State track meet

Wish I would have know that was there, I wouldn't have taken the time to do it, lol.

Well, you did get to inflate your post count.......

Yes, yes I did. And I got to ignore the less than productive meeting that I was in while I was doing it.

When I checked yesterday morning the Roby girl was in, now the D'Hanis girl is in? What gives? No dog in the fight just curious why they changed?

Maybe one of Roby's relays just got stronger??????

What is crazy is the amount of "wildcards" that have chances of being medalist. Whoever came up with that idea, we all know it wasn't the UIL, was pretty smart.

How do they run 9 people on an 8 lane track?

 

[coachjdjones]

It's a 9 lane track.

Sounds like a win/win to me!

They make the slowest qualifier run in the grass.

Question, does anyone know what the mark or line distance to the pit is in the triple jump in our Div.? Some veterans from past meets said it was 42' .

 

[Cline]

In the past it was always 42'. Not sure if they will have another board or not.

 

[JessRoberts]

I'm pretty sure it will be the 38' board.

11 out of the 17 wild cards come from region 2.

9 out of the 17 top times/distances/heights come from region 2.

14 out of 17 events have two of the top three places from region 2.

6 out of the 17 events region 2 qualified 1-2-3.

Is region 2 just that much stronger from top to bottom? Or were there other factors at the other regional meets which could have affected these times/distances/heights? i.e. Weather? Wind?

*note* It was a beautiful day both days in San Angelo.

 

[coach_gillespie]

On the boys side that is......

 

[Shad Kline]

Guess we will find out friday. That's the cool thing about track. The qualifier may be wind aided, but when they race at state, they all run at the same time on the same track. But...... Region 2 is probably a little stronger this year. Or maybe a lot stronger.

Wonder which region had the best medal count or overall showing.

Good job to everyone that participated!

And the state champs, boys and girls, came from region 1.

 

[Coach Fouts]

State Champs boys and Girls came from the same District

After some number crunching---here's the breakdown:

Medal Count

Region 1:

Gold: 4
Silver: 10
Bronze: 5
Total: 19 medals

Region 2:

Gold: 8
Silver: 6
Bronze: 9
Total: 21 medals

Region 3:

Gold: 2
Silver: 0
Bronze: 2
Total: 4 medals

Region 4:

Gold: 3
Silver: 1
Bronze: 1
Total: 5 medals

As far as the medal count turns out, region 2 looks to reign supreme. However as far as both state champions coming from Region 1, looks like they have the winner winner chicken dinner there.

Broken down even further, lets take a look at all points scored in the entire boys side of the track meet.

Region 1: 234.33 pts
Region 2: 263.33 pts
Region 3: 48.33 pts
Region 4: 68 pts

Region 2 still reigns supreme here. I guess if you look at it top to bottom, region 2 does have bragging rights this year! (even though both state champions come from Region 1.) And now the debate between whether track and field is a team sport or an individual sport really begins! haha

come on East Texas...step your game up!

If I have time, I will do the same for the girls side of the meet.

Region 3:

Region 2: 194pts
Region 3: 111pts
Region 4: 154pts

Much more even on the girls side...still Region 2 remains the champ!

The Boys Broken down just a little bit further.

Region 1:
Field Events: 4 Medals
Running: 15 Medals

Region 2:
Field Events: 10 Medals
Running: 13 Medals

Region 3:
Field Events: 1 Medals
Running: 3 Medals

Region 4:

So, is it safe to say that region 1 has the better runners (or "Reign Supreme")?
