Sign ups for Indoor Track are on Wednesday, December 19. If you did not sign up and intend to, please email Coach Kieser at fkieser@sja1890.org. I need to know your grade and what general events you will be doing (sprints, mid-distance, throws, jumps).
Everyone should note on the schedule that the dates for the Spire practices were correct but the days were wrong. The online schedule is correct.

FAQs for 2013 track and field!!
If you are in a winter sport, then focus on that completely and hopefully we'll see you in the spring.....Remember anyone for any sport needs to have an updated OHSAA physical (not a school physical) in order to condition, do indoor, or do outdoor track and field. Its a state law. Below are some Frequently asked questions about track and field at SJA. I hope you find it helpful. Please ask a coach for more specific information.
1. WHEN is track? There is one OFFICIAL season and its for Outdoor track and field. The first official practice is March 11, 2013 and the season runs until mid to late May. It is a pretty short season. Some athletes will condition starting in the summer and throughout the fall.
We DO compete in indoor track and field meets. This is encouraged yet optional for athletes NOT doing an official SJA sponsored winter sport (basketball/swimming). You may only do Outdoor, but it is weird to only do indoors - that is discouraged.
2. What event should I do? If you did track and field in grade school, then you know what event you should do. If you are new to track and field, see one of the coaches (Mr. Kieser, Mr. Shannon, Mrs. Garlock) to help you decide.
3. Do you make cuts? No, we do not make cuts, but every athlete must show up for every practice and follow the same rules and expectations as the rest of the team regardless of talent/ability.
4. Will I get to compete? yes, everyone will get at least 6 or 7 meets to compete in. The better our depth, the more we get to rest our top athletes so they can focus on the end of the season meets.
5. Is SJA good at track and field? Heck yeah! We won the District title last year over teams like Magnificat, Lakewood, all the Cleveland Public schools, etc...But lets keep the tradition rolling!
6. Can I try new events? For the most part yes, but the team is large, so if its not going to work out then please don't take up the coaches time experimenting.
7. Do we have a website? yes, www.sjatrackandfield.blogspot.com
8. Have you updated the website for this year yet? No. Soon.
9. Can I follow SJA track and field on Twitter?? yes, @SJAtrackcc
10. When can I start practicing/conditioning?
Distance and middle distance runners. They are beginning after school Monday, November 5th. There will be someone there to run with every day, but you do not have to show up every day unless you want to. Contact me if you are new, nervous, or not sure what you're doing so I can help you get started.
Throwers - Your group will begin meeting with Coach Fidler after Thanksgiving break. Contact me if you want to be a thrower so I can forward the coach your name and contact info.
Pole vaulters - you are sprinters or MD people who also jump. You meet on Wednesday after school with Coach Wolosz and Coach Marquard. Even on early dismissal days. High Jumpers. We will begin after Christmas break (normally we'd meet during xmas break but I'll be out of town).
Sprinters - contact me so I know who you are. We will be meeting after school until 4:45 ish on Monday's Tuesdays, and Thursdays. The focus will be on core, strength (weight room), range-of-motion, and circuits. We will probably do warm-up twice a week and do one running workout each week as a group unless the weather is either too nice or too yucky. We will keep this schedule through to Christmas break unless you hear otherwise.
Thanks! Coach Kieser and the entire track and field staff!

Season conclusion
The SJA track and field season officially came to a close on Friday June 1st at the Jesse Owens facility on Ohio State's campus. The 4 x 200m relay team finished 6th in their heat which was not fast enough to qualify to Saturday's final. For MaryKate Caja, Becca Sedlak, Gab Leon, and Brenna McGrath the experience was valuable and fun, but notes were taken as all four plan to be back next spring and make it to finals.
The coaching staff wishes to thank the administration and school community for their support throughout the season. We also wish to thank the parents who helped their daughter's get to practices, meets, and stay healthy and well fed all season long. However the biggest thanks goes to the entire team who responded very well to a new coaching staff. Without their cooperation, effort, and communication, this team would not have enjoyed the successes they had.
Stay fit, dream big for next year, and crush your finals!

Day 2 of regionals - state qualifiers!
Day 2 of regionals brought some rain, some lightning, some delays, and some cheers. Among the 9 events SJA competed in, only 1 made it to the state tournament, but it was a big one! For the first time in school history a the Jaguars will have a sprint relay represented in Columbus. The quartet of MaryKate Caja, Becca Sedlak, Gab Leon, and Brenna McGrath shocked the stopwatch by finishing in 2nd place in the 4 x 200m finals with a time of 1:43.89 - a school record by over a full second.
In other events, SJA scored points in the 300H with an 8th place finish from Caja and a 6th place finish in the 4 x 400m relay (Sedlak, Maddie Zimmerman, Rachel McGuire, McGrath).

