DAVIS HIGH INVITATIONAL
While not many Titans were able to qualify for this very prestigious meet, the ones that did so turning in some great performances. Teams from all over Utah and Wyoming participated in the meet. The format calls for an open portion in the morning and an invited session in the afternoon. Only the very top athletes even make the meet.
Some of the top performances included: Hannah Williams, 1st in the Open 800m run (2:25.65); McKayla Williams, 3rd in the Open 300m hurdles, 4th in the Invited 400m dash (1:00.48); Jessica Crawley, 6th in the shot put (33'02); Aaron Hill, 7th in the Invited discus (144'10, a state qualifying mark); Tyrell Yardley, 7th in the Invited 100m dash (11.21, state qualifying) and 5th in the 200m dash (24.03); Felicia Sortor, Sasha Russell, Hilary Peterson and Hannah Williams ran 4:25.22 to finish 4th in the Invited medley relay; and Hannah, McKayla, Abby Rich and Ricki Janes placed 4th in the 4x800m relay in 10:19.86.
Several athletes had big PR’s including Abby Rich and Kiana Tebbs in the 3200m run. Hannah Williams ran three 800's under 2:30 in a real tough performance. Hilary Peterson ran two great 400's and her fastest 800 of the year. It was a great showing for the Titans against the best in the state.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as Athletes of the Week were Hilary Peterson, who had three great races at the Davis Invitational, and Kyle Kelly, who continues to work extremely hard and had two 2nd-place finishes in the Layton dual.

SEASON WINDING DOWN
Man, the time has flown by. With 1 ½ weeks until Region, 2 until Sophomore Region, and 2 ½ until State, it is very important that you take extra care in monitoring the "little" things. These include sleep, nutrition, hydration, injury prevention and re-hab, etc. Maybe you have neglected these things in the past- don’t do so over the next three weeks.
