Important announcements
"West Ranch on way to State Finals"
Friday 27th saw three athletes from West Ranch compete in the Masters Meet at Cerritos College. This is the last leg on the road to State Finals in Clovis.
In the shot, Breeann Braucher threw well but failed to advance by a mere 2.75 inches.
In the 800m which was expected to be a highlight of the track events as 11 of the twelve girls were separated by only 3 seconds...
Both Jen Owen and Ashley Welker advanced, both set new PRs and Jen set another new school record.
Last year we got one athlete to State Finals, this year we have two...next year..??
Well done girls !!!
Coach Saville
1) " Like the three Musketeers our girls march on through CIF Finals"
The road to a Track and Field State final meet is a very long and laborious one. It is a seven step process, league prelims, league finals, CIF prelims, CIF finals, masters meet, state prelims, state final.
Three of our girls advanced yesterday to the masters meet this coming Friday. Ashley Welker and Jennifer Owen in the 800m and Breeann Braucher in the shot.
This is no easy passage, the Southern Section of CIF is the toughest in the State, ask Ashley Welker who had to PR and break the school record on her way to qualifying.
Go Girls !!!
2) " West Ranch coach wins prestigious Mt SAC award."
Coach Saville was surprised to be handed the Mt SAC Distance Coach of the Year award while at CIF Finals. Although any coach needs gifted and hard working athletes to be successful it was nice that after two exceptionally good years of distance competition from the West Ranch Track girls the program is being recognized by those outside the district.
Thanks to all those girls that worked so hard when I pushed them !!

Many thanks to all who attended our end of season celebration last night in the warmth of the large gym. Thanks also for your patience and understanding given that this was a very last minute change. I hope everyone enjoyed the wonderful catering and we did our best to keep things moving. It is always tough to say goodbye to those Seniors but we hope they will come back and see us from time to time, or even to come back and help coach other potential champions.
We had a very successful year and it was good to end it as a group, as a team with Athletes, Parents and Coaches sharing the last hoorah of 2011.
I cannot finish without saying a massive thank you to those parents and coaches who cleaned up in truly sprinter fashion, when clearing a banquet becomes an olympic event, we will be there.
We will be back next season, stronger, fitter, more aggressive and more competitive.
Thanks everyone !!!!

Foothill League Prelims and Finals
The Prelims and Finals for our League take place at C.O.C Tuesday 3rd May and Friday 6th May. This is a wonderful opportunity to compete against the best in our very strong Foothill League.
The format is as follows:
Track events other than the Varsity 3200m will have prelims Tuesday and Finals Friday. Winner of the Finals advances to CIF Prelims as do the 2nd and 3rd places if they make the qualifying time. There is
also an "At Large" time which, if met, qualifies for CIF Prelims. "At Large" provides an opportunity for those outside of the first three places to advance if there was a particularly high standard final.
Fesh/Soph and JV 3200m is a straight Final on Tuesday.
Fresh/Soph and JV Field events are also a straight Final on Tuesday.
Friday competition comprises:
Finals for all track events including the 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 except Fresh/Soph and JV 3200m
Finals for all Varsity Field events.
Times - Tuesday, Field Events commence at 1:00pm and Track at 2:00pm. Class release for those athletes competing Tuesday will be 11:30am, buses leave at 12:00.

Track and Field Team Banquet
This wonderful celebration of our season will take place on Monday 16th May, commencing at 7:00pm.
Catering will again be provided by "StoneFire Grill" and we will be set up using the outside auditorium.
As a result of our other fundraising efforts we are able to keep ticket costs for this event to a minimum at $5 a head, athletes and parents. Where else in town can one feast in the open air for such a meagre amount?
Tickets will be available from me all next week, at the track and at League Prelims and Finals.