Day 1 at Regionals
The first day of regionals played out as expected...just a few seconds either way could mean the difference between reaching finals/podium or not.
The 4 x 800, missing senior Caitlin Nagy, ran valiantly but finished off the podium in 11th place. The 100H and 100m dash were equally difficult and SJA had no qualifiers reaching the finals on Friday.
Spirits were lifted when the District Champ 4 x 200 team qualified to the finals using their 3rd different relay in as many races.
Brenna McGrath and Becca Sedlak both ran their second best times ever in the 200 and 400 respectively, but it wasn't quite enough to make the final. The 4 x 100m relay team also saw its season end in the prelims by finishing outside the top 8 times.
MaryKate Caja did run well enough in the 300 hurdles to make her first Regional final ever. Also, the 4 x 400m relay team of Maddie Zimmerman, Becca Sedlak, Rachel McGuire, and Brenna McGrath qualified to the finals as well with a season-best time of 4:02.
Along with those events on Friday, SJA will also have athletes in the discus, pole vault, long jump, 800m, 1600m, and 3200m runs. Field events begin at 4:00 and running events at 5:00pm.

First district championship!
In what is believed to be SJA's first ever track and field district championship, the Jaguars prevailed over the rest of the Lakewood district with a total team effort. The winning Jaguars earned the win with a score of 163 points - 8.5 points ahead of rival Magnificat. The district title is not only the first for the track and field team, but it is just the second sport to win a district title at the school period.
The statistics of the win are staggering. Out of a possible 17 events, the Jags will be sending athletes to the regional competition in 16. To qualify to the regional (held next week at Amherst High School) the individual/relay had to finish in the top 4 place. More staggering was that out of all the individuals (each team could enter 2 individuals per event and 1 relay per relay event) only 3 did not score points.
The Jags success came from depth winning only 3 events (Veronica Colborn in the pole vault, MaryKate Caja in the 300 meter hurdles and the 4 x 200 meter relay team of Caja, Caitlin Nagy, Rebecca Sedlak, and Brenna McGrath), but they scored 2nd in 9 different events.
Nearly every athlete earned a personal best in her event, but 3 more school records were broken and junior Brenna McGrath had a hand in all 3. Her day began with a 16' 10" long jump, breaking Angel Lett's longstanding record by 6 inches. Next came the 4 x 200m relay in which the quartet broke their own school record by over a full second running 1:44.90. To end her record setting day Brenna finished 2nd in the 200 meter dash with a time of 25.75, breaking her own school record set in Wednesday's prelims.
Junior teammate MaryKate Caja also had a big day finishing 2nd in the 100m dash in a personal best 12.67 seconds to go with her relay and hurdle titles. Sophomore Rebecca Sedlak exploded in the 400 to finish 4th and nearly beat the school record with a time of 59.55. She came back later in the 4 x 400 meter relay to split under 60 seconds again and moved the team from 3rd to 1st during her leg. Also scoring multiple times were junior Sarah Schwind (2nd in pole vault, 3rd in 100 hurdles, and 4th in 300 hurdles), Caitlin Nagy (2nd in 4 x 800, 2nd in 800, 2nd in 4 x 400, and 1st in 4 x 200), sophomore Gab Leon (2nd in 4 x 100, 5th in 100m dash), senior Mary Kate Chambers (5th in 1600, 3rd in 3200), senior Maggey Urban (7th shot put, 6th discus), sophomore Rachel McGuire (2nd 4 x 800, 3rd 1600, 2nd 4 x 400), and Maddie Zimmerman (2nd 4 x 800, 6th 400m dash).
There is not enough room to highlight every individual, but here is a link to the Plain Dealer article from Saturday's paper.

All-Catholic meet a strong final tune-up
The track team ventured to VASJ last Saturday to participate in the NEO All-Catholic track and field meet for girls. The purpose of this meet mostly is to function as a final tune-up for the district meet this coming week.
SJA had a solid day across the board including a handful of varsity letter winning performances, some great PR's, and a meet record.
Starting the day off strong was freshman Bridget Roche who leaped an incredible 5'0" in the high jump to finish 2nd place. Fellow freshman Sarah Reardon performed well in the long jump with a personal best of 14'8". The day continued strongly as MaryKate Caja and Sarah Schwind both made finals in the 100m dash and 100H respectively. Mel Ward PR'd in the 1600 finishing 4th, while the 4 x 100m relay team dropped a full second off their time from last week. The 400 proved exciting as junior Brenna McGrath became just the 3rd girl in school history to break the 60 second barrier in that event.
The next event was even more exciting as Caja came back to set a big personal record and meet record in the 300H. In the 200m dash, both Gab Leon and Jenea Adams broke the 28 second barrier for the first time.
Jill and Jessica Bresnahan has to sprint the last lap, but both twins broke the 12:45 lettering standard for the first time ever. Finishing the meet off on a high note was the 4 x 400 meter relay team who finished 3rd with a great time of 4:11.

