Sorry for the delay....
In the first full meet of the season the Jaguars traveled to Youngstown State and competed well. A lot the Jags were running new distances for the first time or experimenting in new field events as they try to work their way into the new season.
Among top performances for SJA was a 2nd place finish in the high jump by junior Kye Williams, a 3rd place in the 60m dash by senior Jenea Adams - good for a school record, and another 3rd place and school record by freshman Sydney Seymour in the 3200m run.
Next is a trip to Columbus to visit Ohio State University in two weeks.

MONDAY PRACTICE REVISED!!!
We are changing the practice schedule for Monday, Jan 18.
We are NOT going to Geneva as it is supposed to be warmer out and the track should be clear by the afternoon.
Here is the revised plan for Monday.
8:00 am - pole vaulters still go with Coach Marquard as originally planned.
2:00 pm - high jumpers in the gym (Williams, Roche, Ridge, and anyone else that wants to try)
3:00 pm - all distance, sprinters, and throwers. Sprinters bring your spikes.
We will be done by 4:40 - please have rides pick you up then. The coaches cannot stay after that and the school will be closed.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but not you can sleep in!!!
Still no practice Tuesday.
Wed early dismissal, practice right after school at 2:00.
Thursday - regular practice
Friday - no practice
Saturday - meet YSU
thanks!

Week of Jan 12, 2015
Workouts for week of January 12, 2015
Final exam week – we will do what we can.
Monday – temp should be 30° so going outside is likely – be prepared!
Tuesday – will be colder, so likely stay inside.
Thursday – final exam day – you will be asked to run your
own workout at 12:15 when you are dismissed.
Forecast high is 25°, so be prepared for either staying in or going out
(probably in).
Distance runners and PVers – look to your coaches for final
instructions for your workouts this week.
I will try to have an agenda for the Youngstown meet as soon as
possible.
We will also try to do something with high jump, long jump,
hurdles, and throws in the next two weeks.
New people – if you are interested in one of those events then let Coach
Kieser know.
Study hard and crush these final exams!

Solid Season Opener at Oberlin - 3 events, 3 first places
The SJA track and field team had a successful first weekend to start their 2015 indoor campaign. On just 3 practices, the Jaguars showed up to Oberlin College with little training but a lot of expectation. The team didn't disappoint as a lot of familiar faces, and some new ones, helped pick up where they left off last spring. Keeping an intentionally abbreviated first meet for health-sake, the Jags entered just 3 events, but were successful in winning all 3.
The season began with Coach Marquard and the pole vaulters. Junior Bridget McGuire won the event with a jump of 9' 0". Next was the 55m dash in which 17 runners competed for the Jags. 7 of those runners qualified to the finals where senior Jenea Adams, and juniors Kye Williams and Monica Hahn finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd overall. The distance runners were next to take their turn and impressed with 6 full teams running in the 4 x 800m relay. The team of Katie Pellegrino ('17), Sydney Seymour ('18), Maggie Wagner ('17), and Anna Farris ('15) were victorious with a fine time of 11:00.
The team next competes at Youngstown State in two weeks.

New Year, New Faces, New Season(s)
Welcome back!!!
Excitement is building as the 2015 indoor and outdoor seasons approach. Schedules and plans are being finalized as the days count down. Both the indoor and outdoor schedules, as they currently are, have been posted to the website - www.sjatrackandfield.blogspot.com. There will certainly be revisions, but it is a good starting point for those of you making plans ahead of time.
New this year is an overnight trip during the indoor season to Ohio State on Feb 6-7. We will only be taking a limited crowd based on entry restrictions, so show up and show out if you want to make that trip. There will be some extra cost to cover hotel $ as this is not currently in the budget.
During outdoors we will again be hosting the Jaguar Invite at Fairview HS. It falls on the day before Easter, which is unfortunate, but goes with the territory of spring sports. We will be looking for help from parent volunteers to help at field events, the finish line, entrance, and t-shirts. The sooner you know you can help, please speak up!
Starting with indoors, individual weekly schedules will be posted. Please note specific event people may have changes according to their event coach - know your plan!! Ignorance and lack of paying attention are not excuses - ask Johnny Manziel! haha
Indoor practices will generally meet on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays unless the weather or school schedule dictates otherwise.
Indoor (and outdoor to some extent) meets can be time-consuming. Bring your homework and perhaps set it up with parents/friends to get a ride home at the conclusion of your event. For INDOOR we do not enforce a policy where everyone has to stay for every event - as a matter of fact we try to schedule on the early events so we can head home sooner.
Outdoor practices meet every day and even on holidays/vacation days except St. Patrick's Day.
For all practices indoors and out all athletes need to have proper gear - we will try to practice outside if its at all reasonable (or even slightly unreasonable)!
Happy New Year!

What a season!
The track and field season, which started with so much potential and curiosity (and snow) has finally come to a successful conclusion (but technically its not over yet, more on that later). This past weekend saw the most successful season in school history come to a climax as 3 more school records were set, 2 events reached the podium, and fuel for next year's fire has already been poured. It needs to be said that if you are one of the top 8 in girls Division I in Ohio, it means you are one of the best in the entire nation - Ohio is that good!
To cap off an amazing season, Jenea Adams reset her own 100m dash and 200m dash records, reached the finals in the 100, and finished 8th overall. Not only is Jenea the first Jaguar sprinter to qualify to the state meet in an open sprint, she is obviously the first sprinter to earn "All-Ohio" status with her 8th place finish. After 2 previous years of disappointing runs in the 4 x 200 in Columbus, this year was different. Led off by Adams, carried by third year qualifiers Gab Leon and Becca Sedlak, and boosted by first year speedster Lauren Zawie, the relay finally qualified to the finals, broke a very fast school record, and also achieved "All-Ohio" status with their 8th place finish.
Junior thrower Brittany Morrison was just one of a few throwers to qualify in both the shot put and discus. While neither event went according to plan, it is an event dominated by seniors so she will be back.
Senior Alesha Vovk, qualifying to the state meet in the 1600 seemingly out of nowhere, finished her race in 15th place. To revisit the comment above about the season not being quite over, Alesha has been invited to compete in the prestigious Midwest Meet of Champions in which the best seniors from Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana square off. She will be competing next weekend!
To wrap it up, below is a list of important events and firsts in this year's season. Indeed it has been a remarkable season - the best in SJA history ever!
* 8 school records were set (actually more considering the 100 broken 3 times)...100m, 200m, 100H, PV, shot put, 4 x 100, 4 x 200, sprint medley.
* the most events ever qualified to the state meet (6)
* the first qualifiers to the state meet ever in 100m, 200m, and shot put
* the first "All-Ohio" athletes in the 100m and 4 x 200
* the 3rd consecutive district team title
* the 1st ever regional title (only 2nd sport in SJA history to do this!)
