I'm pretty excited about what we've done so far in. Keep up all the great work. Many of you have been consistent in your training. That is awesome, keep it up. If you are struggling to find consistency in getting your workouts in, come see myself, Coach Kuhn, or Coach Pfeiffer and we'll help you find a way to bring consistency.

Championship Saturday

A nice round of applause to all of our state athletes. Lots of good competition coming from the CV Sabercats reflecting the talent we possess, and more importantly all the hard work we've put in.

Our finalists competing tomorrow:

   Tanner Townsend- 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash, 400 meter dash

   Garrett Wyatt- 110 meter hurdles, 300 meter hurdles

   Ryan Fila, Daniel Wheeler, Embry Simon, Tanner Townsend- 4x100 meter relay

Schedule of events for tomorrow:

**IMPORTANT NOTE: We will also be having Sarah Walker and Jesse Carter from our severe needs department racing in the Geoffrey Zaragoza 100M dash at 1020AM**

Lastly, on a somewhat sad but also celebratory note, our girls 4x100 deserve great credit for a nice job today. They raced well, beat their mark, set a new school record, and narrowly missed finals in a very competitive field of teams. Their season is over, but they showed great effort, teamwork, and they ran really really well, and I (we coaches) couldn't be prouder.

Hope to see you at Jefferson County Stadium tomorrow for Championship Saturday!

2013 State Track Time Schedule

Embedded below is the time schedule for the state meet. This meet is on Thursday and Friday, which are school days, so non-seniors need to talk with their teachers about work they may be missing. I know this can be a hassle, and might not be academically responsible, but if you don't compete until Later on Thursday, or even until Friday or Saturday, I recommend you arrive at the stadium early on Thursday. It's a great place to be with lots of energy and excitement--it will help you to get acclimated to the environment. Almost every school in the state from 1A to 5A is represented there, so it is of course a busy place. It's a really neat experience and I'm glad I get to share it with this group of athletes.

Athletes will transport themselves to the meet, and will arrive at least 1.5hrs before their event. I recommend leaving a minimum of 50 minutes to get to JeffCo Stadium (6th and Kipling) from Castle Rock.

I've highlighted in yellow the events we are sure to be in, and in blue the events that we need to qualify for finals in.

DELETED 1/29/14

Congrats!

Let's recognize some incredible performances!
(I'll be updating this periodically as we learn more about state qualification, and as I remember all the things our athletes did over our 2.5 day-long league meet)
