BYU Indoor Meet

Registration: I sent home registration forms for the BYU meet at practice today.  They want online registration, so we had to adapt.  The papers I sent home include their liability waiver as well as the other information they want.  Those will need to be turned in by Thursday to get in the meet.

Admission: BYU is charging all spectators $6 admission.

Parking and Directions: Parking is available in the lot NW of the Smith Field House, adjacent to the indoor practice facility.  You can also get there via University Parkway.

Check in: I should be there to pick up the wrist bands that all competitors must have to compete.  As soon as you get to the Field House, let me know you are there, so I can get your wrist bands to you to get you in to the track facility.

Indoor Track Camp

The district has made a change in how camps and clinics are run.  Instead of filling out paper forms and paying in the office, that process is now done online.  The link for the camp is here. The money for the camp will go to pay for the indoor singlet and meet fees as it has done for the last several years. 

We will not have transportation to meets, so an assumption of risk form will have to be completed for each athlete before they compete in a meet.

Athletes interested in competing at Simplot Games will need to join USATF as a junior member before they register.  This cost is not covered as part of the camp fee.

Utah Distance Challenge

The Utah Distance Challenge is at the Utah Olympic Oval  5662  Cougar Lane, Kearns. Admission is free for spectators.

Prior to arrival at the meet, all athletes will need to complete the Utah Olympic Legacy facility waiver form

2. 3/16 inch pyramid spikes. The same spikes are required in two weeks at the UHSTCA Meet.

3. Athletes need to be at the starting line for check-in 15 minutes prior to their event. The
seeding for each event will take place at the starting line.

clean up after ourselves.

Snap Raise Fundraiser

The success of this fundraiser has blown me away. I was expecting we could raise in the neighborhood of $1500 - $2000 and we blew past that.  We currently have just over 73% participation which gets up another 7% of what we keep.  Thanks to all of you for your efforts. The goal, which I thought was unrealistic, was reset twice.

BYU results

We had a pretty good day in Logan at the BYU Autumn Classic. (it feels funny typing that). We had a few 5K prs and Zac medaled at a meet with a lot of quality runners.  The results are up on runnercard. The results have also been updated on athletic.net. 

BYU Update with new time schedule

Due to air quality concerns in Utah County from wildfires, the BYU meet has been moved to the USU course in Logan.  The bus departure time is the same.  We will stop at Aggie Ice Cream after the meet. We will probably be getting back at about 4:30. We will arrive before the women's race starts, so we will be able to watch both college races and have plenty of time to set up camp before the meet starts.

The college races have been moved to the first two races of the day at 9:00 and 9:30 and the high school races starting at 10:00.  The JV and Fr/So races are now combined and will be at 11 and 11:30. Be prepared for the boys and girls races to flip. We will

New, New Time Schedule

The main parking area will be in the gravel lot at the east end of the course.  Do not park on 1400 N, those cars will be towed.   If that lot fills, there is parking at the football stadium that will require a short walk to the course.

BYU Information and Schedule

The BYU Autumn classic is held on a fast East Bay XC course.  This course is flat and and 100% grass and hopefully dry this year.  Last year there was a giant mud bog that shoes were lost in.  This is a spikes course. There is a college meet in the middle of our meet which is fun as well.

Spectator Admission: BYU is charging a $6 admission fee for this meet.

Parking: Parking at the course is reserved for teams and race officials. There are a number of businesses nearby that have lots you can park in.

The race schedule may be pushed back if there is frost on the course in the morning. 

Schedule:

6:00 am meet at Hillcrest for the bus
8:00 am Fr/So Boys

9/5 Home Tri-Meet Info

Our only home meet of the year is at Crestwood Park 1700 E. Siesta Dr., this is the same place and course as our pre-season time trial. You can either take Keswick or Caballero off Creek Rd to get there.

I need course set up volunteers to get there about 1:00. I will have race flags and finish chute posts and flags in the back of my truck in the parking lot.  I will leave a list of where on the course we need to place flags. Other race volunteers will need to be there by about 3 so we can get people out on the course and familiar with the directions they will be giving.  I will have a list of place we need course marshals.

The girls race will start at 3:30, the boys at 4sh.

Labor Day Weekend Practice Schedule & Fundraiser

We will be having practice over the Labor Day Weekend. We will go in the mornings so the majority of the weekend can still be spent with family.

