Where do you stand for state?

Check the data -- we lost some, got a few in the range, and got some others close.


First columns are the athletes names, events, athletes' best marks in the event, and their current rank in class 5A (you want to be in the top 18). The "2012 #18" column represents what is currently #18 in the state. The columns for "2011-#18", "2010-#18", "2009-#18" identifies what was the 18th best mark in 5A for that year, thus making it to state. 

Will update this post tomorrow with data for league, stay tuned.

Liberty Bell results

A couple pretty good, but exhausting days at the Liberty Bell. As most of you saw, it is a HUGE meet; in some ways more competitive than the state meet. We had some awesome performances. Here are the results.
Here's the official results from MileSplit
Congratulations to the following athletes for setting new school records

  • Brittany Reiner for yet another school record in the Long Jump 
    • Was 16-9
    • Now 16-11.75
  • Maya Brown improved her own best, and school's best by >15%
    • Was 92ft 3in
    • Now108ft 5in
  • Nick Stalzer sets another jumps record, this time faring goodbye to Ryan T's record in the triple jump
    • Was 43ft .25in
    • Now 44ft 5in
  • (Update) Brought to my attention today was the fact that Morgan Neher set a new school record in the mile. Sorry, Morgan, when one of these records is broken I'm usually beat about the face and head until the change is made. I appreciate your discretion.

Prom picture open thread


Commenting options at the bottom. Comment away...

Nebels looking fly

Coach Kuhn's best offering to date. Prom picture to come...he just has so many to choose from...obviously



Coach Huber, and no she's not 12 in this pic



I've always said light blue is Martinez' color

The mystery face from last year unveiled, by popular demand. Unfortunately, you miss out on my home coming pic for another year.

It's not Prom, but Coach Martinez did not want to deprive you all of this one and bless him for that...



Only a few coaches left. Keep annoying your coaches until they are all in. Everyone wants to see Kuhn in a cumber bun, Johnston in an ascot, and Huber in whatever you call this. If Coach Martinez cracked and gave me the two gems you see on this page, then they will all crack. GET TO WORK
