Indoor Track

2012-01-02T12:47:00.001-07:00

It is time to get serious about training now that the break and holidays are over. If you want to have a good cross country season this year it is imperative that you run track. If you want to have a good track season you need to build a good base of mileage and strength training in the couple of months prior to the season. Coach Barnes will start doing practices on a semi regular basis this week. We will be running mostly outside, so get yourself some appropriate clothing for the weather. Also if there are days when Coach Barnes will not be at practice you can run on your own and go do the sprinter workout. When we meet at the high school be prepared to go outside or stay inside.

Here are some goals Coach Barnes has for you this year that will help with your running.

Be at practice as often as possible during indoor track. Remember that Coach Barnes and the other track coaches are coaching you on their own time and don't get paid. Make it worth your time and theirs.
Buy a running watch for workouts and bring it to practice (an ironman at Walmart is excellent).
Keep a log of your mileage, shoe miles, and strength training (including core work and abs). This could be a online log or blog like FRB, or a personal log that you keep in a note book. Be consistent with this!
Run some indoor meets and or road races as often as possible.
Set specific and realistic goals that you want to accomplish, write them down, and tell people about them. Look at them often and evaluate your progress as the season goes on.
Take a few minutes to really stretch out after each run or workout.
Be consistent! Roller coaster training and taking care of yourself leads to staleness, injury, and lack of motivation.
If you can be varsity rather than JV, and this includes playing other sports, than do what you need to do to be varsity. Don't play soccer if you can be varsity track and only JV soccer, and don't run JV track if you will be a starter on the soccer team.
Pay for indoor and get registered with the county. If you pay a price motivation is more likely.
Check the blog and track blog on a regular basis.

Indoor Track

2011-12-11T16:23:00.002-07:00

It is super important to start training again during the winter and it is time to get going this week. You need to register with the county HERE or fill out a hard copy and send it in, cost is only $35 for three months of coaching. Start lifting and doing workouts with the track kids, and it would be good to run a few miles on your own, or with some friends, a couple days a week at least. Start now! Coach Barnes will be at some of the lifting practices before Christmas, but will start running again right after the break. Pay your money and get out with the team to workout. This is the time when you can work on building your strength and speed before we get back into the mileage.

End of Season and Indoor Track

2011-12-05T15:14:00.001-07:00

December 5th HS Auditorium at 7:00pm bring your parents to this seminar, especially those who would like to play sports in college. I would like to see the whole team out to this if possible

We had a great trip down to Foot Locker and many of you did very well. I hope you all had fun and and it was a good experience for you. Thanks for being the best team I have ever traveled with on a trip like that! And if anyone is wondering what to get me for Christmas you can get me "Psych".:)

Now that the season is over it is time to get rested up and ready for Track in the spring. Indoor Track starts today and I would encourage you all to come out, and I would strongly encourage all varsity to come out. You will need to register through the county, the same as summer for XC, cost is $35 dollars. I would like to see you doing sprint workouts and lifting through December with Coach Garlick or one of the other coaches. We will start distance workouts again after Christmas break. I will occasionally put where and when I will be running if anyone would like to join me. Make sure to do something active through December and not get totally out of shape. Get your uniforms turned in to me by the end of this week. Thanks,
--Coach Barnes

Nike, Foot Locker, and Thanksgiving

2011-11-20T20:41:00.001-07:00

NXN Southwest was a very fun trip and a great success for our boys team and our entire program. The boys took 10th place in the Region and beat all of the teams that probably should not have beat them at State last month. Everyone ran 5k Prs and did a great job representing Herriman. Jesse Jorgensen and Coach Shaw also ran PRs in their open races. This was a very good experience for all who went. Big Thanks to Sharps, Mitch Bronson, and Evan Mitchell for driving us down to Arizona, we appreciate your support! Results are HERE

Footy Locker is in less than two weeks. Make sure to pay your trip insurance in the main office this week and get the receipt to Coach Barnes, if you haven't already. Cost is $6.75. Also, parent permission slips need to be notarized and given to to Coach Barnes with a photo copy of your insurance card. Please get this done if you have not yet. Hopefully you registered for your race too since the price just shot up today.

Thanksgiving is our moratorium which means we will not have practice. You all need to make sure you are training hard on your own. Some of you have really been slacking off and we are not excited to take you all the way down to California to run mediocre. In fact, some of you are on the verge of not going on the trip because you have not been to our practices much! Those that have been working hard keep it up for this next two weeks and you will do great. Everyone, find a race this week to run, and make sure to run all 6 days.

Halloween Half
Big thanks to all of you who showed up for our team service project with the Halloween Half. I thought you all did a great job today and were very on top of the situation. I also thought we were pretty organized this time and although we got slammed pretty hard at the Timp Park stop we never got behind. I hope you had fun as well. If you would like a shirt please let me or Coach Haag know in the next couple of days so we can let the race director know. Great job again and thanks to those parents who gave rides today as well!

Foot Locker
The balance for Foot Locker is due on Tuesday November 1st. If you haven't paid any more than the $50 deposit the remainder is $223, which includes Disneyland. Please make checks out to Provo High and get them to Coach Barnes. The sooner we get the money in the better hotel we get. Don't forget to register for your race before November 15th, do it now. You can go to the Foot Locker link to the left to register.

Uniforms need to be turned back in right away unless you have talked to Coach Barnes about keeping it for Foot Locker. Make sure you WASH them before bringing them back, and get back ASAP before you are assessed a fee.

Pictures: A lot of you and your parents have taken several pictures over the season, but not many have ended up in the coaches hands. If you have pictures from the season, camps, summer, dinners, etc. please get them to Coach Barnes in the next couple of days. If you have a lot please condense and narrow them down to a variety of your favorites and put them on a CD. Coach Barnes will be making an end of year slide show for the Awards Dinner.

