Spring Track: Post Season Update

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!

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.
