Spike Night at Salt Lake Running Co

Salt Lake Running Co is holding a spike night at their Sandy location on Thursday March 16th. Use the link to reserve your spot at the best time for you.  Time slots start at 4 pm and continue every 30 minutes to 7:30.  They have 15 spots for each 30 minute session and some are already taken.  

If you don't know what kind of shoes you need for your events, this is a good opportunity to find out more about what is available.

Team Gear and Uniforms

 Some clarification on team gear and uniforms

All members of the team will get a long sleeve team shirt when they pay their participation fee.  

All other team gear and uniform items will be paid for in the office. Then bring the receipts to Coach Stucki

Team hoodies are available for $20.

The uniform singlet (top) is $30. Athletes who already have a singlet, will not need to buy a new one.

The uniform shorts are plain black: Boy's 1/2 tights are $24, running shorts are  $18, girls spandex boy-cut shorts are $18.  I also have longer shorts for throwers for $15 

The Retirement of a Blog

 After many years as the home of Hillcrest Track and Field and Cross-Country, this blog is going to be moved to the Hillcrest Athletics site at hillcresthuskies.com.  Cross-Country and Track and Field will have their own pages on the site, but headlines for both entries for both sports will appear on the main page.  The move will enable us to post photos on the site, which we have not been able to do for a few years on this blog.  

The move will also have the added bonus of not being blocked by district web filters.  

As we transition to the new site, entries will be posted in both places for the next few weeks.  

Snow Day

 Due to everything being shut down for the snow day, we won't have practice today.  See everyone on Thursday.

2023 Hillcrest Track Team Store is Now Open

 The team store is now open. 

The shirts, sweatshirts, and beanies are designed to be either extra items for athletes or booster items for friends and family.  

The pants and tights are more for team members which could be very helpful on cold practice or meet days.  

The back packs on the team store are the only available team backpacks if you would like a bag. 

Nothing on the team store is required gear, but some of them could be a very good idea. 

The team store will close next week on Wednesday.

State Meet Information

 The 2022 UHSAA State Cross Country Championships will be held Tuesday, October 25 at the Regional Athletic Complex in Salt Lake City. The address of the RAC is 2280 Rose Park Ln, Salt Lake City, UT 84116. Team packets will be distributed at the team entrance area (listed on map). The facility will not open until one hour prior to the scheduled start of the first race for patrons (9:00 a.m. open for patrons; 8:30 a.m. for teams).   

Parking 

Spectators will be charged for parking to enter the venue. Fans will not be able to enter the venue without parking in the facility. Vehicles with two-or-less individuals inside the car will be charged $10; vehicles with three-or-more individuals will be charged $20. RV’s and other oversize vehicles will be charged at $40, due to the use of multiple parking spots. Vehicles will be issued wristbands at the entrance gates for the corresponding numbers of individuals inside the vehicle. Parking passes can be purchased on the UHSAA GoFan online ticket portal at https://gofan.co/app/school/UHSAA or purchased at the gate. A convenience credit card fee will be charged as part of the purchase. There will be no cash option for purchase. It is advised for everyone to prepurchase parking passes to allow for faster parking and entrance into the facility.  

Results 

All meet results will be posted live to the Internet. As soon as a runner crosses a timing point, those results will be posted live to the results page. We expect the time interval to be less than 10 seconds between the runner crossing a timing point and the result being displaying on the results page. Timing points will be located at the 1-mile, 2-mile and the finish line marks. Results at each timing point will display both the individual positions & times and team positions & score.  When results are posted live, at this point they are still unofficial. Once the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals of the top three finishers are displayed at the top of the Overall Full Results page, the results are considered official.  Results can be found on the RunnerCard website.  

Schedule 

Races will be run consecutively in the following order. Times listed are approximate:   

 1A Girls...10:00 am            6A Girls...10:30 am                                                                                       1A Boys...11:00 am            6A Boys...11:30 am

Assistance to Competitors 

Coaches, please educate the members of your team, their parents and others that will come to support your student athletes that per rule 9-7-4 it is a disqualification for a competitor who receives any assistance from another person. The most common form of the violation of this rule is when a non-competitor runs along side a competitor during the race (pacing).  This has been a problem in the past. It would be unfortunate to have to disqualify a runner for the actions of someone not in the race. Please help by informing those who will be there to support your team. Also, any runner who assists another runner will also be disqualified.

 Saturday was a good day for the team. Almost all of our kids ran personal bests to take advantage of a fast 5K course. If you haven't seen results yet, they can be found on athletic.net along with all our results from the season.

This week will be a challenging week with Homecoming week festivities.  Homecoming can make getting sufficient sleep difficult, so make sure adequate sleep is happening early in the week as Friday nights football game will make things challenging. 

If you notice your energy levels dropping, in addition to getting more sleep, make sure you are getting enough Vitamin D and Iron in your diet.  Endurance athletes typically need more iron than everyone else in the population.