Another busy weekend filled with bright performances
Friday was Paws for Pride day at SJA, so a lot of energy had already been used up during the week and during the cheering, but some athletes saved enough to turn in strong performances over the weekend.
The JV travelled to Olmsted Falls Friday night after P4P and competed against a strong varsity field. Highlighting the day were the field events including the pole vault, shot put and discus. Sarah Schwind cleared 8 feet for the first time in PV while both Victoria Bonca and Alexis Bloor earned or tied PRs at 7 feet. All 3 discus and shot putters set personal bests including; Nicole Zalewski and Ashley Robinson in both events as well as Rita Hanna in the shot and Maureen Borden in the discus.
Saturday the majority of the varsity competed at the Westlake Relays where the team finished 2nd place overall to the host school. The distance squad ran well by winning the 4 x 1600m and distance medley relays while also notching a 2nd place in the 4 x 800.
The varsity sprinters competed at the Optimist Meet at Austintown Fitch where the 4 x 200 relay finished 4th overall, Brenna McGrath qualified to the finals and finished 7th in the 200, and MaryKate Caja qualified to finals and finished 7th in the 300m hurdles.
Next for the JV is a final meet at Woodridge High School on Monday, May 7th while the varsity begins to rest up for next week's district meet. A mix of JV and varsity may compete at the All-Catholic meet on Saturday May 12 at VASJ in Euclid.

A win at Gilmour comes with a big school record!
Tuesday night the entire track and field team traveled to Gilmour Academy for a meet with the perennial Division III power Lancers. New Day Academy, a new charter school in Euclid also participated which made the scoring greater. SJA walked away with a 104-65 victory over Gilmour.
With many great performances in hand, the day was highlighted by a new school record in the 200m dash by junior Brenna McGrath. Typically hand-times are not used for school records, but Brenna's time of 26.0 seconds was a record by .65 seconds making the room for error nearly impossible.
Also winning in big fashion for SJA was MaryKate Caja in both the 100 meter hurdles as well as a big personal best in the 300 meter hurdles. SJA also won the 4 x 100 and 4 x 200 meter relays. In thrilling fashion, freshman Mallory Fahey won the 3200 in her first attempt ever at that distance. Freshman Dina Rini won the long jump, sophomore Alesha Vovk won the high jump, and McGrath also won the 100 meter dash.
The team next competes in 3 different meets this weekend; at Olmsted Falls for the JV on Friday, and at Westlake Relays Saturday for the varsity. Four members of the team are running at the Optimist Relays at Austintown Fitch on Saturday.

Another busy weekend for the Jags
This past weekend the Jaguar track team was actually represented at 3 different meets. The big varsity meet of the weekend was the Berea Relays held Friday night at Baldwin Wallace's Finnie Stadium. This was the first time SJA had competed at this presigious meet of 16 teams and they finished 7th in the process. While the team didn't come home with any event victories, they did score in every event. The top results for the Jags came in the distance medley (3rd place - Audi Farris, Emilee Armbruster, Mary Kate Chambers, Rachel McGuire) and the 4x4 (4th place - Caitlin Nagy, MaryKate Caja, Becca Sedlak, Brenna McGrath).
On Saturday, the JV group was originally scheduled to participate in the Avon Relays, but due to clerical error the Jags quickly rescheduled to the Moose Relays at Chanel. A much smaller meet than Avon, the JV crew showed off SJA's depth by winning many relays and taking home the team title. In addition, senior Kristina Jackson was named Running Event MVP for her participation in 2 winning relays.
Next for the Jags is a dual meet with annual Div III track power Gilmour next Tuesday April 1st.

No word from Chanel
Upon coming home from the Berea Relays today I expected to find an email from the people at Chanel, but unfortunately I didn't find it. With that being said, the bus will leave at 7:45 and we'll expect a 9am start.
We still do NOT know the order of events so we'll learn that when we get there.
Alex Strasser and Sarah Schwind will be competing in the pole vault at the Avon Relays because Chanel does NOT have that event. They begin at 9am and should be there at 8:15 or earlier for warm ups and run throughs.
Be dressed for cold and rain - it may not stay dry all day.

