Simen finished 8th in the competition with a vault of 15'1". Simen has had to take some time off from the vault, so this was a nice way come back from injury.
Hannah cleared 5'3" to take 3rd in the morning high jump session. She nearly missed 5'5"!
Sondre and Coach Atle traveled to the prestigious Texas Relays over the weekend. Sondre's 17'11" vault won a loaded competition - Three athletes over 17! Way to go, Sondre!
Congrats to the small group of DHS athletes who competed at the Stanford Invitational.
Sophie finishes 17th in the 3200m.
Hannah clears 5'4.25" to finish 3rd in the high jump. She had a very near miss at 5'6", clipping the bar with her ankles on the way down.
Tazio takes 9th in the discus.
Outstanding efforts by both 4x4 relay teams: The boys - Jeremy, JoeVo, Jayce, Jupa - finish 15th. Jupa finishes with a 49.7 split! The girls - Odessa, Abby, Bailee, Lily - finish 21st.
The Halden Invitational is approaching. As many of you already know, this meet is a big deal for our program. First, it's a critical fundraiser: We collect admission, we charge teams to participate, and make money at concessions and outside food vendors. Fleet Feet Davis, which helps to sponsor the meet, sells t-shirts and contributes the revenue to the track and field program.
The meet is more than just a fundraising opportunity though. We take great pride in putting on a first class meet that allows maximum participation from the schools that attend. So far, we have almost 30 high schools and over 20 youth clubs.
A meet like this requires large support from our parent community. Please take a look at the sign up genius and volunteer for a shift or two. You'll see that I broke shifts into reasonable segments. I'm hoping to get these positions filled as soon as possible.

Note: I'm hoping to staff the track finishline, field events, and clerking tent first. If you feel comfortable with these jobs, please volunteer. No experience necessary. We'll help you.
DHS wins in all four divisions against both Sheldon and Jesuit/Saint Francis. Congratulations on an outstanding, inspirational team effort. The coaches are so proud!
