Varsity Entries

I apologize for being late with these, but here are some more details for the two meets this weekend.

If you do not know if you are competing this weekend, than you need to CONTACT YOUR INDIVIDUAL DISCIPLINE COACH. I do not know every competitor in every event and what time they start. I know who is competing ont he distance side, but other than that, all questions should be directed to your discipline coach.

The Twilight meet on Friday starts at 3:30. It is a rolling schedule that traditionally falls behind.There are a few people who are competing in the earlier events, (boys triple, boys disc, girls shot, girls sprint med) that should check with Bowman about early dismissal. It might be a case of everyone being officially dismissed at 1:45, but only the athletes who need to be there early should take advantage of that. Everyone else should leave right after school and go directly to the stadium. All JV athletes and Mullen only athletes will be having practice with me right after school.

Mullen is a little different.   You need to be at Mullen at least 75 minutes before your first event is scheduled to go off.  I will be seeing the 4 x 800 kids bright and early. :) Below is the official Mullen schedule.

If you are not sure what exact heat you are in, you can go to milesplit.com and click on the Mullen heat sheets. They are too big to be uploaded here on my site. Just match up what "event" you are in to the published time schedule and you are good to go. Get in touch with your discipline coach if you have any questions.

Sorry for the late notice, I hope the clears a lot of things up.

Distance Racing Line-Ups

We have three races this week.

The first race is over at Rock Canyon HS on Thursday. Here are the line-ups for the distance kids. I am 99.9% sure I got everyone listed in events they should be in, but if I missed someone, please let me know and I will make that update. The meet starts at 3:45, we have a bus there, but not back, and goes with a rolling schedule.

The next meet we have is Friday evening, at All-City Stadium @ Denver South HS. This meet starts at 4:00, and follows a rolling schedule. There is no bus, the athletes must drive themselves to and from the meet.  I strongly suggest that all athletes go to the stadium right after school, simply to avoid Friday afternoon I-25 traffic  We have a few competitors there. We have Alek, Devin and Drew in the open 400. We have Matt, Steven and Kaleb in the open 1600. We have Hanna running the anchor leg of the girls sprint medley. We also have lots of field events and sprinting event competitors, but your individual coaches will discuss that with you when we get back to practice tomorrow.


Saturday is prom, and because of the distraction of prom, I like to get athletes in and out of the meet before noon. Our line-ups for Saturday are restricted to two entries per open event, and those entries must have legitimate times on milesplit.com that meet the unpublished standard that the meet directors set. The meet follows a funky schedule, so we ask that athletes get to the meet 75 minutes before their event. There will be no bus, so we ask that athletes get to the meet on their own.

Having said all that, our distance line-ups for Saturday at Mullen HS are as follows. 4 x 800 girls at 8:00 am (yep, that's a 6:45 am arrival ladies!) are Jill, Ciara, Hanna and Whitney. 4 x 800 boys follow at 8:30 am (gents might as well be there at 6:45 too) with James, Ryan, Dominic and Johnny. At 9:50 am, Mackenzie runs the open girls 1600, and at 10:20 am, Bryce and Travis run the boys open 1600. We do not know 100% that these open athletes are in the meet, so we have signed them up to run at the Friday Twilight meet as well just in case they do not make the unpublished standard. We do not have any distance kids running after 11:00 am, due to ACT testing, prom, and other factors the athletes communicated to me.


Between today's snow day, the prom, the early entry deadlines, it has been a whirlwind past 24 hrs to make sure all of this is in. Due to factors beyond my control, these distance line-ups might change slightly, and if they do, I will keep everyone in the loop as much as I can. But, I am very confident that all of the distance kids are racing in situations that allow them to meet any other obligations they might have this weekend, as well as put them in the most competitive spot for them at this point in the year.  Enjoy the rest of your snow day, and I will see everyone tomorrow.

