General Announcements - Thursday 9 July 2009

____________________
No practice the remainder of the week due to competitions! Check back often for next week's schedule...
____________________
Please see the following PDF flyer for the AAU National Track and Field Qualifier meet being held at Dayton Welcome Stadium 16-19 July:


The following events are still open for this meet - multi-events, 2000 meter steeplechase (15 years old +), and the pole vault (13 years old +). All other events required qualification at the state meet and are closed; however, if athletes enter their respective multi-event, they may place added emphasis on whatever individual event (example - high jump) they wish while gaining experience in the other events offered. There is no requirement to finish every event in a multi-event, but of you do, you may walk away with a medal!

This is a well run, highly competitive meet and I recommend it. Drop me a line or give me a call if you're interested.

Congratulations to Jack Kincade and Coach Jim Smith on their runner-up finish in the 10-event decathlon at the US Association of Track and Field Youth National Championships and World Youth Trials!

This top-two finish, along with a previously obtained meet-qualifying mark in the decathlon, earned Jack (age 15) consideration for the United States "under 18 year old" International Team. However, there were only 25 slots for over 45 potential male track team member qualifiers, and Jack was not selected.

Coach Smith did a great job of getting Jack ready in a very short period of time after the end of the school season. Again, good job!
