Indoor Track Update – Jan 18, 2010

USU MEET
Good start to the 2010 Track and Field season. The USU meet showed that we have the nucleus of the very good TEAM, but also showed that we have a great deal of work to do.
Perhaps the highlight of the meet was to see so many athletes new to the sport get a feel for what a great sport Track and Field can be no matter what their level of proficiency. There were also many other performance highlights. Setting eight Indoor School Records was definitely a highlight.
Rachelle Holden had a great first meet as she set two indoor records in the long jump (12'05.5") and high jump (4'06"). Jessica Pauni placed 2nd in the weight throw with a school record toss of 34'04.50 and also was 2nd in the shot put (34'00). Mary Pauni was 3rd in those events. Hannah Williams ran a great 1600 meters winning the event in 5:27.9. Mikelann Wilcox won the 3200m in 13:54.3. The 4x200m relay team of Kelsey Westbroek, Codie Stanley, Cambria Bitter and Shelby Cadwell placed 2nd in 1:59.4. Shelby, Kelsey, Codie and Morgan Costley were 2nd in the 4x400m relay running 4:39.4.
Aaron Hill had a good meet with his school record in the weight throw of 52'11", good enough for 2nd place. Kuyler Thompson was right behind throwing 52'07.50. Hunter Naisbitt was 3rd in the shot put with a school record toss of 46'03. Aaron was 4th throwing 44'06. Chris Jackson set a record in the long jump with a leap of 19'01", good enough for 2nd place. He came back to win the 60m hurdles in 8.84. Tyrell Yardley won the 60m dash in 6.99, just .01 off his school record. Tyler Siddoway (7.39) and Chris Brown (7.40) were 3rd and 4th. Preston Williams ran great to win the 800m run in 2:08.6. Jake Rossmango broke his own school record winning the 3200m run in 10:17.57. The 4x400m relay consisting of Yardley, Brown, Siddoway and Jackson won in 3:43.28. There were several other highlights, but USU has been slow in getting the results posted. Eventually, the meet results will be posted at: http://www.utahstateaggies.com/sports/c-track/ust-c-track-body.html.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Selected as the Athletes of the Week were Rachelle Holden, Jake Rossmango, and Chris Jackson. Rachelle set two school records and jumped in to run a leg in the 4x400m relay. Chris won the hurdles and also set a school record in the long jump. Jake won the 3200m run in a school record time, then came back in about 10 minutes to run a 56-second leg in the 4x400. His day was completed when he and Kyle Kelly went on a four mile tempo run when we got back to the school.
