Click HERE for UVU Results
Click HERE for Tri-Meet Results


The meets went really good this week. I can't  ever remember being part such a fun and successful meet as we had at UVU this weekend. The boys won the meet by about 60 points and the girls took second.

As a lot of you know the boys team went for the medley state record and just missed it by .4 of a second but as a consolation prize we broke the school record and qualified for state.

On the girls side we attempted the medley school record(Note the  girls state record is ridiculous) they ran a 4:14 which broke it by 3 seconds and state qualified.

Yuri state qualified in the javelin!!
Michael, Clay and Brandon went 1,2,3 in the 400. Michael PR'd
Mckay state qualified in the 400 and took 7th overall !!!!
Weston ford won the high jump
Kene won the 300 hurdles

Kylee took 2nd in the 300 hurdles
Mckalya took 3rd in the mile
Bre won the 400m
Sydnie Rich took 2nd in the javelin
Charley took second in the Shot Put

I am pretty sure almost everyone had either a season best or an all time personal best. Check out the results!

 GO SILVERWOLVES!!!!!

RIVERTON TRACK AND FIELD

Riverton Track and Field Team is looking great. We have one of the biggest teams that we have ever had in Riverton history. This is very exciting because it means that our team is going to be good for years to come. Since there are so many kids it is easy to get lost in the numbers. This means that all of you need to be very self motivated.  Us as coaching staff will work our hardest to support you and aid you to become the best athletes that you can be but realize that because there are so many of you it might be a little hard to show the full attention that you deserve. 




GO SILVERWOLVES!!!!

Inter-Squad Meet

Good Job everyone in the Inter-Squad Meet

Click HERE to see the result

One of the beauties of track and field is that what ever effort you put in you get out. When I first started track as a sophomore I ran a 200 time trial and it revealed that I was one of the slowest guys on the team. I wanted to be good and i was very competitive so I worked hard and by the next year I was the best distance runner in my little schools history.

Jim Ryan was the first high school runner to break the 4 minute mile. He got cut from multiple teams he tried out for. He decided to do Cross Country. He said he was one of the worst runners on his team but by the end of that Cross Country season he was one of the best his state.

Michael Jordan was cut from his sophomore basketball team. Walt Disney was told he didn't have any imagination.

The point is that to be successful in life and in track in field there are a few key component.

1. Attitude
2. Hard work
3. Consistency
4. Resilience   - Not giving up
5. Belief in yourself.

Being GREAT doesn't come overnight and only comes to those that are willing to do what it takes.

We as coaches are very excited for this season. We see a lot of young talent and a lot of kids with great attitudes.  Enjoy these moments, enjoy being part of a successful team, enjoy the relationship you will develop and enjoy the life long benefit this sport will bring.
