Weekly Notes:

Taking care of you body as an athlete is an important part of your success.   Do not neglect the small things!  We have three months left of the school season, let's make it count!

Those younger athletes who will have an abbreviated outdoor season need to start physically and mentally preparing for 5A competition next year!  We only have two returning upperclassmen to the team next year, so our young component will be a huge factor in our success.

Recent Events:

This past weekend was a milestone for John Curtis.  On the boys side, the winning streak at state track meets was extended to double digits, coming home with the 10th title in a row.  On the girls side, the highest finish ever for girls indoors at 4th place, and only 4 points away from a state title, shows the direction the program is heading. Highlighting the meet was triple event state champion Devyn Keith with wins in the 1600, 800 and 4x800 as well as Austin Brown who had a pair of third place finishes in the 1600 and 800, a state title in the 4x800, and a runner up placing in the 4x400.  Also on the state championship 4x800 team were Denton Young and Richard Miller.  On the girls side Troianna Gause was 3200 runner-up and a part of the 4x800 school record of 10:33 with Hannah Ivory, Ashley Wingerter, and Maddie Myers.  A 4x200 school record for girls was also set with Jenna Bordelon, Monet Lewis, Allan Lagrange, and Cameron Goodman.  Congrats everyone!
