Dominion Winter Track Moves on to Regionals!

The Dominion Winter Track team did exceptionally well at the District meet! Boys won the District meet – beating our rivals, Loudoun Valley. The girls placed second in the meet, and we placed better than we were expecting. Now we move on to Regionals! Valley is putting in their best runners, so we have tough competition. There are ten other teams in our district and most of them have very fast teams. To qualify for states, you can either make the qualifying states time or place top six in individual events or top three for relays. The meet is at Hagerstown Community College and starts at 3:45 pm on 2/9/18. Please come out and support the team! We need a lot of support and qualify for states, and states is a two day meet! Starting the 23rd and ending the 24th at Roanoke College down in Salem, Virginia.

Dominion Winter Track races at the Winter Jacket Invitational!

Dominion Winter Track is heading to Osbourn Park High School in Manassas, Virginia this Saturday, the 20th. This meet races for a good cause – collecting winter jackets and warm clothes for the needy! So if you attend the meet, please bring any winter coats or jackets that you would like to donate! Dominion is racing against 22 other teams at the meet so we are up to a lot of competition! Personally, I am trying long jump for the first time because we have no female jumpers and we are losing points by having no girls compete in those events. I am competing in four events Saturday so I will be completely exhausted by the end of the meet! I am running in the 4X800 meter relay, in the 1000 meter run, the 4X400 meter relay, and I am doing long jump! It will be a nice day for competing – a warm 57 degrees for the high so this won’t be a chilly “winter” track meet! This Saturday will be exciting so please come out and support Dominion!

Dominion Winter Track’s First Meet!

This Saturday, December second, was Dominion winter track’s first meet! It was the David Cannon Memorial Invitational at G.C. Marshall High School. Winter track was just added to Dominion due to the growing success of our XC and track team.  Dominion boys placed second in the meet at the girls placed sixth. One thing I had noticed was a strengthening of our sprinting side of our team. Our distance team is very strong due to the success of our XC team but our sprinting side has been a bit weaker the past few years. However, they really showed that they are picking it up this past meet!

Now, the team is training for our next meet this Saturday in Haymarket, Virginia. It is the Bobcat Blizzard invitational hosted by Battlefield High School. This meet is relatively larger than the last one, hosting 21 teams.

Overall, Dominion Winter Track had a great first ever meet!
