Update - September 1, 2008

GRASS RELAYS
The Titans first trip to the Grass Relays at American Fork was a very successful trip. With most of the top programs and individuals in the state present, Syracuse finished very high. The top performance was turned in by Hannah Williams. She ran 12:58 over the 2-mile course to finish in 15th place in the Varsity Girls race. McKayla Williams (13:18), Mikelann Wilcox (13:54), Abby Rich (14:13) and Aubrey Eddy led the Lady Titans to a 12th place finish. 25 teams were in the race.
In the Boys Varsity, Austin Costley turned in the top time finishing in 11:24. Jake Rossmango (11:55), Preston Williams (12:01), Tyrell Pearce (12:14) and Phillip Helms (12:16) also ran very well in securing the 18th place finish. 30 schools competed in the race.
Brandon Yardley ran a great race with his 12:24 time placing him in the top 30 in the Freshman-Sophomore J.V. race. Kyle Kelly was our top finisher in the Junior-Senior J.V. race as he ran 12:48. Alex Garrett was right behind in 12:54.
Overall, it was a great meet after a hard week of workouts. Bigger and better results are just around the corner.

WORKOUTS
Great week of workouts. I was very impressed with the work ethic, but more impressed with the leadership so many of you are showing. It’s great to feel like I can tell you what to do and know that it will get done. THANKS to all who are working hard in so many ways to ensure the success of the TEAM.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as the first Athletes of the Week were are “fearless freshmen”, Mikelann Wilcox and Brandon Yardley. They both have been working hard all summer and had great races at the Grass Relays. I don’t know if the people Mikelann threw up on in the finish chute would agree with the choice, but they didn’t get a vote.
