Track Notes, May 20, 2015
Congratulations to our University High School Girl's Team for their 2nd place finish at the 2015, Class 2A Sectionals. This young talented team has worked through a challenging meet of 17 teams to represent University High School in a manner we were all proud of. These athletes have demonstrated the definition of sportsmanship. So many coaches and parents (and even bus drivers) have commented to me on the talent and demeanor of this team ... Coach Neisler and I are extremely proud of these young ladies and feel blessed to coach them as athletes.
The following athletes will represent our team at the Illinois State Girl's Track and Field Championships this Friday and Saturday at the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL.
Thanks to our wonderful parents who provided water and snacks for the meet, traveled hours and endured two days to cheer on and support our athletes. Thank you so much ... we are blessed to have you!
Coach Neisler sent out state meet info earlier ... Prelims for class 2A begin on Friday at 9a and are scheduled to be finished by 1230p. The Finals for all 3 classes begin at 10A on Saturday and are scheduled to be finished around 5p. This meet features the best athletes in the state and some of the best in the nation. It is one of the best organized and well run sporting events I have witnessed. If you like our sport, you'll love this meet. Make plans to cheer on our qualifiers ... the weather, so far, looks to be good! Hope to see you there!!
And since I am re-sending this I wanted to recognize Ally Shepard in the 800 barely missing the state qualifying time ... she ran a 2:23.82 in the open! Strange circumstances to be so happy and sad for a runner at the same time. We are so proud of Ally and her season she is having too!
The following athletes will represent our team at the Illinois State Girl's Track and Field Championships this Friday and Saturday at the campus of Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, IL.
- Katie Reeves (Pole Vault)

2015 Girl's AA Sectional Track Meet
Dunlap, IL
Today is Sectionals. This is the meet we focus on throughout the season. This is the meet these young ladies give up every spring afternoon during the spring for to work for ... work through discomfort, pain, injury, bad weather and adversity to have a chance to compete for a spot in the state meet. Regardless of the outcome, the coaches are glad to help them along the way. We are their biggest fans because we know exactly how hard they have worked to get here. Thank you for supporting our team ...waiting for practice to end, sitting for hours at meet waiting for your daughter to compete for minutes, listening when things aren't going well, cheering for all our girls regardless if it's a meet/school record or a personal best. Our parents are the best we could hope for ... a huge thank you for your kind words, patience and the countless ways you make this program work! Our U-High community is awesome ... thanks for helping make it a great place to be!
The meet is scheduled to have the last event start at 8:40p. That is assuming no weather or equipment delays. We will need to wait for final results so the earliest we will be able to leave Dunlap to return home will be close to 9:30p. Please be patient .... I am guessing a return time of between 10:30p and 11:00p ... hopefully sooner but I doubt it.
If you plan to take your athlete home after the meet, please remember, I need you to sign them out. I will need a note from your parent before I will allow you to ride home with another parent.
This is the single most important meet we have this year to date ... all athletes are expected to stay until the completion of the meet. Regardless of debate, this is a high school team sport, running a varsity meet. Being a part of the team means more than running your own events. Supporting and encouraging teammates who are trying to set season bests, PR's and qualify for the state meet needs to mean more than getting an early start home. All athletes have a ride on the bus back to school and, if necessary, I will give them a ride home from school if you cannot stay until the end. University High School is the two time defending Sectional Champion and we are extremely proud to have each athlete represent our school on Thursday and to experience the entire Sectional Meet. Program pride and tradition should override a bit of sleep. I realize there are sometimes exceptions, although I hope not for this meet. If you have questions/concerns, please contact me. (One disclaimer ... I did not have any control as to where we were sent or having the meet scheduled on a school night ... we can only work with what we are assigned. As coaches, we can only have our athletes as prepared as we can. We will be ready to go and leave the things we have no control over for other teams to worry about.)
On behalf of the team, we are very thankful for our parents and friends who have traveled so well and supported our entire team. We feel blessed to have the parent support we have and it is awesome to look up into the stands and see a large group of vocal parents who appreciate the talent and effort of our young ladies. They are a wonderful group to coach. They compete with confidence and conduct themselves in a manner we are proud of. John Neisler, Lester Hampton, Karonji Carr, Natalie Wheeler, Brent Seibring and I are very proud to wear the title of "Coach" for this program we have worked to develop. We all wish the best of luck to our young athletes. Finally, our wonderful group of seniors have finished their last days of high school! I want to recognize Ashley LaFayette, Katie Herrman and Danielle Baker. They have been here for years and helped our Class A sized school develop into a Class AA program capable of competing at any level ... winning multiple Invites, Conference and Sectional Championships and culminating in last year's Class AA state runner up! Coach Neisler and I owe so much to these young ladies and their positive leadership ... we are so happy you decided to help us build this program. We couldn't be more proud to be your coaches. Let's send them off with some great memories ... go U-High!

