It was a good meet with many athletes getting PR’s in their standard events and many others getting good marks in new events.

DAVIS INVITATIONAL
For the most part, this meet was the best the Titans have ever had. Of course there was one extremely sad thing about the meet as Tyrell Yardley, running his 4th race since his injury at Simplot, pulled his hamstring. Hardly anyone in the stadium saw the finish of the 100m dash as most eyes were fixed on Tyrell on the track about 60 meters into the race. Definitely a sad site for all track fans, not just the Titans. Hopefully, some magic can be performed by trainers and he can come back and help the TEAM. His leadership will be there helping us even if the legs aren’t.
Other than the tragic 100, this was the best meet in the young history of Titan Track and Field. Nine school records were set and one tied. 15 State Qualifying marks were attained. The overall performances were outstanding.
In the Open portion of the meet, Mayra Franco won the 100m dash in 12.76, a school record and state qualifying mark. She teamed with Sasha Russell, Shelby Cadwell and Hannah Williams to win the medley relay in 4:17.73, another school record and state qualifying mark. Rylee Garver’s 1:02.01 was good enough for 4th in the 400m dash. Morgan Costley ran 2:32.27 to finish 5th in the 800m run. Mary Pauni threw 33'08 to place 3rd in the shot put. In the Invited section, Mayra, Sasha, Shelby and Kelsey Westbroek ran 50.19 to place 3rd in the 4x100m relay for another school record and state qualifying mark. Hannah Williams’ 5:10.21 in the 1600m run was good enough for 2nd and again a SQ mark. Sasha ran wind-aided marks of 15.22 to finish 3rd in the 100m hurdles, and 26.16 in the 200m dash to place 5th. Both would have been school records and SQ marks without the wind. Lindsey McFarland ran 58.10 in the 400m dash to finish 2nd. It was a school record and SQ mark. Kelsey, Shelby, Lindsey and Rylee ran 4:13.10 to place 5th in the 4x400m relay. Jessica Pauni was 6th in the shot put (36'06.25) and 3rd in the discus (113'05), both SQ marks.
In Boys Open action, Jamison Nielsen ran 16.69 to finish 6th in the 110m hurdles. Jacob Zaugg cleared 12'00 to tie the school record and finish 2nd in the pole vault. Kuyler Thompson threw 155'05 to finish 1st in the javelin and qualify for state. Dillon Cadwell (142'11) and Derek Gann (142'00) finished 4th and 5th. Tyrell Pearce put on a great finish to run 2:03.70 to place 3rd in the 800m run. Chris Brown ran a great SQ mark of 50.03 to win the 400m dash. Brown, Yardley, Chris Jackson and Taylor Russell won the 4x100m relay in 43.17, a school record, state qualifying mark, and the fastest time in Utah this year. Brown, Jackson, Jake Rossmango and Austin Costley ran 3:35.10 to win the medley relay in another school record and SQ time. In the invited section, Costley won the 800m run in 1:57.57, a SQ mark. Preston Williams was right behind in 2:00.07 to place 3rd. Chris Jackson was 4th in the 110m hurdles (15.70). Tanner Russell’s 169'03 in the javelin was a school record, SQ mark, and good enough to place 3rd. Hunter Naisbitt threw 52'00 to win the shot put in another school record and SQ mark. Tyler Siddoway’s 50.85 in the 400m dash put him in 6th place. Siddoway, Williams, Brown and Costley ran 3:25.65 to win the 4x400m relay in yet another school record, SQ, and state leading mark.
These were all great efforts to reach the podium. However, there were many more outstanding things that slide under the radar. How about the starting quarterback and wide receiver running the 4x800m relay? I’m betting that’s never happened in the history of track and field. There were literally dozens of PR’s in the meet. Great weather, great meet, great performances.

90% / 10% ---- 80% - 20%
Up until now, I think that 90% of your success has been the result of the training and meet performances. Perhaps 10% due to your attention to the “little” things such as nutrition, sleep, injury treatment, etc. At this stage of the season, I believe the “little” things will account for a much larger portion of your success. We are getting close to the end of the season. It is more important now than ever that you watch your nutrition, get plenty of sleep, take care of any little injuries before the get serious, etc. While the workouts are still important, the “little” things become more important. DON”T NEGLECT THE “LITTLE” THINGS!!
