The Davis super meet was a great success. We had some amazing performances by both the girls and guys showcasing how good our track team really is.

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.

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.
