Titan Track Update - March 10

HISTORY MADE
The first week of Outdoor Track and Field at Syracuse High was a huge success. Over 125 took part in the workouts. That’s the good news. The bad news is that only about 50 made it to all five workouts. If we can get 125 to all of the workouts, this is going to be a great program. In years to come, you will be able to look back and take pride in the fact that you helped build Titan Track into a State power.
Some of you receiving this email have not been to a workout- many of you have been excused. For those who are not sure if they should give Track and Field a try, here’s a hint: It’s easier to join the Track TEAM than it is to run away from me for the rest of the year. I’ll hunt you down. Hey, come out, give the sport an honest effort. There’s a money back guarantee: If you join the TEAM, work hard, and at the end of the season feel like it wasn’t worth the effort, I will reimburse you for any expenses you have had. That includes fees, shoes, equipment, etc.

FIRST WEEK OBSERVATIONS
This is a learning experience for all of us- including the coaches. There isn’t a TEAM in the State with less experience. But, we will overcome that inexperience by working harder than other teams.
Track is a tough sport to coach. There are 14 individual events and three relays. With only five coaches, much of what you do will be on your own. It is important that the more experienced athletes help the “rookies” when a coach isn’t available.
Great job on the workouts!! Most put forth an honest effort to complete the workout to the best of their ability. The time trials Friday showed us that the potential is there: we just have to develop it.

HANDOUTS, ETC.
The Track “Bible”, event handouts and videos will be kept in the Announcer’s Booth. Pick them up, check them out, become a student of your event.

THIS WEEK
Workouts- We will be doing more speed in all of the track events. We will also be working on handoffs in preparation for the first meet. While some things will change in preparation for the first meet, the main focus of the workouts will remain to get you ready for Region and State in May.
Wednesday- Everyone who has turned in all forms (Yellow Info Card, Physical, Tryout Checklist, Code of Conduct), paid their fees, cleared their U’s, and is academically eligible will receive warmups and a uniform after practice.
Friday- FIRST TITAN TRACK MEET. We will go against Woods Cross and East at WX. All eligible athletes will be excused at 1:15. The bus will leave at 1:30. Our main goal is to gain some experience. But we will also put people into events to give us the best chance to win the meet.

$$$$
If you’ve read this email, come to room 2118 Monday morning. The first one to correctly answer a question will win $10 or a t-shirt (your choice).

Indoor Update and Workouts - Jan 14, 2008

USU INVITATIONAL RESULTS
The first indoor meet in the history of Syracuse Track and Field had some great performances. For most of the TEAM, it was the first meet they had ever competed in. The results were impressive. With over 40 schools from four states competing, the Titans had some strong performances.
On the ladies side, Jessica Crawley had the highest finish as she placed 5th in the shot put with a toss of 31'09.50. Hannah Williams placed 7th in the 800m run with a time of 2:37.0. Sasha Russell narrowly missed the finals of the 60m dash and also placed 10th in the 400m dash running 1:05.60.
For the boys, Tyrell Yardley ran a great time of 7.30 to place 6th in the 60m dash. Anthony Winegar had an outstanding meet running 54.77 to place 6th in the 400m dash. His 9.32 in the 60m hurdles was good enough for 10th place. Chris Jackson ran 55.94 to place 8th in the 400m dash. Anthony, Chris, Tanner Russell and Ryan Palmer ran 1:40.54 to place 6th in the 4x200m relay.

XC Update - October 15

Titan XC Update October 15, 2007

LADY TITANS QUALIFY FOR STATE!!!
The Lady Titans had an outstanding race at the Region One Championships last Wednesday and the result was a trip to the State Championships. They finished with 86 points to place 4th as a TEAM. Davis (26 points), Fremont (62) and Weber (74) finished in the top three spots. Viewmont (127) secured the final spot for State in 5th place. While 1st place was out of reach, 2nd place was not too far off. Region One is easily the toughest region in the state for girls’ Cross Country. To place so high is a great achievement.