Saturday - 6:30 am meet at Hillcrest We will carpool up Millcreek to do a long run (70 - 75 minutes) on the Pipeline Trail

Monday - 7:00 am meet at Hillcrest We will be doing a fartlek workout at Union (Stoner) Park 4 or 5 cycles of 8 minutes moderate 2 minutes desired race pace varsity 5 cycles

If you are out of town, try to get a run in, as close the workout schedule as possible.

Make sure you get emails and text messages sent out for the fundraiser.  If you don't ask, the answer is always no.  Don't browbeat people when you ask.

Westlake Grass Relays

The Grass Relays is a fun meet with an unusual format and unique course.  The course consists of a fairly flat one mile loop with hay bales to jump over at four points on the loop. This course is fairly spectator friendly. The race is only 2 miles and the varsity races are run as a relay.

The meet is as Westlake High in Saratoga Springs.  Parking is usually east of the school, but follow directions as they usually have it marked.  The course is on the fields west of the school.  We will have our canopy, so our camp should be easy to find.

Schedule
6:15 am meet at Hillcrest for the bus to the meet

8:00 A.M.: Girls J.V. 2 Mile Race-Frosh/Soph

8:20 A.M.: Boys J.V. 2 Mile Race -Freshman

12:30 P.M.: Boys & Girls Middle School/ Youth 1 Mile Race

Pre-Region Results

That was an interesting afternoon.  I have the results uploaded at athletic.net, but I don't have many of the boys, because of the confusion at the finish chute with the downpour and the lightning.  Only about 25 tags got pulled out of just over 60 boys.  If you have a time, let me know and I can add the results in. I do have 64 times, so I should be able to match it up if you have one or know who you finished right behind.

With the times we did get, we had a few athletes run faster times than on the same course last year at region.

On another note, there has been a slight change in district policy regarding the transport of athletes to and from meets.  If you need to take your athlete home from the meet, an assumption of risk form has to be filled out before you take them.  Previously, we were able to release kids to parents without any paperwork, but that has changed.  If there is a reason you will need to transport them to the meet rather than having them go on the bus, that paperwork needs to be filled out in advance and I will need to have it in my possession before we go to the meet. I will have those forms at my desk so they can be picked up during the day.

Remember we meet at 2:30 Thursday to debrief the race and talk about Saturday.

Racing Season Week 3

The hot weather will continue this week.  The hotter the temperature outside, the more water needs to be consumed during the day.

Highland Invitational Results and Thoughts

This meet had some very challenging conditions with the heat.  For the most part, we handled it pretty well. Fortunately, none of our kids were among the ones transported to the hospital.  We will have to deal with heat periodically the rest of the season, so hydration during the day is crucial moving forward. 

We had a number of PRs, but this meet shows how tough Utah XC is. 

Complete meet results are on runnercard.  As always, results and progress from the entire season can be found on athletic.net.

Highland Invitational info and schedule

The Highland Invitational is at Sugarhouse Park There is some parking available in the park with more parking available at Highland High School. This is a large invitational with 2000 + runners competing in multiple races.

It will still be quite hot, so make sure you are hydrating throughout the day and start now.  Athletes in later races will need some food to make sure they are fueled for their races.

We had a pretty good day with many PR performances.  The boys ran pretty well, especially considering who we didn't have.  The girls ran faster than last year, which is encouraging.  Meet results are on athletic.net.  Milesplit Utah  also has results with all varsity results combined.  They also have hundreds of photos as well as race videos on their site. Congrats to Caylor, Anthony, Francisco, Sophia, and Megan for earning medals.

Premier Invitational Info

The Premier Invitational will be held on Saturday August 10th at the Cottonwood Softball Complex at 44th S and 13th E.  This is usually a fairly small meet that is good to start the season with.  The start and finish are are NW of the softball fields. That is the best place to view the course if you don't want to run from spot to spot. Our team will be easy to spot in our somewhat distinctive singlets. 

The best parking lot is on the north end of the park, but there are two other parking lots if they fill up. 

We can make allowances in advance for special circumstances, but we expect the team to ride to and from the meet on the bus.

Schedule:

6:30 am meet at Hillcrest to catch the bus
8:00 Varsity boys
8:45 Varsity girls
9:30 JV boys
10:15 JV girls

Hopefully they will move some of the start times up, it shouldn't take 45 minutes for varsity athletes to complete this fast 3 mile course.

Awards:

Top two teams in each classification get trophies.
Top seven finishers in varsity receive a medal and a shirt.
Top ten finishers in JV receive a medal.