Congratulations to our girls for their impressive 2nd place finish at the Urbana Invite last Friday against an impressive field. We are proud of this group!
Tomorrow is the Cornbelt Fresh/Soph Conference meet to be held at Eureka High School.
Lexie Rowe, Lauren Seaver, McKenna Sapp, Jessica Baker, Ana Tulley, Bri Pinter and Danielle Kinsella will be dismissed from school at 2p. They will leave on a mini bus Coach Carr will be driving at 2:30p to have time to prepare for their 4p events. All remaining athletes will be dismissed at their usual time and the bus will leave as soon as possible after ... no later than 3:10p. Please be ready on time!

This meet will be the last for some of our athletes. We have an outstanding group of young athletes on this team and unfortunately, we cannot place every one of them in our championship meets these next two weeks. Success in track is measured by much more than times or distances. Friendship, sportsmanship, camaraderie, improvement in skill/speed, fun ... show the season was a success. So proud of these young athletes and hope they feel their time and effort was well placed. These young ladies epitomize the term "student athletes" and have represented our team very well!

Bloomington/Normal Intercity Classic
Monday is the Intercity Meet at CCHS. This meet includes Varsity and JV events! I hope you are able to come watch what is always an exciting meet for city wide bragging rights. There are some very talented athletes in Bloomington - Normal including our very own. It will be the last time our intercity Seniors will all be in the same meet competing against one another. It's my hope they all know how much we enjoyed watching them compete, regardless of what uniform they wear. That being said ... Go Pioneers! Our active Seniors are Danielle Baker, Katie Herrman and Ashley LaFayette. Come show our appreciation for their dedication and commitment, and especially their leadership, these last few years. Coach Niesler and I couldn't be more proud of these young ladies as they have helped to build our program through these years. Our program has flourished since they have arrived and I cannot imagine where our program would be without them. Seniors Jaida McDowell, Brooke McKinney and Sydney Kneller have also contributed to our team this year in a non-competition role and we want to recognize them also. Please consider coming out to cheer on our athletes as they compete for a city championship ... it's time we let them know how proud we are of the way they represent our school community.
There will be 2 entries per varsity event and 3 entries per JV event. The JV portion will be non-scored. The top 5 individual finishers on the varsity level will receive medals. The relays will receive awards through 4th place. Medals will be given for 1st through 3rd on the JV level. The field events start at 4:30 and the running events at 5:00.
Assignments for the Intercity Meet: (Adjustments to the relays will be made at the discretion of the coaches ... there are no changes allowed to the open assignments.)

