This past week was much better. We saw great efforts in practice
and in the 2 track meets. The final 4 weeks are all about preparation
and discipline. I challenge each of you to be more disciplined in any
area that can help you to compete your best.
Be disciplined with your nutrition - get enough calories (if you
are feeling warn down, you are probably not getting enough); eat plenty
of protein, carbs, iron, fruits, and vegetables; make sure you are
hydrating properly as it is starting to get hot;
make sure you are getting food in your system within an hour (or
sooner) after hard workouts; and don't eat sugar/junk in excess (some is
fine - but donuts all day is bad).
Be disciplined with your warm ups, workouts, stretching, and core work -
the little things we do will really keep us sharp for the big meets
coming up; throwers spend extra time working technique, sprinters spend
extra time working blocks/handoffs; hurdlers
stay sharp with your hurdle form; jumpers spend some extra time on
approach work; distance runners do a better job with core and
stretching.
Stay disciplined with your sleep - you should all be aiming for 8
hours of sleep per night; I know that is hard with AP and everything
else you have going on, but do your very best to make the sacrifices you
need to in order to stay rested; sleep and
nutrition are the keys to recovery and staying healthy! Be disciplined with your preparation before track meets - take each remaining opportunity seriously and prepare to do your very best.
We need EVERYONE to show up EVERY DAY with a positive attitude,
ready to work as a TEAM and ready to become champions. It is not just
going to happen - we have to make it happen. Have the right attitude and
do the things you need to do.
Woods Cross Invitational - Both our boys and girls finished
1st place at the Woods Cross meet on Friday night. It was a great meet,
and we were very happy about your efforts. I wish that more of you would
have stayed to the end of the meet and supported
your teammates. The 4 x 400 and 4 x 800 were great events. I know it
was late, but it would have been nice to have more of you there. This
next week at the Davis Invite, you are all expected and required to stay
to the end. You can see the full results from

Saturday Make-Up Meet - Great job to those of you who came
and competed on Saturday. Some of you earned your way into the Davis
Invite. It was a perfect day for a track meet. I will post the results
on the blog -www.darttrack.blogspot.com
Davis Invitational - Next Saturday (April 25). I have been
saying it all season long - this is the biggest day of the year for our
program. We take a lot of pride in putting on the best track meet in the
state, but we need EVERYONE'S help. Our success
as a TEAM will be determined in how we compete - but even more
importantly in how well we do putting on the meet. In order to compete
at the Davis Invite - you need a mark that is in the top 50-60 for the
entries in your event. I will have the entries at practice
on Monday. All of you - those who are competing and those who are not
competing - will have an assignment. Most of you will be at the track
all day long (from 7:00am to 6:30pm). It is a long day, but if you get
involved and work hard, it is a very satisfying
day.
We want to start a new tradition this year. We are going to do a
TEAM picture at the end of the Invite - and I would like to see all of
you in the picture.
Plan on having fun, working hard, competing with heart, and making this a full TEAM experience.
I will email out the Davis entries and schedule on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Davis Invite Luncheon - There is a luncheon for the coaches,
volunteers, and sponsors at the Invite. We will be asking for your help
in bringing things for the lunch. We will need people to sign up for
baked potatoes, salads (of any kind), and rolls.
The sign up sheets will be passed around at practice on Monday and
Tuesday.
We are also looking for parents to help with cutting the meat (pork
and brisket) and for parents to help with setting up, serving, and
clean up. The meat cutters will need to bring a carving knife, and
apron, and a large cutting board and will need to
be there from 11:30-2:30. The parents helping with set up, serving, and
clean up would need to be there from about 12:30 until 3:30. Coach
Shawna Cox will be coordinating the luncheon and the volunteer help. If
you are able to help or if you have any questions
- you can contact her at 801-455-0961 or shawnacox1@gmail.com
Car Stickers - Jaron Erickson is selling car decals. They
are identical to the logo on the front of our track t-shirts and they
are very cool! One for $7 or two for $10. Please see Jaron for more
details. He will show you the stickers at practice
on Monday.
Remaining Schedule:
Wednesday, April 22 - Davis @ Weber - excused at 1:15 - bus leaves
at 1:30. You can participate in up to 4 events. Those of you who do not
make it in to the Davis Invite should plan on doing at least 3 events.
