  2. District 21-3A Track and Field Results

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    Posted

    His name was Jake Champagne. He went to Adams State in Colorado for a little bit and then came home to Lamar. Our district actually finished 1 and 3 at state that year in the 800m. I believe Jake went 1:53 at state and Justin Fisk from Lincoln went 1:54 or 1:55. I might be off on the times. My coach came up to me in the middle of the season and asked me if I wanted to try another event because he didn't see me getting to Regionals in the 800 anymore (that was our original goal). So, I took his advice and switched events...lol.

  4. Silsbee students attacked at district track meet in West Orange

    I hate that this happened and no community, school district, parent, or coach wants to be represented this way. I also hate to see that this has governed more attention than the District meet itself.

    A lot of great stories happened during that track meet, but not seeing much covered. Our district has the opportunity to send multiple athletes to state with the times they recorded at district. I for one would love to see the media start showering the public with positive news instead of negative, but the media gives the people the news they want to hear :)

    Great job to the WOS boys and girls 4x200m and HF's boys 4x400m. All times that put them in the running for an opportunity to go to state!!!

    You really think WOS(girls) was missing there 2ND fastest GIRL..

    Turns out I was wrong. They ran a 1:45 without their fastest girl!!! They went 1:43 tonight at district. This 4x200m team has a shot at winning state.

  8. District meet to Regionals format better or worse.

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    The previous format that 3A was doing allowed the Top 3 from 8 districts:

    3x8=24

    The new format is 4 from each district to area and then the top 4 from area. Area is putting two districts together, so the 8 districts basically becomes 4 meets to advance to Regionals:

    4x4=16

    You will actually have 8 less in each event, but I like the move. Regionals has become watered down because you aren't actually getting the top 3 from each district in each event. Very often a kid will move from an individual event to join a relay at regionals so you might end up with 1,2,4 or 1,3,4 or numerous scenerios. Quite often it's not the top three. Also as Craig said, many districts are stronger in some areas than others. I know there has been years where I've had distance kids sitting at home that would have beat over half the girls at regionals and I'm sure there schools that can say that about their sprinters. Unfortunately for us, we run into Huffman at Area...lol. I think all-in-all, it's a good move. There are two things I don't like though:

    1) The area meet should not be optional between the two districts if it is going to be in place.

    2) If you make it mandatory to have Area and it gets rained out, you can take the top 3 out of a district instead of the top 2.

    Absolutely amazing!!! He is already at Olympic speed if he can put races like this out time after time. I know you can't always do this especially because his wind was +0.9 and the olympics was -0.3, but here are the results of the finals in the 110mH in London this year.

    Just an idea of how good his time is.

  11. SETX Fastest 100m

    If you have a GREAT hand held timer, you can add .25 to make it close to FAT. My kids ran that meet last night and the times were pretty inconsistent, which can be expected with hand held. Janice is a fast kid. I also believe it was a fast track. WOS girls went 1:45 in the 4x200m...I don't believe they have went under 1:48 before this meet and they were missing their 2nd fastest girl. I hope they can shave a second or so off that time. They have a chance to win state in the 4x200m with at time like that.

    I missed two yesterday: I have Arizona and Harvard losing. I have the feeling I'm going to miss a lot today.

    Today--really wanted to pick La Salle...just couldn't do it.

    Great group of athletes that have been coming through. I think Earl will end up having a great career and probably better stats. Some will probably argue Smith had the better career because he won the big one (as HS and Pros), but I would gladly be as good as either :)

  15. Area Track Meet

    in SETXsports Archived Threads

    Posted

    It was incorporated into 3A (not sure if it was added in 4A and 5A) this year because Regionals wasn't getting the top three from each district. By the time we got to Regionals, many districts were sending their #1,3,4 or #1,2,5 and so on. Regionals should be much more competitive top to bottom with an Area meet taking place. I am a head coach at a 3A school and I love the idea of the Area meet. I know some of us would like to take our distance kids to the Woodlands Regional Qualifier, but this will make Regionals much more exciting in my opinion.

    [b]UIL rules should rule.  She was ineligible the game should be forfieted.  What are we teaching our girls, its ok to cheat and win.[/b]  Orangfield does not want to play HF
    [/quote]

    Agreed. The world would be a better place if people would just do what is right. I feel for the BC and OF girls, but if the rule was broken then the appropriate actions should take place.
