Arizona Trip 2018/Winter Conditioning

Hope finals week is going good for everyone!

At this point we are looking into flights down to Arizona for our annual track trip. To accurately price our trip and to make sure we are booking enough tickets we wanted to gage the interest of who will be joining us. Please fill out this form if you are interested in joining us (this doesn't guarantee a spot or committee you). The price will roughly be around $600-700 for airfare, hotel, food and the meet.

Just a reminder that Winter Conditioning is on going. If you are not in a winter sport it would be in your best interest to join us so we get better as a team for the season. Starting when we get back from break we will be meeting Monday-Friday at 3 in the weight room.

Winter Track Starts Monday 11/27

Where we start is a big part of where we finish, and we're getting started NOW!

Be there for the first day of Winter Track practice on Monday 11/27 @ 3pm in the Weight Room.

See you there!

HRHS Fall Showcase

This Wednesday starting at 6pm at Highlands Ranch High School we will be having a showcase for potential students. During this time athletics have tables to promote their sport. For track ideally we would have two students running the table. You will get community service hours for this. If you can help please email Coach Douglass ddouglass@dcsdk12.org for more information.

Thanks!

Great Opportunity from Arrowwood elementary school

This opportunity is for any high school athletes that would be interested in volunteering at Arrowwood elementary school to earn community service hours.  There are some elementary kids who could benefit from having a role model during recess to help them be engaged, active and on task.  We were thinking that there may be some high schoolers wanting to get some community service time and this could be a great opportunity.  If interested please email Jenny Lathrop at jenny.lathrop@dcsdk12.org.

What's better than winning one event at state? WINNING TWO EVENTS!

Recap of State:
Due to weather state was pushed to Saturday/Sunday and was ran in a final only format. OUR ATHLETES DID AMAZING!

• The first scored event, Men's Shot Put, Drake Nugent finished 1st! Drake Nugget's state winning throw came on his 4th and final throw of the competition to win by 1.5 inches
  
• The last scored event, Men's 4x400, the team of Andrew Wisniewski, Josh Lord, Jake Weidemann and Kaden Lathrop ran away with it to finish 1st! Kaden Lathrop outkicked in the last straightaway two of the top 400 runners in the state to capture the title - he was in 3rd place when getting the baton
  
• These two state champions for Ranch Continue our streak of 10 years and 15 individual state champion titles and one relay state title in those 10 years

Summer Programs

Part of the reason our team has so much success is working out during the offseason. As the season is winding down we need to begin to look towards summer and how each individual athlete can get better. We would like all of our athletes in a summer program, including football, cross country or track speed camp.
