Itinerary for Meet #1 - Geneva SPIRE

This will be a quick/efficiently run meet.  The times provided are estimates, so be ready to possibly go sooner or later than what is posted.

The first meet may be chaotic for the new athletes, so I am counting on the upperclassmen to help them through it.

You MUST CHECK IN AND GET A HIP NUMBER before your races.  Do NOT wait until the last minute.

Coaches will not be standing over you at all times telling you when to stretch, when to do accelerations, and when to put your spikes on...there are too many events for us to be everywhere.  We will do our best, but we need you to take responsibility too!

Perhaps most importantly (besides trying hard, warming up, and cooling down)...we have to leave our area cleaner than when we got there.  SENIORS!  You are in charge of our "camp" being clean.

Let's have fun!!!!

Saturday, March 4^th                      Indoor State Meet (top 20)         University of Akron

We treat indoor as a chance to develop general fitness and technique in getting ready for the outdoor season.  We will not try to peak or chase after state qualifying marks.  We will train hard, but smart.  You will compete to the best of your ability, but qualifying to the all-star meet or the state indoor meet are bonuses, not goals.

District Success!

After 4 consecutive district championships, the Jags came across what is thought by many to be the most difficult district in the entire state of Ohio.  The quality and depth in each event was evident, but SJA had their best meet of the season as an entire team to finish 4th.  In all, the Jaguars are sending athletes in 8 different events to the regional meet out of a possible 17.
The lone district champion for SJA was senior Monica Hahn, who ran an incredible race from lane 1 to defend her title from last year.  The 4 x 200 and 4 x 100 meter relay teams both finished 2nd overall to earn trips to the Amherst Regional meet.  Hahn, junior Lauren Zawie, senior Kye Williams, and freshmen Haley Morgan and Timmia Crayton-Prioleau made up those relays.
Third place finishes were had by Williams in the long jump and the 4 x 800m relay team of sophomore Sydney Seymour, juniors Maggie Wagner and Olivia Battistoni, and sophomore Jocelyn Perkins.
Fourth place qualifiers were Williams in the high jump, Seymour in the 1600m run, Zawie in the 200m dash, and freshman Emma Pesicka in the shot put.
The Amherst regional will take place next week on May 25 and 27.  Finishers in the top 4 in each event qualify to the state meet the following weekend at Jesse Owens Stadium on Ohio State's campus.

Week of Feb 29

Hi team!  

It is time to wrap up the indoor season.  We have been very impressed at the work/progress you have all made in our events.  I believe this season has been very useful for exactly what we wanted...some general strength, fitness, and endurance.  At the end of this week is the state meet.  We have qualifiers in 3 events, which is fantastic.  The rest of you will use this week for general fitness, but nothing more.  

Monday - distance at Mastick - mileage for enjoyment.  Non-state meet qualifiers may choose to do a short run from SJA instead.  Emily - hoping you can run with the gang at mastick.
