Saturday, March 4th                      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.

BW intinerary

SJA @ BW Indoor
Sunday, July 31, 2016

Make sure you have a medical release form (from BW) filled out and given to Coach Kieser.  These will be passed out at practice and emailed.

There will be a bus for drop off only.  A van will stay the whole meet and bring back anybody who still needs a ride.  We are assuming because the meet is so close most of you will have a ride home after your event is done.  Also, if you have a late event you do NOT need to get to the meet early.  We CANNOT predict what time you will run.  This is a new meet – we don’t know how many teams, etc…are there.  Please don’t ask when we’ll be done!  NOBODY KNOWS!!!

8:45 – van leaves SJA with Coach Kieser for HJ and PV…rest of field events take bus because boys go first.
