2017 Tiger Relays Champions

Quick Recap - 

Belleville Tiger Relays
Results on Athletic.net -

Although yesterday's lineup went through many changes, in the end we took a small but competitive squad to Belleville.  Your focus was incredible and the team spirit was unstoppable.  Due to the small roster, many of you tripled and quadrupled off of very little rest.  This was not the original plan, but you pulled it off magnificently.  It was a terrific display of team work, with many PR's on the track and in the field.

A special shout out to Craig Latty, who after running a PR in the 1200 and on only about 30 minutes rest, came back to replace an ill Matthew Parran in the 1600. Craig PR'd in the 1600 too, scoring valuable points late in the meet. Great job, Craaaig!


Gold Medalists:
High Jump - Tyson Grant & Avery Williams
800 Relay - Grant, Jacob Toussaint, Williams, Donovan Isaac
400 Relay - Toussaint, Grant, Williams, Isaac
Middle Distance Medley - TC Christian, Toussaint, Isaac, Xavier Hill


Silver Medalists:
Long Jump - Toussaint, Zack Wiltse, Luke McCollum
Shuttle Hurdle - Grant, Williams, Joey Cornell, Hunter Scsavnicki
400 Meter Dash - Hill
1600 Relay - Christian, John Childs, Isaac, Hill


Bronze Medalists:
Discus - Cole Chappell, Harlan Pfefferle, Allan Haynes


Other Medalists:
1600 - Jacob Maas
400 - Christian

Jefferson FR / SO - Congratulations to the 9th and 10th graders who competed at Jefferson on Saturday. Everyone came home with a medal. Great job!!!

Coming Up - 

  •  On Tuesday, 5/25 we travel to Saline for our most important meet in April.  
    • I've scored the meet with a tentative lineup and we can win.  
      • It will take more of the same competitiveness and attention to detail that you've displayed so far this season, but when we execute our best performances, we will win.  
    • Meet Preview  
LOVE THE SPORT - TRUST THE TEAM - 
WILL TO WIN - ACCEPT THE RESULTS
  • Seniors - Start thinking about The Golden Triangle
    • This year's Golden Triangle is the same day as prom.  Traditionally, this is the first  "goal meet" of the season.  It's at this point when we expect big PR's against big competition.  However, I understand that prom is important to many of you.  Therefore, seniors who are attending prom are officially excused from the meet.  However, if you think you can do both and want to compete in an earlier event, we need to have that conversation.  
    • 10:00 AM Field Events 
      • Men’s Pole Vault, Discus. Women’s Shot Put and High Jump. Men’s & Women’s Long Jump (Two Pits)
    • 11:00 am Distance Medley Relay followed by Freshman Mile
    • 12:15 PM - Sprint / Hurdle Semi Finals –
      • Note: No Preliminaries. Semi Finals Only.
    • 4 x 800 will be run 15 minutes after the conclusion of the Sprint Semi Finals.
    • 3:00 pm - Running Finals beginning with the 110 / 100 Hurdles 
  • Mason Invitational - Another conversation to have is one regarding the Mason Invitational.  For decades, Mason has been a staple event for Trojan Track & Field.  However, a conflict was created when the SEC moved our conference meet to the Friday before the Regional and the day before Mason.   Mason is a fun meet.  Although no team score is kept, it's a great opportunity to see how our individuals and relays stack up to other Monroe County Schools.  The meet is usually very well attended and the Monroe News gives it thorough coverage.  Additionally, they hand out several special awards: Performer of the Meet, Track Athlete of the Meet, Field Athlete of the Meet, & Jerry Wing Mile Award.  
    • A few options:
      • Don't go
      • Go, and go all out following the SEC meet
      • Go, but limit events following the SEC meet
      • Go with a "B" Team