Mixed results this past weekend
The track team participated in 2 meets this weekend, sending a largely JV level squad to the Trinity Invite on Friday and a varsity group to the Stow Relays on Saturday. The Trinity squad found the weather warm, but the going rough with a 13th place showing out of 15 teams. It should be pointed out they were the only "JV" type team competing against everyone else's varsity. At Stow, the varsity team enjoyed success early, but after a couple of setbacks they finished at 7th place out of 16 teams.
Highlighting the JV meet was the performance of senior Ronnie Colborn and junior Michelle Costanzo who both cleared 8 feet in the pole vault for the first time. Also running well was the 4 x 100 team of all freshmen (Destiny Evans, Maria Coreno, Sarah Stottner, and Jenae Evans).
At Stow, there were 2 second place finishes early as the 4 x 1600m relay team of Mary Kate Chambers, Caitlin Nagy, Alesha Vovk, and Rachel McGuire ran a great race. McGuire had to out-run 3 other teams to secure the 2nd place spot. Also getting 2nd early on was the 4 x 200m relay team of MaryKate Caja, Becca Sedlak, Gab Leon, and Brenna McGrath. McGrath and Sedlak also qualified to the finals in the 100m dash finishing 3rd and 7th respectively. The pole vault relay, despite using different jumpers than Friday night, still finished 3rd overall as well.
Next up is the Berea Relays for the varsity on Friday, and the JV at Avon the following day.

Close but not quite
Saint Joes almost pulled off the win, but in the end the cross-river rivals from Magnificat won the annual dual with a score of 72-65. In a separately scored JV, the host Jags scored a convincing 95-42 win.
In the varsity competition, SJA had victories in the pole vault by freshman Alex Strasser, the 100 meter hurdles by junior Sarah Schwind, the long jump by junior Brenna McGrath, the 100m dash and 300H by junior MaryKate Caja, the 3200 meter run by Mary Kate Chambers, and the 4 x 200 and 4 x 100 relays.
In the JV competition, SJA won 13 of 17 events, with the freshmen class leading the way. The following 9th graders won events against Mags; Victoria Bonca (pole vault), Dina Rini (long jump), Bridget Roche (100H and high jump), Kennedy Gore (100 meter dash), Mallory Fahey (1600m run), Audrianna Farris (400m dash), and Jenea Adams in the 200m dash. Freshmen also strongly contributed to wins in all 4 relays. The lone sophomore to win an event was Alison Rogozinski, who won the 300m hurdles in her very first track meet ever.
Pictures and SJA times are posted to the right.

Good Weekend for the Jags
This past weekend the name of the game was Depth for the Saint Joseph Academy track and field team as they finished 3rd out of 7 teams at the Lakewood Ranger Relays Friday night and came back to finish 5th out of 11 teams at Bedford on Saturday with a completely different squad. All this despite over 30 athletes being on vacation and unavailable.
At Lakewood, which was mostly a varsity level squad, the distance and middle distance crews showed their mettle by winning the 4 x 1600, 4 x 800, and distance medley relays. Involved in those were wins; Melanie Ward, Jill Bresnahan, Jessica Bresnahan, Mary Kate Chambers, Caitlin Nagy, Audrianna Farris, Mallory Fahey, and Maggie Boyer. Both Boyer and Chambers (twice) had to secure the victory in close battles as the anchors for their relays.
Also turning in a fantastic first place was the 4 x 200 meter relay team of; MaryKate Caja, Caitlin Nagy, Becca Sedlak, and Brenna McGrath.
Coming back on Saturday, the team was bolstered by the appearance of the China trip students who weren't sure what time zone they were in, but still managed to run well. Despite not winning a single event all day, SJA continued to collect 3rd, 4th, and 5th place finishes for valuable team points. The shuttle hurdle relay team of Sarah Schwind, Nicole Zalewski, Emma Wolpert, and Bridget Roche notched third place metals as well as the distance medley team of Melissa Jackson, Brittany Hennings, Morgan Reminder, and Bridget Egan.
Next is the annual dual meet with Magnificat - pole vault is Tuesday at St. Eds at 5:30pm followed by the main meet at Lutheran West Wednesday at 5:00pm.

