Indoor Track Update – Jan 25, 2010

WSU INVITATIONAL
Once again, the Titan Indoor Record list took a beating at Weber State. 11 records were set and one tied against the best competition in the state. While the records were impressive, the desire to compete and do the things that will make them better prepared for Outdoor Track of many members of the TEAM was even more impressive. How about these efforts by the distance crew: Kyle Kelly, Brandon Yardley and Jake Rossmango (3200, 1600, 4x400); Austin Costley and Preston Williams (3200, 800, 4x400); Julian Alvarez (3200, 800, 4x800); Steve Wilcox (3200, 1600, 4x800); Kiana Tebbs (3200, 1600, 4x800). While I normally don’t encourage distance runners to “triple” in these types of meets, they all wanted to do whatever possible to help make them better prepared for upcoming meets. Many others got in multiple events to get in a competitive mode as well as work on things that will help them in the future. Tyler Siddoway and Kuyler Thompson competed in four events as they not only prepare for the outdoor season, but also get ready for the decathlon.
The following set indoor school records Saturday:
Sasha Russell- 55m hurdles (6th place, 9.05) and 55m dash (6th place, 7.81): Rachelle Holden- long jump (13'05.50): Jessica Pauni- shot put (3rd place, 34'11.00), Hannah Williams- 3200m run (11:52.14): Hunter Naisbitt- shot put (2nd place, 48'11.00): Chris Jackson- 55m hurdles (2nd place, 8.20): Tyrell Yardley- 55m dash (2nd place, 6.52) and 400m dash (1st place, 49.65): Austin Costley- 800m run (2nd place, 2:03.37): and Jake Rossmango- 3200m run (10:12.59). Several other Titans had great meets. Lindsey McFarland just missed the school record in the 400m dash as her 1:01.97 was good enough for 2nd place. Preston Williams ran 2:07.31 to finish 4th in the 800m run.
While the records and places were impressive, the best thing about the meet was seeing the desire to excel and do what is necessary to become a better athlete and to help make us a better TEAM. Keep it up!!!
