Jeff is leading the State!

Jeff had two track meets this past week and we finally had some good weather for the 2nd meet. His meet on Thursday was in Gooding. He had a good day in what felt like near-hurricane conditions. The wind was blowing hard and it was only 41 degrees (5 c.) He threw 140' 4" (42.77m) and won. At that point in time, he had the 3rd longest throw in the State for 1A schools. To that point in the season, he had not been pushed at all.

He came back on Friday night at the largest invitational met in the state with the top 24 throwers from every division. He came in seeded 15th. He took 7th. More importantly, he threw a new PR - 146' 4" (44.60m) and is now the #1 discus thrower in the state for 1A schools. We are really looking forward to the State Meet. We are hoping to build on this past weekend and improve some more.

Remember everyone - Friday, May 23rd, at Boise State University, at 10:30am. Everyone get t-shirt suggestions and sizes to me no later than this coming Friday, May 2nd, so we can get them all produced.