April 3rd JV Meet

Girls Results

Boys Results

I was so proud of the JV kids yesterday. As you can see from the results, we skullcrushed Castle View and Rock Canyon by over a hundred points. There were so many kids who achieved new season bests in their events, as well as qualifying for the varsity meet on Friday. That makes me really happy that all  the hard work the athletes have been putting in has paid off. Excellent job Wolverines!

Final ThunderRidge Entries

ThunderRidge Elite Meet 2013 Entries

Congratulations! The athletes on the list above, through hard work and perseverance  have qualified for the ThunderRidge Elite meet this Friday afternoon. Make sure you are ahead on your schoolwork  and come to CHS on Friday prepared to run fast, you earned a spot on that bus! I am so pleased that so many kids from today unconditionally qualified to go to this meet. We have a strong team this year, and this is one step in proving that. The next step is going out to ThunderRidge HS and proving it on their track!

Great job Wolverines, can't wait to see you can do Friday!

ThunderRidge Elite Meet & JV Line-Ups

Friday's destination - remember,  no bus back!

The initial varsity line-ups have been set and are listed below. According to co.milesplit.com, the athletes listed below have all met the qualifying standard in the open events with marks from 2013 and will be racing these events Friday afternoon.

(All relays are coaches discretion, as usual)


The meet director has softened his stance from last week just a bit. We have a mega five team JV meet on Wednesday. If any athlete runs, jumps, or throws a mark that is better than the published qualifying standards at that JV meet, then I will enter that athlete into the varsity meet as soon as I get home. I will personally be at the finishing line verifying all CHS times, and we will have qualified coaches at all field events getting everyones marks from the field. I will not be assigning events as a head coach, you may choose which events you want to participate in on Wednesday, but your individual discipline coach reserves the right to assign you into events as well. Bottom line is, you make the standard on Wednesday in the JV meet, you compete on Friday in the varsity meet. I strongly suggest that any athletes who are only competing in relays compete in this Wednesday JV meet as well, so we can get times that might get you into subsequent meets.  An open time at a JV race carries more weight than a relay time in a varsity meet with many meet directors.

Again, the above line-ups are not final. They are entered, and those athletes are competing  But, if additional kids make the standard on Wednesday, they will be given the chance to compete on Friday as well. I believe track and field is the fairest sport out there, and this is the fairest way of doing things, so I am grateful we have a chance to reach those qualifing marks.

Details for Tuesday April 2nd

Couple of quick reminders for tomorrow.

It's the ten km relay, so make sure to bring a red shirt if you are on Isaac's team, a black shirt if you are on Kirsten's team, a white shirt for Bryce's team and a blue shirt for Mackenzie's team. We will be running this out on the track rain or shine, so be prepared!

Below is the flyer for the pictures. If you want a picture, be sure to print out this flyer and bring the appropriate money. Also, for the team picture, which everyone is in, wear your uniform top, and blue bottoms (wind suits, sweats, jeans, etc). Thanks!

More info on line-ups for this week in about 30 minutes!

ThunderRidge Elite Meet Schedule & Standards

This Friday we have been invited to an elite meet over at ThunderRidge HS. This is a new way of running meets, with only six teams invited, but all of the teams are very, very good. (Mullen, Broomfield, etc.) We are lucky to be invited to this meet, which is why I am so excited about going.

The schedule for the meet is below, as well as the minimum marks for entry. The meet director is being very strict about these marks, and I back him 100%. The first reason is we have limited time. It is not an all day meet, just a half day, and we need to get done before dark. So we can't have multiple heats of multiple events. The second reason is that this is an ELITE meet, and non-elite marks should not be allowed. I like this idea. Make the best race against the best, and if you are not the best, than you need to work hard to become the best.

Most of the entries are complete, but Coach Able and I will be working today after practice to round them out. We hope to have them ready by Tuesday at practice. If you do not run in an open event in on Friday, you will be expected to run in the mega-JV meet at our place on Wednesday. That meet will be very important for you, as it is your chance to try and get a fast time to qualify for the standards based Mullen meet next weekend.