"HOT HOT NEWS - West Ranch wins Overall Girls Distance Trophy at Mt SAC"
At the recent Mt SAC Relays, the meet that attracts teams from all over the state and country West Ranch comes away with a major trophy.
Trophies are awarded for various combined events such as sprints and distance races and points are awarded for all of the races in that category. At the end of the 2 days the scores are totaled and the winner walks away with a plague.
After 2 days of very competitive hard fought racing we knew we were in contention but believed we had to do well in the DMR to take the trophy.
The DMR team ran within seconds of its seasons' best but against such tough competition we thought it not enough.
OK, blame the coach, occasionally he does get it wrong as evidenced by an email from the organizers, after a prompt to me from a parent who had heard the announcement on the streaming video.
Congratulations to all the Mt SAC athletes in no particular order.....Jen Owen, Maggie and Sam Phillips, Ashley and Taylor Welker and Kendahl Waalk.
Great job girls !!!!!!

"West Ranch shines again under the lights and the sun"
Friday 8th and Saturday 9th of April saw a select bunch of girls competing at the very competitive Arcadia Invitational meet. This meet, which attracts athletes from all over the country, is one of the most prestigious in Southern California.
Our girls really turned on a display of power, determination and competitive spirit.
Friday night saw our Varsity 4 x 800 team post a very creditable time of 9 mins 32 secs and a 4th place which will move them up in the top 15 state rankings.
Saturday saw Jennifer Owen double up in the open 1 Mile and open 800m. Of the 45 runners entered in the mile Jen managed an excellent 4th place followed up by an impressive win at the 800 with a seasons best time.
Ashley Welker also ran the 800 and finished a very good 9th with a seasons best time.
Later in the afternoon Breeann Braucher competed in the shot and narrowly missed a top 10 placing.
The evening session under the lights saw our Girls Varsity Distance Medley Relay team hold their own in a very tough race and post a time less than half a second outside their best.
Just shows, we can more than hold our own and compete with the best !!!!

" Records tumbling for 2nd successive year"
We all thought that last year was a great one with something like 40 school records being set. Well here we are about half way through our competitive season and the count stands at 17 new records. This doesn't include the records that have been broken multiple times like the Boys Fresh/Soph 4 x 800m which was broken last Saturday for the 4th, yes 4th, time this season.
We may be a smaller squad this year but certainly no less successful !!!
"Thank You"
Big thank you to all those parents that volunteered to help at our first home meet against Valencia. We had a great meet, well run, great concessions, great spirit wear for sale and just all around an admirable event.
I hope we can count on you all being a part of our success again on April 14th when we host Golden Valley.

"Girls Varsity Distance Medley Relay opens season with 6th fastest time in State"
On 5th March at the Santa Clarita Invitational meet held at Canyon High School the time, 12:44.80 posted by our Varsity Distance team of Welker T, Moskal, Owen and Welker A was, as of 3/13/2011, the 6th fastest in the State.
The record for the year to date is held by Saugus with a time of 12:24.62, a time easily attainable by our talented pool of athletes.
We fully expect to improve on our time significantly at the California Relays this coming weekend.

Internal Meet - We have decided to postpone this event as it clashes with SAT testing. We will reschedule if possible.
TRACK TRY-OUTS, RESULTS AND INFO
After 9 days of try-outs and evaluation of some 208 athletes we, the coaching team, are pleased to announce the athletes that have made the team for the forthcoming season. This has been a very difficult process as, in our hearts, we want to give a place to every athlete but reality is, we only have so many coaches and so much track space.
For those of you that have made the team we expect hard work, commitment and passion along with a strong desire to achieve, not only for yourself but for your teammates.
For those that didn't make the team, thanks for trying.
Hurdlers, Pole Vaulters, High, Long and Triple Jumpers - once the season begins on 10th January, you will have two weeks in order to prove you have the ability to become a competitive athlete. This two week period is your probationary time.
Parents - there will be a Parents Meeting during December, date to be confirmed. This meeting is important, at this meeting we will discuss the coming season, review the try-out period, require orders for uniforms etc for those that are already confirmed onto the team and issue all the other required documentation. We will be taking payment for the Spirit Pack and other expenses. Athlete costs are likely to be in the order of $225.00.
