Banquet Reminder!

Our annual Banquet is being held at the Middle School Cafeteria on Thursday night May 22 at 6:30. Athletes you should come dressed very nicely, I would really appreciate it. This banquet will probably be a Track banquet as the Baseball team had to make other plans, so I am going to talk your leg off have hopefully have some great times. Can't wait to see you there.

No 'All-Staters' but some good performances

Well we didn't get Zach or Miranda to become all-staters, but they did preform like champions in my book. Miranda finished 12th with the second best throw of her life, great job Randi. Zach had an awesome race in the 3200 Friday night and bettered his PR by 22 seconds to 10:08, any other year this would have made him all state in Class 2, this time would have won class 1. Zach had two races on Saturday including the 1600, and the 800. Zach ran a pretty good race for 3 laps them locked up and couldn't progress any more, he ended up 11. The 800 was the heartbreak race, going around the 200 meter mark in the 800, someone tripped him up and he landed on his shoulder, but knowing Zach, he got back up and finished the race. Good job Zach.

To Miranda and Zach, I am proud of each one of you, you did a great job this weekend. You represented the school and yourself very well. Thank you for all that you have done.

Updated times!

Just to update some times for the State Meet this Friday and Saturday. Miranda will throw the shot put at 11 o'clock Friday morning and Zach will run the 3200M at 5:30. On Saturday, Zach will run the 1600M at 1:40 and the 800M at 2:55. I hope to see you there supporting our athletes. The cost is $7 to get in each day, man that sounds like highway robbery. Good luck to the athletes. Coach Love

Miranda and Zach are going to state!

A big congrats go out to Miranda and Zach finishing in the top four at the sectional meet on Saturday. Miranda went into the meet seeded 3rd and came out in the #2 spot. You go girl! She will throw at 11 o'clock on Friday. Zach qualified for three events on Saturday. He will run the 3200 on Friday afternoon, and will run the 1600 and 800 on Saturday afternoon. I will have the times available latter on. I also want to say congrats to the 4x800 relay team for breaking their own record again. Calla, Sarah, Katie, and Allie have set the record to 10:33. I would like to send out a 'Great Job' to all of the other athletes that competed this weekend. If I am not mistaken, almost all of the athletes had a season best on saturday which is what you want, but things just did not work into thier favor. You guys had a great season. More information will be available this afternoon. Thanks for checking up on us

WOW! What a district meet!

Wow what a day! I must say that in the 8 years that I have been coaching track and field, this was the most fun I have had at a district meet. Our girls finished 2nd behind Blair Oaks. Congratulations Girls. Huge congratulations go out to Miranda Loesch, who won the Shot Put today with a NEW SCHOOL RECORD of 35'5". Congratulations Randi, you deserve it! We had some amazing races today, most of our girls we brought to the meet today get to run another day at sectionals. Without further ado, her are the top eight finishers at districts, the top four are all district and get to compete at sectionals next Saturday.

Well its about to get exciting.

Tomorrow we start out post season! We have been picked by mo.milesplit.us to finish #2 in our district behind Blair Oaks, and if all goes well we should live up to those if not surpass them. I can't wait to unleash the beast within ourselves. I think we have a great chance at doing awesome tomorrow. Come out and see the action. We will not fail you. Hopefully I will get to make a few more posts on our new blog. Please comment on the blog, tell me what you like and what you don't like about it. If you don't want to leave a comment please email me at loves@cole.k12.mo.us Hope to see you all out at the track.
