Braves 2nd, Lady Braves 4th @ Green River

Yesterday we were able to enjoy some competition and a little sunshine. The Braves swept the relays with wins in the 4x100, 4x800, and 4x400, with solid performances at nearly every event. The Lady Braves came in 4th, albeit with a smaller team due to music festival.

We are looking to be at full force this Saturday when we leave for Rock Springs @ 5:30 a.m. from the High School. The meet will start @ 9 a.m.

Cougar Relays Information

2011 COUGAR RELAYS
Coaches and athletes, we are excited to invite you to the 2nd annual Cougar Relays.

DATES: Friday and Saturday March 18-19, 2011

LOCATION: Kearns High School, 5525 Cougar Lane, Kearns , Utah

SANCTION: While we are sanctioned by the UHSAA we have chosen not to be a qualifying meet for several reasons. We are an early season meet and do not want to chance one of your qualifying meets on weather and athlete preparation. Many of our events are not state events and most important of all this is a meet to have fun, let athletes try new events and learn to love the team concept of track and field, without the pressure to qualify for the state meet.

DIVISIONS: We will be running two divisions, a freshman / sophomore division and a junior/senior division. (Freshmen and sophomores may run in the older division BUT juniors and seniors cannot compete in the younger division.)

EVENT LIMITATIONS: Each athlete is allowed 4 events per day. For example an athlete may compete in four field events on one day and four running events the next day. A freshman or sophomore may compete in a varsity field event on Friday and the same event with the younger relay team on Saturday. Each school will be allowed only one relay per classification and gender classification.

HEATS AND FLIGHTS: We are placing a two heat limit on all running events. Please register early to insure the events you want. The first heat will be seeded by time. Times are not required at registration unless you desire to be in the seeded heat.
FIELD EVENTS: You are allowed four athletes per relay team. The teams mark is determined by totaling the best jump or throw of each of those four athletes. Individuals are invited to participate but you need four athletes to score for the team.

SCORING: The boys and girls are scored as one team. We have a couple of co-ed relays.
The freshmen/ sophomore relays score three places, 1st = 5pts 2nd =3pts and 3rd place scores one point toward the total team score. ( our younger athletes have a chance to help the team place, and feel more a part of the team.)
Varsity relays score eight places 10, 8, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1

AWARDS: Each winning relay will receive a baton. We will award trophies to the three highest scoring schools.

REGISTRATION FEES: $5 per relay team with a $200 maximum for the school.
(If you were to compete in all 70 relays your cost is still only $200.)

ORDER OF EVENTS
Field events and running events are competed on different days. This allows the athlete not to worry about a running relay while they are competing in a field event. We have found that marks seem to be better. We also stagger the flights so throwers do not have to be in two places at once.
