STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS
WOW!!! What a great meet for the Titans!! In only our second year, we capped off a great season by placing 10th in the Girls 5A, 4th in the Boys, and 5th in the combined results. Not too shabby!!
BIG props to Tyrell Yardley. He had one of the greatest meets in the history of the state. Tyrell won the 100m, 200m, and 400m dashes, all in incredible times. First of all, he won the 100m dash in 10.75. He then won the 400m dash, defeating the two-time 5-A champion, running 47.46. That is the 4th fastest time ever run in Utah. He capped off his great meet by running a State Record 21.48 to win the 200m dash. He ran 21.15 in the trials of the 200, but the wind was over the allowable for record purposes. Six great races in two days.
There were several other incredible performances by the Titans and Lady Titans. Lindsey McFarland also had an incredible meet. She ran 58.84 to finish 4th in the 400m dash and also ran great legs on the medley and 4x400m relays. She joined with Shelby Cadwell, Hilary Peterson and Taylee Hamblin to run 4:20.21 in finishing 4th in the medley relay. Hilary ran her best 400 split (61.9) and Taylee ran a great 2:23.6, 800 to secure the high finish. Lindsey, Shelby, Sasha Russell and McKayla Williams shattered the school record in the 4x400m relay by 5-seconds as their 4:01.76 placed 5th. McKayla’s 58.9 split locked up the points. Hannah Williams also had an outstanding meet. She ran 5:14.26 to finish 7th in the 1600m run, 11:27.72 to place 6th in the 3200m run, and 2:21.28, good enough for 9th in the 800m run. The 800 and 3200 times were PR’s and school records.
For the Boys, Aaron Hill threw 156'00 to place 2nd in the discus. He just missed being a State Champion. Chris Jackson had a good meet finishing 6th in both the 110m hurdles (15.42, school record) and 300m hurdles (41.55). Austin Costley ran a great race to place 5th in the 800m run in 1:57.79. Hunter Naisbitt threw 46'04.50 to place 8th in the shot put. Not bad for a sophomore. Tyler Siddoway, Anthony Winegar, Chris Smith and Jake Rossmango ran a great race in the medley relay trials turning in a time of 3:35.91. A bad exchange in the finals prevented them from possibly finishing first. Their trial time was easily a school record.
While individually there may have been a few setbacks at State, as a TEAM and a new program, the meet was an outstanding success. It was great to have so many down there supporting those who were competing.

REGION ONE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The Region One Championships hosted by Syracuse Wednesday and Thursday showed how far the program has come in just one year. After 6th place finishes in 2008, the Boys placed 2nd and the Girls 3rd in the toughest region in the state. In 2008, we qualified athletes in eight individual spots and one relay for State. This year, we qualified 20 individual spots and all six relays. That’s a huge improvement.
Hannah Williams showed she is one of the top distance runners in the state as she won the 3200m run (11:42.72, a school record), was 2nd in the 1600m run (5:18.06) and 4th in the 800m run (2:22.58). Lindsey McFarland finish very strong moving from 4th to 1st over the last 100 meters to win the 400m dash in 59.45. Jessica Pauni won the discus (105'00, a school record) and was 4th in the shot put (34'08.50). Mary Pauni also qualified for state in those event finish 5th in the shot put (32'11.50) and 5th in the discus (87'09). Ashley Hunzeker threw a school record 100'01 in the javelin to finish 4th. Sasha Russell finished 5th in the 100m hurdles in 15.82, good enough for a school record and a trip to State. McKayla Williams was 4th in the 300m hurdles. Her 47.04 in the trials was a school record. Several Titans scored and just missed qualifying for State. Mayra Franco was 6th in the 100m dash in 12.95, a school record. Shelby Cadwell (1:02.39) and Hilary Peterson (1:03.68) were 6th and 8th in the 400m dash. Taylee Hamblin had a big PR 2:27.06 to place 7th in the 800m run. Ashley Hunzeker was 6th in the discus at 87'02. Lindsey, Shelby, Sasha and McKayla ran 4:08.56 to place 2nd in the 4x400m relay. Sasha, Kelsey Westbroek, Shelby and Mayra ran 51.72 to finish 5th in the 4x100m relay.
The Boys 2nd place finish was led by Tyrell Yardley. He won the 100m (10.60w), 200m (21.92w) and 400m (49.14) dashes. Wind prevented a State Record in the 100 once again. Aaron Hill had a big PR, school record throw of 164'08 to win the discus. That is the leading throw in the State this year. Austin Costley led wire-to-wire to win the 800m run in a school record 1:58.71. He also had a be PR/SR 4:27.65 to finish 3rd in the 1600m run. Hunter Naisbitt threw 46'11.50 to place 2nd in the shot put. Chris Jackson overcame back problems to place 3rd in both the 110m hurdles (15.39w) and 300m hurdles (41.90). The medley relay of Chris Smith, Chris Brown, Anthony Winegar and Jake Rossmango ran 3:42.04 to place 3rd. Smith, Jackson, Yardley and Winegar ran 3:29.85 to finish 2nd in the 4 x 400m relay. Just missing trips to State in individual events were Winegar, 8th in the 100m dash (11.32); Chris Smith, 6th in the 400m dash (51.82); Jake Rossmango, 8th in the 1600m run (4:37.75) and 6th in the 3200m run (10:14.60, a school record); Spencer Cook, 7th in the pole vault (12'00); Weston Atkins, 6th in the 800m run (2:04.42); and Tyler Siddoway (139'00), Alex Garrett (137'01) and Kuyler Thompson (136'00) who were 6th, 7th, and 8th in the javelin.

Titan Track Bulletin - May 4, 2009

Short Track Bulletin- I’ve got too much to do for the Region Championships to go into much detail.

SYRACUSE/NORTHRIDGE/LAYTON TRI-MEET
The Titans emerged victorious at the tri-meet held at Syracuse Wednesday. The Girls scored 58 points to slip by Layton, who had 55, and Northridge with 43. The Boys finished with 80 points. Northridge had 59 and Layton 36. Complete results can be found at: www.titantrack09.blogspot.com.

BYU INVITATIONAL
The Titans battled the rain and wind at the 99th BYU Invitational Saturday. Tyrell Yardley ran 48.02 to win the 400 meter dash. That is a school record and the fastest time run in Utah this year. Aaron Hill threw 150'01 to place second in the discus. He had a throw of 160' that was erased because of a foul. The long layoff from throwing hard has paid off as he has had to focus on technique.
For the Girls, Hilary Peterson, Shelby Cadwell, McKayla Williams and Hannah Williams ran 4:18.75 to win the medley relay. That is a school record and the fastest time run in Utah this year. The 4x400m relay team of Hilary, Shelby, McKayla and Lindsey McFarland ran 4:08.54 to place 6th. Jessica Pauni threw 37'08 to finish 3rd in the shot put. McKayla Williams ran 47.31 to set a school record in the 300m hurdles.
With over 50 schools in the field, the Girls finished 10th and the boys 13th.
