m dash (1:00.08) and 7th in the 100m hurdles (16.48); Hannah Williams, 5th in the 800m run (2:22.26) and 8th in the 1600m run (5:31.27); Abby Rich, 8th in the 3200m run (12:34.08). In relays, the 4x100 ran 53.09 to finish 6th, just one spot out of going to State. The runners were Felicia Sortor, Sasha Russell, Hilary Peterson and Sydney Watson. The medley finished in the same place to just miss going to state. Sasha Russell, Felicia Sortor, Hilary Peterson and Abby Rich turned in a time of 4:33.33. The 4x400 team of Hilary, Hannah, McKayla and Sasha ran 4:16.37 to place 4th and qualify for State.
The Boys scoring came from: Tanner Burton, 5th in the high jump (5'10); Aaron Hill, 5th in the discus (147'02); Tyrell Yardley, 5th in the 100m dash (11.20) and 2nd in the 200m dash (22.06); Chris Jackson, 6th in the 110m hurdles (16.06) and 7th in the 300m hurdles (42.60). The 4x100m relay finished 6th in 45.13. Running on the team were Yardley, Jackson, Anthony Winegar and Trent Judd. The medley relay also finished 6th in 3:55.24 with Judd, Winegar, Ryan McNeill and Willis Ellsworth carrying the stick. The 4x400m relay was 7th with Jackson, Yardley, McNeill and Sotero Perigo running. Their time of 3:44.49 was less than one second out of 5th place.
The top five in each event qualify for State. We qualified three boys, three girls and one relay team. If we would have competed in any of the other three 5A regions, than number would have been between 12-18 (depending on the region). Region One is tough!!! The top-three boys teams at State and three of the top four girls spots will probably come from Region One.


ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as Athletes of the Week were Sasha Russell and Alex Garrett. Neither have missed a practice all year. Alex continues to work hard and will be a force next year. Sasha ran two great races at Region, just missing the finals in both.

Track Update - May 5

Titan Track Update - April 28, 2008

VIEWMONT / NORTHRIDGE TRI MEET
As has been the case most of the year, weather played a big role in the performances of the meet. We decided to pull many athletes out of their normal events in an attempt to stay healthy. The girls nearly pulled off the victory as Viewmont scored 57 points to the Lady Titan’s 55. Northridge finished with 55. The boys finished in 3rd place scoring 31 points to Viewmont’s 97 and Northridge’s 37.
Finishing first for the girls were Jessica Crawley (shot put), Ashley Hunzeker (discus and javelin), Hilary Peterson (200m dash), McKayla Williams (800m run) and Hannah Williams (1600m run).
Placing first for the boys were Tyrell Yardley (100m dash) and Steve Wilcox (3200m run).

BYU INVITATIONAL
Most of the Titans that were able to get into the prestigious meet had great performances and turned in big PR’s. Jessica Crawley threw 34'11.75 in the shot put to place 8th and become the first Lady Titan to qualify for State. Among 5A schools, she would have been 4th. McKayla Williams had two PR’s, but just missed qualifying for State in the 400m dash (59.82) and 300m hurdles (47.68). She had the 4th fastest time from 5A schools. Michele Arave cleared 4'10 in the high jump, just off qualifying and tying for 7th in 5A schools. Hilary Peterson’s 1:03.13 in the 400m dash was a big PR.
Tyrell Yardley had a great meet running 11.23 in the 100m dash and 22.18 in the 200m dash. He was 4th and 5th among 5A athletes in the two events. Aaron Hill improved on his discus PR, throwing 148'08 to place 9th, 7th from 5A schools.
It was a good experience for the Titans to compete against the best in Utah and surrounding states.
