WOW....What a successful Jr. Olympics and 2013 Season!!!

Congrats TEAM for your performances at the JR. OLYMPICS!!!  So proud of each of you for your efforts and teamwork in cheering on your teammates!!  We had 5 ALL-AMERICANS this year!  Congrats to the 11-12 Girls 4X400 relay team which took 4th place with a time of 4:09.04!! That is an average of just over 1:02 per runner!!  AMAZING!!  Just for kicks this team would have taken 3rd place at the High School Utah State Meet at the 3A Level.  Did I mention that they are 12yr old!!  CRAZY!!  Also, Jaslyn Gardner made the FINALS in the 13-14yr old Girls 100 Meters!  She ran 12.35 in the first round and that time puts her in the TOP 10 in the whole STATE of UTAH.  If you factor in the altitude adjustment it puts her at #3 in the STATE.......btw she just turned 13yrs old!!!  Jaslyn will be the TOP returning runner next year in this age group!!  INCREDIBLE!!   16 of our 25 Athletes set new PERSONAL RECORDS at the meet!
I also want to thank the parents that helped out at the meet!!  You were such an INCREDIBLE help not only to me but to the athletes that needed it!  I cannot thank you enough!!
I would like to meet with EVERY ATHLETE one last time to go over some goals for the next year and to review this year!  I have the last two days input all the results for the season, so scroll down on the home page and see the "records" link and it should take you there.  I also want to give a HUGE thank you to PHIL who has helped out ENORMOUSLY with the TEAM the last 2 months!!  Thank you my friend!

***One last item to go over.***
We still have one last fundraising activity later this month.  We are selling Enterprise CORN by the Gardner's.  Please go out and get as many pre-sales as you can so we can get their orders in.  If you have any questions please call Ramona Gardner at 435-231-2476.

Jr. Olympics here we come!!!!

We will have a quick practice Monday morning before leaving for North Carolina!!!  Practice will be at the regular times for everyone.  For those of you that will be traveling with me without your parents I need you to fill out a form for St. George Shuttle.  I will have them at practice tomorrow.  I also need all parents sending their athletes alone to get me a permission slip with any insurance #'s/contact info. and clearance to treat your athlete in case of an emergency.  Each athlete will need to bring a photo ID.  Let me know if you have any questions.

*****FOR THOSE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN WATCHING THE JR. OLYMPICS LIVE.  GO TO USATF.TV.  I will post a list of those participating and what days and times here*****

*****I just want all of our incredible sponsors to know how much we appreciate them for allowing us this opportunity to represent Washington County at the Jr. Olympics!  We could not have done it without your support!! THANK YOU!******