Individually, Abby Rich had an outstanding race placing 8th in the tough field. She ran 19:27 over the 3.0 mile course. As usual, she and the Williams sisters helped each other over the first half of the race, then Abby pulled away. Hannah (12th, 20:00) and McKayla (14th, 20:08) ran great races to finish just out of the top-ten. Kiana Tebbs had her best race of the year running 21:26 to place 23rd. Hilary Russell completed the five scoring athletes as she ran 22:11 to finish in the 29th spot. Alexia Wilcox (22:46) ran strong to place 34th. Aubrey Eddy, usually our #4 runner, battled a pulled muscle and finished in 36th place running 23:02. Hopefully, we can get it healed by State and get her back in the lead group.

Sasha Russell was our top finisher in the Girls J.V. race as she finished 30th in 25:59.

While the boys finished 8th in the region field, the bright spot was that there were some great efforts and improvements from top to bottom. Austin Costley was our top finisher as he placed 26th in 17:26. Jake Rossmango also broke 18:00 as he ran 17:55 to finish 36th. Preston Williams (46th, 18:57), Weston Atkins (47th, 19:09) and Tyler Siddoway (49th, 19:19) were the other scorers. Jantzen Deppe (52nd, 19:40) and Anthony Winegar (54th, 20:27) completed the varsity scoring.

In the J.V. race, Kyle Kelly ran strong to finish 33rd in 21:26. Steve Wilcox ran his first race in over a month to place 34th in 21:44. Tyler Kutterer had his best race to finish 35th in 22:19.

Complete results can be found at: www.runnercard.com.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The State Championships is a great event. 10 State TEAM titles are up for grabs at Sugarhouse Park. The races start at 11:30 am, with races starting every half hour. The Lady Titans will run at 3:30. The top ten individuals receive medals and All-State recognition.

Lady Titan Outlook: The top 17 - 5A teams will be running for the title. Finishing in the top ten would be a great accomplishment- one that is within reach with a great race. Getting there is an outstanding accomplishment for the first year of our program. A top ten finish would be icing on the cake.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Hilary Russell and Weston Atkins were selected as the Athletes of the Week. Both had very good races at Region and have shown great improvement since the season began.

XC Update - October 8

Titan XC Update October 8, 2007

OPEN REGION MEET @ FREMONT
Seven of the eight schools from Region One competed at this meet held at Barnes Park in Kaysville. The girls finished 3rd while the boys were 7th. Abby Rich had a very good race finishing 7th in 20:02 over the 3-mile course. Hannah Williams (9th, 20:09) and McKayla Williams (12th, 20:33) were close behind. Aubrey Eddy ran very well on a sore quad to finish 24th in 22:01. Kiana Tebbs (27th, 22:10), Hilary Russell (31st, 22:44) and Alexia Wilcox (39th, 23:38) rounded out the varsity scoring.
Jake Rossmango ran 18:24 to finish as our top placer in the boys race. Preston Williams (18:50), Weston Atkins (18:51), Jantzen Deppe (19:20) and Tyler Siddoway (19:21) rounded out the scoring for the Titan boys. Complete results can be found at: www.syracusetrack.blogspot.com.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as Athletes of the Week were Alexia Wilcox and Kyle Kelly. Alexia is improving every week- and can become a very good distance runner with year-round training and a firm commitment to improvement. Kyle never misses a workout and keeps working hard every day. This will pay off in great results. Maybe not immediately, but in the near future.

REGION CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Region Championships will be held at Layton Commons Park Wednesday. The race schedule is as follows:
4:00- Girls Junior Varsity
4:30- Boys Junior Varsity
5:00- Girls Varsity
5:30- Boys Varsity
To qualify for State, we need to finish in the top five TEAMS. If the girls run as well as they have been recently, they stand a great chance of making it to State. The boys will have to have their best effort of the year to qualify. Getting either or both of the TEAMS to State would be a great accomplishment for our first-year school.

CONGRATS
To Bob Williams (Preston’s father). He ran 4:04:05 at the St. George Marathon. Great performance!!! Just finishing a marathon is a great accomplishment.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
As we approach the last couple weeks of the formal Cross Country season, I would like to thank everyone who has supported the efforts to establish a quality program at Syracuse. It has been rewarding to see so many people with no Cross Country background get involved and realize the benefits of a great sport. I hope you will continue to support our efforts to make this one of the top programs in Utah.
