We are almost at the end of the regular season of spring track, with only two meets left – all this week. We have a home meet here at Dominion today, the ninth of May (make it out to see it!), and one more meet on Friday at Millbrook high school. After the Last Chance Invitational at MillbrooSee the source imagek, we have conference, regionals, then states. The girls 4X800 has made regionals and we are going to try and qualify for states this Friday, having to get the time of 9:58. This FAST time means all four runners in tImage result for track and fieldhe relay have to run under 2:30 for their leg of the 800. To put the time in perspective, Dominion’s HS record for the 4X800 is a 10:05. The boys relay qualified for states last Saturday at the Nike Spring Invitational at South Lakes HS, where they also won the entire meet. I am trying to qualify for regionals in the 800 today, which means I have to run a 2:27. Wish our team luck!

This Saturday, the 17th, is Dominion Track’s first meet of the season, and it is an all relay meet. I am running a 400 in the DMR (distance medley relay) and a 400 in the 4X400 meter relay at the end of the meet. This meet is at Battlefield High School in Haymarket, Virginia. Unfortunately, it is supposed to rain so it will be a rainy meet. The only individual event in the freshman/sophomore 1600. The additional relays are the 4X1600, DMR, SMR, 800 meter sprint relay, 4X200, and freshman/sophomore 4X400. This meet in particular is my favorite of all our meets because it’s very different, which makes it very fun because we are not doing the same events every meet, because now Image result for battlefield relayswe get to change it up. Hopefully you can make it out to watch it!

Dominion Track Intrasquad Meet

This Saturday, March 10th, is Dominion Spring Track’s “first” meet. Technically not a real meet, we are going against each other to see how well suited we are for specific events. With so many new members, it is very important that we have this because the coaches and the athletes need to find out which events they can be their best at: sprinting, mid-distance, distance, jumping, or throwing. We are having three teams, white, silver, and

black, and the coaches are scoring all the events like a real meet. This creates even more competition among us all. I am very excited for this ‘mock’ meet and I hope that you can come out and support the team! The meet is at the Dominion track tomorrow from 2 – 5 pm.

Spring Track Starts!

Last week, the spring track season started! Dominion had LOTS of people come out – around 175 boys and girls. It is now the second week and the numbers have thinned a bit, now with around 150 people. This team has great potential and I’m very excited to see what we can do! We had time trials on tuesday and we saw some great performances made by everyone. Our mock-meet is coming up on the tenth of March, and is something we call a intrasquad meet. We are going to split our large Image result for spring trackteam into three teams and we are going to then race against each other in all events. This allows the coaches to see the top performers in every event and see which events might be best for us. These meets cause a great amount of competition between us, but that causes us to run our fastest! I’m so excited for this upcoming season, so stay posted for more information!

Dominion Winter Track Finishes the Season at the 4A State Championships

Dominion Winter Track concluded their very first season at the VHSL 4A championship in Salem, Virginia. The meet was held at Roanoke College in the Creggar-Kerr indoor facility on campus.

Our team stayed at the Comfort Suites Hotel for two nights, thursday and friday night, and it was an amazing experience. Our team went out to dinner together and we saw a movie at a local theater. It was great a team bonding experience and I feel like I’m closer with my teammates.

The meet started on friday the 23rd at around noon. The boys 4X800 meter relay ran first and placed fourth and then the girls 4X800 meter relay ran and placed tenth. The girls team was finished at states with the conclusion of the relay, but the boys participated in many individual events.

Overall, I loved going to states for winter/indoor track and hope to go again for spring track!Image result for 2018 4A indoor track championships

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.

On the 27th of December, Dominion Winter Track will be attending the FIT Invitational in Landover, Maryland. This will be the first actual indoor meet that Dominion Winter Track will be attending. This meet is very selective, considering around 35 teams will be attending! Only twenty girls and twenty boys will be attending this meet out of 130 members on the Dominion Winter Track team. The girls 4×800 relay is hoping to run a state time of 10:20 and currently we have a 10:27, so we must drop seven seconds to move on to States! This meet is located at the Prince George’s County Sports Complex. Please come support Dominion Winter Track’s first indoor track meet!

Would you rather have an inside or outside track meet?
