Indoor MWC championships 2010, Track and Field

So today went well for Wyoming track and field teams. The boys dominated the field today, and some of the girls in the throwing events did a good job also. In the mens long jump we placed 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 8th. In men's hammer throw we placed 2nd, and 8th, and in mens high jump we placed 3rd and 4th. So we received a lot of points from the field events that went on today. Tomorrow brings finals for all of the sprint races, and many of our team made it to finals in the sprints. Tomorrow is also womens high jump, men and women's triple jump, and men and women's shot put, so hopefully we can have some top finishers in those too. I am very proud of what my team did today and am excited to compete in the high jump tomorrow, and watch my teammates in their jumps, throws, and races.

Well, I am currently at the MWC conference championships. I competed yesterday in the pentathlon and scored a point for the University of Wyoming. My teamate Jay Petch is competing in the heptathlon, and he is currently in 3rd place, and finishes his competition this morning. The person that won the pentathlon and through 4th place all have a chance to make it to nationals, so our conference is pretty stacked in that event. I am also proud to say that I competed with them and got 8th. I also broke the school record in the pentathlon, so that was a plus also.
Most of the qualifying races are also today, and there is mens and womens long jump, men and womens weight throuhg, women's pole valt, and mens high jump. Hopefully things go as good for the rest of my team as they went for me yesterday.