Track Notes, April 20, 2015
Thanks for all who came out on a beautiful Friday night to watch an exciting meet! We are very proud of our girls and the way they competed against some very good teams There were many highlights for the Pioneers ... We placed second out of 23 teams losing only to perennial track powerhouse Springfield Southeast. Our 4 x 800 team of Amber Nanni, Madigan Landess, Shannan Supan and Ashley LaFayette won while posting the best 2A time in the state so far this year running 9:40.23. Chante Stonewall also set a Class 2A state best time in the 300 Hurdles running 44.86. Chante also won the 100 Hurdles. She joined Spencer Smiley, Micayla Matheison and Nia Gilbert in a season best 4 x 200, nearly 2 seconds faster than state qualifying time. I could go through the line up and list season and personal bests for almost every single athlete but will spare you some reading ... The coaching staff is very proud of our athletes and the way they represented University High School!
Tomorrow there are two meets. Assignments are attached: CCHS assignments Oly assignments
Field events begin at 4p with the events listed below. All other field events will follow. Running begins at 430p.
Those going to Oly will leave by bus immediately after school with the exception of the following:
The following events will be released Tuesday at 2:00p
Girls HJ – Lexie Rowe, Amber Nanni
Boys/Girls LJ – Brianna Pinter, Michelle Styczynski/
Girls Discus – Madison Sapp, Jessica Baker
Boys/Girls PV – Katie Reeves, Lauren Seaver
Again, all other athletes assigned to Oly will leave on a bus as soon as possible after school, no later than 310p
Meet notes:
Athletes assigned to Central Catholic are responsible for getting to the meet on their own. Field events start at 4:30p so those athletes need to get there early to warm up. All athletes should be there by 4p. Running begins at 515.
Please be sure to bring warm clothes and a blanket to the meets. The temperature after dark will drop dramatically and the winds may be in the 20 -25 miles per hour range.
Coach Hampton will be at the CCHS meet while the rest of the coaching staff will be at Oly.
Let me know if you have questions ... this will be our last split meet day. Thanks so much for your patience!

Tomorrow is the Bloomington High School Lady Raider Invitational. This is a meet which will have some very good local talent on display. Should be a very fun and exciting evening of track and field. The weather looks to be warm with very little wind. Please consider coming out to watch the best this area has to offer ... our very own distance runners, sprinters, throwers and jumpers included! Just check out the area honor role in today's paper. UHSTF is well represented across events! Nice job ladies ... we are proud of you!!
Field events begin at 4p and pre-lims at 430p. There will be pre-lims in the 100, 100H and 200. I have attached meet information and event assignments.
A couple of notes:
This is a limited entry meet so please check the event assignments. All team members are expected at the meet unless you have been previously excused.
Any athlete assigned an event who is taking the ACT the next day can be excused after their events are over. Support, encouragement, holding blocks and timing splits are just some of the things needed during a meet ... like any team, being there for teammates is an important role ... please help facilitate your athlete being at the entire meet. I have always excused athletes who need to do something related to school and/or have family obligations but leaving to get ice cream doesn't quite meet those standards .... unless of course, you bring the coaches ice cream ... then that's good.
Three meets next week: Two on Tuesday; Olympia Relays and the Central Catholic Invite. All healthy athletes should be competing at one of these two meets. Next Friday is the Dunlap Relays and will be a limited entries meet. There will be buses going to Oly and Dunlap but there will be no bus going to CCHS. Athletes assigned to CCHS will need to arrange a ride.
Thanks to our parents for the snacks and water at the meets ... very much appreciated! Thank you Mrs. Styczynski for organizing this. Also, thanks to Mrs. Baker for keeping up out team blog site. If you haven't checked it out yet, please go to U-High athletics web site and click on the Girl's Track connection. It has schedule , notes, results, team records, team photo etc ... also the standard order of events for meets.
Please bring warm clothes to the meet ... a blanket for the cold metal seats in the stands may be in order also. Hope to see you all out to support a hard working group of young ladies who deserve it!

