Dual Meet at Andrew Hill

So yesterday we had our first dual meet. There were alot of good performances. Some notable ones:

Full Results


* Lauren Drewniany won the Long jump and triple jump. In the long jump she got a HUGE PR from 14'11 to 15'10.5 which we call the Lauren 2-fer (she already owns the FS school record in the LJ so everytime she PRs it is also a school record.) Afterwards, maybe even more impressively she went 31 feet in her first triple jump of the year (in practice or the meet).

* Adam Groen ran 14 laps in all on thursday (The mile, 2 mile and 800) he PRed in the mile and set personal best in the other 2 races (first time running it)

* Jeff Roberts broke the 18 foot barrier and should keep moving that along.

* Kean Vaziry gave it all he had in the 400 and came up about 10 meters short. There is still a Vaziry stain on the track. Great effort.

* Matthew Dariano stepped up and ran the 110 hurdles since they did not run the 65 meter hurdles.

* Emily Frederick had a huge PR in the LJ, went from 12'0.25" to 13'1".

* Greg White fought the urge to look up while running and had a stronger finish than last time in the 200, with a PR of 23.77. He also jumped 37'11 in the triple jump with a special guest apperence by coach Cunanan helping him out.

*Taylor Alonzo topped his 100 meter PR with an 11.68.

* In the 4*400 Jacob Montoya battled with Andrew Hills Anchor to give him Leach Kenny and Daw the win.

*The 4*100s you can see how they did in the videos below.

* Olivia won the mile and 2 mile despite running by herself most of the day.

* Lexi Mallette had a PR in the discus. Mason, Nikki and Alberto threw for the first time this year to get their seasons started now they get to try and improve their marks. (Nikki got 2nd in the shot and the disc, Lexi got third in both and Mason got 2nd in the discus.)

* Leach won the 300 hurdles, in his first attempt at the race, in fact he hadn't cleared a hurdle until this week.

* Jacob Daw won the high jump with a height of 5-6.

* Courtney won the 100 and got second in the LJ and was part of both relay wins.

* Daniele Dukes stepped it up and ran the 4 by after running both hurdle races and high jumping.

Like I said, a lot of good performances. We have a lot of people who are new to track so I think our PR totals are going to sky rocket as people learn more and more.

One last thing, I know I don't put much stock in scoing points and winning or losing meets but the girls had a pretty impressive win considering the folllowing:


-Girls won 82-45

-We had only 12 girls compete (there were 15 events)
-Danielle, Erika and Courtney were the only people that did 4 events as opposed to Emily, Chelsie, Olivia, Nikki, Lexi all did only 1 or 2 events. So we didn't max everyone out.
-Every single girl scored at least a point. Not sure I have ever seen this happen with a team that won in a blowout. This is the epitomy of quality over quanity.

Have a good weekend, see you guys and gals Monday - Coach Mike
