League Champs

Congratulations to our Boys for successfully completing a undefeated Dual Meet League Championship. Other than El Toro most meets were not even close. However, what is more impressive is how our boys handled themselves when they were not running. We truly were successful in being better men with C.H.I.

The team we ran against yesterday did not have Character, Honor, or Integrity. When our opponent said physically threatening things, swore, threw Frisbees, ran our athlete off (literally) the track, and did not cheer their teammates on, we rose above their level and ran with class. The entire coaching staff is proud of our guys for doing their talking on the track.

Most of our varsity scoring athletes yesterday were sophomores. We also had one freshman, Matt Krikland, fill in and score points in the Triple Jump, High Jump and ran an impressive first leg in the 4 x 400. I was proud of our senior leadership with Mickely Miela, Matt Mosier (who ran 2 400's which are not his races) Darion White, Steven Tan, and Jon Dempster. Our seniors are leaving a lasting impression on how to run well and how to become better men in the process.

It is an honor to coach this team.

O.C. Championships

This past Saturday was a very good day for all involved in Trabuco Track. Our boys continued to improve as athletes with Chad Rozean running the 3rd fastest time in O.C. Championship history with his 47.89 400. Before the race Chad informed me that he wanted to run 48.3 and I told him that it would he more likely to run a high 48 and to be a little more realistic. Credit to Chad for working so hard this past 3 weeks and believing in his coach in running 800's. Chad skipped the 48 second mark and ran in the 47's. Incredible. Chad is currently the 5th fastest runner in the state!

In other news, Mickey Meila is offically the 2nd fastest runner in the 110 hurdles, as well as 4th in the 300's. Jon Dempster had an impressive showing in his triple jump with a 44 footer. Adam Gann came in 10th in the 100 and the 4 x 100 frosh/soph team placed third by a hundrendth of a second. The new anchor for that team was Richard Gelok II who was also third in the 200.

Janzten Oshier broke the county frosh/soph record in the 1600 with an incrdible 4:20.00. He also won the 800 with a 1:57. He was also part of the 4 x 400 team that came with 2 seconds of the county record however our first runner stepped out of his lane on the back 200 and we were disqualified. Not sure if I agree with the call.

All in all, a very impressive day. Boys Varisty came in 5th! Frosh/Soph came in 4th.

There is so much good that came out of that Satursday. These boys are not done improving and will show us all against Northwood and then into League Finals next week.

Integrity

Integrity is the cornerstone of good character.  It is the last part of our C.H.I. and is a culmination of the three.  Integrity is the quality of being honest, having consistently high moral standards, and the action to match those principals.  Essentially it is when our actions and our words come in line with one another.  As members of TH Boys Track and Field we will strive to be the best we can be as men as well as the best athlete we can be.  

We face a pretty good team this week.  Woodbridge.  They will not lay down and let us run over them.  We must rise to the challenge and continue to strive to be the best we can be on and off the track.   Work hard to get the most out of your workouts and continue to make yourself better in the process.  

"Sports does not build character, it reveals it," John Wooden.
