Paducah Tilghman has an amazing facility.  Their blue track is very impressive. 
The weather conditions were tough but we were fortunate the rain held off for as long as it did.  

We left at 6:15 A.M. with all 12 scheduled athletes showing up on time.  
We basically took a fresh/soph team along with Hewitt, Haynes, and Sensing. 
I was extremely flexible with those that had other obligations over the weekend. 


Here are some of the guys we were missing.

• Trey Hardison ... in a wheelchair for the last eight days ... will have his knee scoped next week.
• Todd Campbell ... http://florida.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=538913 ... Todd has been ranked in the top-10 by ESPN (wide receivers). http://tennessee.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=539331
• Titus Hardemon ... funeral
• Redbone Siske ... AAU Substate (basketball)
• Brett Henry ... AAU Substate (basketball)
• Tyler Hawn ... sick
• Kenny Snyder ... studying for AP exams
• Dragus Dixon ... community service
• Etc.

    This was a good meet for us regardless ...

• Thomas Sensing broke the 150-barrier TWICE in the discus.  He was close to 160 on a scratch.
• Thomas Sensing was a double winner as he threw 51'4 in the shot.  Not bad for a guy who has never lifted weights.
• UT-bound John Hewitt went sub-50 (400) in nasty conditions.
• Our 4x1 team ran 46.4 placing 3rd ... with none of our top six sprinters
• Our Freshmen 4x1 team won T-shirts by placing 2nd.
• Sophomore Trey Miller had a monster day with PRs in the LJ (19'3*), 200 (24.2* into the wind), and 4x1 (10.56*).
• Our two freshman triple jumpers, Peyton Henry and Daniel Miller-McLemore, jumped 38'1* and 37'6* placing 5th and 6th ... both PRs. 
• We placed 4th place as a team in a 16-team invitational.

  For the next two weeks we will suffer through basketball tryouts and basketball spring practice. 
Several of our freshman will choose basketball tryouts over track.   

Many thanks to FHS football coach Craig Clayton for moving spring football practice to early March instead of late April.   

We have a JV meet at home Wednesday at 3:30.  

Next Friday, 12 athletes will make the trip to the 20-team Collinsville Invitational (near St. Louis). 
Cahokia (IL) and O'Fallon (IL) are both incredible teams and will be in attendance. Cahokia is the best team in Illinois.
Belleville West, winners of the Marion Relays last week, will also be there. West is coached by Patton Segraves, a former athlete of mine.