Track Notes, April 10, 2015
Tomorrow is the Metamora Invite ... we have limited entries for this meet so not every athlete will be participating. Every healthy athlete available should participate in Tuesday's meets. All team members are expected to be at the meet unless they have been excused by Coach Neisler or myself.
Some reminders about meet protocol ... if you plan to take your child home from the meet, there is a sign out sheet at the team camp. It can be very hard to remember who said they were riding home with a parent when you are at a meet trying to keep up with 30 athletes. We are responsible for getting your child to and from the meet and we cannot leave without knowing all athletes are accounted for. Also please remember that athletes are not allowed to ride home with anyone other than their own parent unless I have a note, text or e-mail stating it is ok for them to do so. Finally, the athletes are asked to stay for the entire meet, especially on weekends when there is no school the next day, to support their teammates. Coach and I will make exceptions to this when asked to do so for family obligations or an special event. Track meets are made up of individual events but there are no team sports where athletes can leave in the middle of competition for convenience purposes. These reminders are just so all our new members know what the expectations for the athletes are. Thanks for helping us build/support this team! Our parents are terrific and are very much appreciated!
Meet information is attached. Athletes should be at school by 7:30a tomorrow morning for the bus. Weather looks nice ... remember water, snacks and money for food. A long sleeve t-shirt may help to keep sun off the athletes while they are waiting/warmimg up for their events.
Team members ... please forward this to teammates who are not on the distribution list.
Please let me know if you have questions. I will forward assignments later today. Thanks!
Attached are tomorrow's event assignments.
Tuesday we are split with a meet at Bloomington High School and another at Olympia High School. We hope to have all healthy athletes involved. There will be a bus to Oly but there is NO bus to Bloomington HS. I will try to get assignments out as soon as possible, hopefully late Sunday, so you can plan to get the younger athlete to BHS if they are assigned there. They are allowed to ride with another student only with permission of their parent. I can give a ride to up to 6 athletes if needed.
Some reminders about meet protocol ... if you plan to take your child home from the meet, there is a sign out sheet at the team camp. It can be very hard to remember who said they were riding home with a parent when you are at a meet trying to keep up with 30 athletes. We are responsible for getting your child to and from the meet and we cannot leave without knowing all athletes are accounted for. Also please remember that athletes are not allowed to ride home with anyone other than their own parent unless I have a note, text or e-mail stating it is ok for them to do so. Finally, the athletes are asked to stay for the entire meet, especially on weekends when there is no school the next day, to support their teammates. Coach and I will make exceptions to this when asked to do so for family obligations or an special event. Track meets are made up of individual events but there are no team sports where athletes can leave in the middle of competition for convenience purposes. These reminders are just so all our new members know what the expectations for the athletes are. Thanks for helping us build/support this team! Our parents are terrific and are very much appreciated!
Meet information is attached. Athletes should be at school by 7:30a tomorrow morning for the bus. Weather looks nice ... remember water, snacks and money for food. A long sleeve t-shirt may help to keep sun off the athletes while they are waiting/warmimg up for their events.
Team members ... please forward this to teammates who are not on the distribution list.

IMPORTANT TRACK NOTIFICATION ... PLEASE READ IMMEDIATELY!
As of the last hour, we have a meet tomorrow in Eureka, This meet has been on our schedule but through a miscommunication in Eureka, we were told it was boys only this year. It isn't and we were called and invited at the last minute. I accepted the invite as it gives us a chance for every healthy athlete to participate in a meet.
It does, however, present some last minute logistical issues. If it is not possible for your daughter to participate in the meet due to a schedule conflict, they will be excused from track for tomorrow. All available athletes will be taking a bus which will leave as soon as possible after school tomorrow. Please bring uniform, spikes, warm clothes (it will be cold by the end of the meet), a rain jacket, snacks, water and money in case you want food (There is a concession stand which was open last year).
I apologize for the late notice but I consider it a good opportunity for our less experienced athletes to compete in a meet that is more casual than an invite. This meet has allowed us unlimited entries in the past ... this allows all jumpers to jump, throwers to throw etc ...
If you are unable to participate, please let me know as soon as possible ... you can e-mail me at this address or text me at 309/310-3018.
Please get the word out ... help by calling and texting teammates to be sure they know as soon as possible. If you know someone who does not get these e-mails, please forward it to them.
Parents ... Let me know if you have questions ... thanks as always for your support of our team and our athletes!

Track Notes, April 2, 2015
A short note ... unusual for me, I know.
Easter weekend ... We will have practice on Friday and Monday at IWU at 9a. Anyone out of town or having specific family plans at these times can be excused. I'm asking all available athletes to be at these practices as we rarely have facilities like these to practice in. This week and next is an important stretch of our training and having jump pits, hurdles and a track is quite honestly, an Easter gift I wasn't expecting!
Practice will end by 11:30 unless someone wants to stay a little longer for extra work. We will be finished completely by 12n.
Coach Neisler may be having the distance crew on a slightly different schedule so those athletes need to check in with him at practice tonight.
Thanks!!
