Hunter Naisbitt had a top performance as his 181'02" throw in the discus was a school record and the #10 all-time mark in Utah history. Mayra Franco set a school record in winning the 200m dash in 26.00, a state qualifying mark. Cory Serfoss, Jonah Lewis, Chris Brown, and Preston Jackson ran 3:38.81 to qualify for state in the medley relay. Ali Morris’ 15.68 in the 100m hurdles placed 2nd and also qualified her for state. There were many great performances- no details this week. The results of this meet were also sent in a previous email.

COACH AARON HILL
Aaron Hill’s farewell will be held tomorrow (Sunday, April 24th) at 11:00 am. The address of his chapel is: 3024 S 1200 W Syracuse. Come join me on the back row. Man, we’re going to miss him.

NORTHRIDGE / FREMONT TRI-MEET
Syracuse will host the Ridge and Fremont Wednesday at 3:00 pm. In as much as it’s a “B” Day, you will not be excused from class early. 8th period will set up- the rest of you should be ready for a TEAM lap at 2:30. That means HURRY OUT!!

DAVIS HIGH INVITATIONAL
The Titans will travel to Kaysville for the 54th Davis High Invitational. Entry deadlines are this Tuesday morning. If you cannot go and did not sign the clipboard at the meet Friday, please email me. I do not want to enter anyone that will be unable to attend.

REGION RANKINGS
http://www.regiononetrack.blogspot.com/. The top 24 in each event at the end of the regular season qualify to compete in the Region Championships. They will probably not be updated until Monday night- I have to wait on all schools to send in their rankings.
There are also partial state rankings at:

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Selected this week were Sharlie Dimick, Katelyn Davidson and Shane Russell. Sharlie had a big PR in the 1600m run Friday- she’s ready for more big improvements. Shane’s hurdle times are dropping fast- he’s ready to qualify for state in both hurdles. Katelyn performed over and above the call of duty. While sick as a dog (however sick that is) she typed almost all of the results for the junior high meet Thursday. She then got out of her sick bed to fill her commitment and PR’ed in the 800m run in the cold and wind Friday. This program cannot operate without people like Katelyn behind the scenes.

ALUMNI UPDATE
Sasha Russell ran 15.59 in the 100m hurdles and 1:09.77 in the 400m hurdles at the BYU Invitational. McKayla Williams improved her seasonal best in the 800m run to 2:18.74 at the Brutus Hamilton Invitational in California. Hannah Williams ran 4:34.12 in the 1500m run at the same meet. That is equal to about a 4:52 1600m run. Jake Rossmango ran 10:14 for the 300m steeplechase at the Michael Johnson Invitational at Baylor University.