Padua meet highlights
It wasn't the teams that stole the show on April 10th rather it was the unseasonal weather that caught everyone's attention. After weeks of warm weather Old Man Winter made a return with some chilly temps and scattered snowfalls. At one point during the 1600 the snow was so heavy it was hard to see the runners on the other side of the track. The starter was concerned the finish line people wouldn't see the smoke for starting the 200m dash.
When all was said and done both teams turned in solid performances with Padua coming out on top with a score of 82-55.
SJA had 6 first place finishes and some other strong efforts as well. Winning their events were MaryKate Caja in the 100m dash, Brenna McGrath in the 200m dash, Becca Sedlak in the 300m hurdles, Alex Strasser in the pole vault, Jill Bresnahan in the 3200m run, and the 4 x 100m relay team of Gab Leon, Kennedy Gore, Olivia Terry, and Jenea Adams.

Indoor State Meet Results
This past Saturday the SJA Jaguars sent some of their finest to the indoor state meet at the University of Akron. To qualify, athletes/relays had to be in the top 16 in the state in their events, in which SJA had 2 events represented.
Senior Caitlin Nagy ran her second fastest 800 ever to finish 12th overall with a time of 2:25. The 4 x 400m relay team of Brenna McGrath, Becca Sedlak, MaryKate Caja, and Nagy combined to run 4:08.24 - just .01 seconds of the indoor school record. The team finished in 9th place, just one place off the podium.
Congratulations to these athletes and the whole indoor team who excelled all winter long.
Next up is the first outdoor of the season at Brecksville High School next Saturday.

Regular Indoor Season Wraps Up
The indoor track team traveled to Geneva's Spire Institute for one more meet and a final chance to try qualifying for the Indoor State Meet. To qualify for the state meet requires the athlete or relay to be in the top 16 of the state over the course of the entire season.
Not only did SJA earn some qualifying marks, but nearly the entire team stepped up to have their best performances of the season.
Highlights of the day included great times from the 4 x 400 team of Brenna McGrath, Mary Kate Caja, Becca Sedlak, and Caitlin Nagy who ran a 4:12.89 and have positioned themselves as 10th in the state at the moment.
The open 800 was also very encouring as Caitlin Nagy ran a HUGE PR and broke her own school record by nearly 7 seconds. Her 2:22.85 is currently 14th in the state. Also running great races in the 800 were Alesha Vovk and Audi Farris who ran 2:36 and 2:37. The 3200 saw senior Mary Kate Chambers finish in 2nd place with an 13 second PR of 12:21. That time is 28th in the state. The 4 x 200 team of Caja, Leon, Sedlak, and McGrath ran 1:50.09 which is sitting 18th in the state.
In her final indoor throw of her high school career, senior Maggey Urban took another school record with a throw of 32' 6.5" - good for 21st in the state.
Final postings for qualifiers will be declared Monday night or Tuesday morning.

2 indoor records at Spire #3!!!
The indoor track and field team lived up to its name by getting a school record on both the track and in the field.
Junior Brenna McGrath broke Angel Lett's 10 year old record in the 60m dash when she ran 8.34 seconds. Senior Maggey Urban broke the shot put record by a few inches on her last throw when she heaved the shot in 30' 11".
Many other great performances, season bests, and personal bests were set throughout the meet for the Jaguars. Senior Mary Kate Chambers set a big personal best in the 1600 with a time of 5:43. Sophomore Rebecca Sedlak ran a great personal best in the 60m hurdles, and McGrath ran her first 400 meter race of the year in just 62 seconds. Senior Caitlin Nagy ran a fast 200m dash then came back to lead off the 4 x 800 with a SB 2:27.
These results and the rest of the team's performances can be found on the link to to the right.

Wed practice switched from Geneva to SJA
Practice Wed Jan 25 was originally scheduled to be at Geneva because we were anticipating snow/ice all January. However we are lucky enough to have a clear track and clear day this Wednesday, so we will be staying at SJA for practice. This will save us time and money.
You should be done by 4:45 (5pm for those doing some little extras).
thanks! Coach Kieser

First Meet in the books!
A new season is upon us for track and field and the SJA Jaguars started the indoor track and field season at the Spire Institute in Geneva. 26 athletes made the trip and shook off winter's rust to get some good competition in.
SJA walked away with 2 first place finishes - the Distance Medley team of Mallory Fahey ('15), Lauren Marconi ('15), Helen Steve ('13), and Emily Bauer ('13) cruised to victory. Also earning a first place was senior Maggey Urban, who won the weight throw in her very first competition ever!
Some indoor school records are pending verification, most notably Brenna McGrath's time in the 60m dash finals as well as Mary Kate Caja's time in the 60m hurdle finals.
Team results are linked to the right...overall event-by-event results are linked below. Congrats to all on a very solid start. Now we know where we are and what we specifically need to work on.