Nike is Resurrected and Schedule for October 24 - 29

2011-10-24T20:26:00.002-06:00

Well, life is full of ups and downs. The boys and girls both had good seasons and then choked under pressure at State. The girl's season is now done because of this, other than those going to Foot Locker, but the boys have been given a great gift, a second chance to redeem themselves and be a part of the Nike SW Region Championship race on November 19th in Arizona. I just got off of the phone tonight with the race director and Nike has seen fit to not kick us off of the bubble even after falling on our face at State. I hope the boys realize what an opportunity and gift this is. We have a lot of work to do! We will talk logistics later.

It is time for those who are going to Foot Locker to be at practice on a VERY regular basis. The rule has always been 75% attendance, which mean 4-5 times per week. Many of you think it is vacation time, that time will be in December, it is time to prepare. Be at practice if you want to go to California! Many of you have lost fitness already, don't lose anymore. The coaches are not going down to play, we are going down to see you perform. You should go to Foot Locker with the goal of running your best race of the year there. Time to step it up!

Monday- 3:10pm @ Monarch Meadows

Tuesday- 3:10 @ Rosecrest Park

Wednesday- 3:10pm @ Stake Center on Juniper and Mount Ogden

Thursday- 3:10pm @ Rosecrest Park

Friday- 3:10pm @ Monarch Meadows

Saturday- TBA

Uniforms need to be turned back in before October 27. Make sure you WASH them before bringing them back!

Pictures: If you have pictures from the season, camps, summer, dinners, etc. please get them to Coach Barnes in the next week or so. If you have a lot please condense and narrow them down to a variety of your favorites and put them on a CD. Coach Barnes will be making an end of year slide show for the Awards Dinner that will be TBA in the next couple of weeks.

Race of Champions: On October 29 the Coaches Association is resurrecting the "Race of Champions" at Kiwanis Park in Provo. This is a race only for Seniors! The coaches would encourage those few Senior we have to participate in this event if possible.

Service and Halloween Half: We have been asked to help again with the Halloween Half Marathon on Saturday October 29th in Provo. This will count as a service project for those who still need one for their varsity letter or 1/4 PE credit. Also, they will give the team money that we would let you use for the team banquet, or you can have a tech shirt for helping. We had a lot of fun doing this last year, so plan on it. You will need to arrange rides. Dress warm too, and feel free to dress up!

State

2011-10-19T23:04:00.002-06:00

Well, state was a very disappointing experience for our team. The girls were ranked 4th going in and ended up 9th. The boys had an amazing opportunity to win Herriman's first ever state title, especially with Mountain View having a very mediocre performance, and ended up way back in 5th place. I hope that all of the team takes a look at these performances and remembers them, and never lets it happen again! It is a real downer to see such a talented group of young athletes absolutely fall apart in a perfect type of situation. I will never be upset with any person who puts forth their best effort, but will never be satisfied with anything less than your best effort. I think that Steve Prefontaine said it best this way: "To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." I think we sacrificed too much at the wrong time today. We were like Rocky in the first fight against Clubber Lang in Rocky 3, and we needed to be like Rocky in the second fight against Clubber Lang. Let's do better! We were in the Nike SW Region Championship Race with our boys, but probably lost that spot after our poor performance today. We need to do whatever it takes to get there next year. Foot Locker is your only post season opportunity now, I hope those going make the most of it and prepare physically and mentally for the challenge from now until December.

--Coach Barnes

State, End of Season Business, and October 17-22 Schedule

2011-10-16T13:20:00.005-06:00

State Championships : Wednesday is the day we have trained for all summer and all season. Make sure you are taking good care of your bodies these next couple of days. Stay hydrated, eat good food, get to bed at a decent time, and don't do anything strange that you don't normally do before a race, (i.e. eat some new food, or get a massage, play a game, jump on the tramp or fall down the stairs and break your foot, etc.), be smart.
Remember for those coming to watch, you cannot run alongside our runners at anytime while they are running. This is called "pacing" and even if it is just a couple of feet they could be Disqualified. Please let all spectators know this!

Foot Locker

2011-10-11T20:30:00.000-06:00

I have arranged for a little extra time for signing up for Foot Locker and getting me the deposit. We have about 30 kids going, but feel that is very weak for a team of 75-80 kids. We can do better! I think that some athletes and parents do not quite understand the importance of a trip like this. Again, this is a great experience for these runners to go and compete on a larger scale than the competition around Utah. Experience will help them improve a tremendous amount in the future. We have a talented group of young athletes who have not yet discovered their talents yet. We also have a lot of fun on this trip and it is something the coaches highly recommend. It is a memory maker! I would recommend the athletes go every year possible, it is like a championship meet, the more they go the better they will do. That is why I take the team every year. We understand the financial burden for some families, but this is why we have offered so many fundraising opportunities for the team, too bad that many kids have not taken advantage of them. We will try to help in this way as much as we can. I personally would like to see the athletes pay for this trip on their own, I think it means more to them that way. Again, we have a little extra time for those who still want to come, but I need to know ASAP, and we would love to have more of the team join us in December..
Thanks,

--Coach Barnes

JV boys placed 7 of the top 7 and 8 in the top 10. Varsity boys got all 7 guys in the top 10 and scored 20 points to take Region. Tanner McKissick was the boys JV champion and Chuk Mitchell was the boys varsity champion and broke the course record by 9 seconds.

Top of Utah Camp

2011-08-07T13:13:00.007-06:00

We had a great time at TOU this last week. It was good to see other schools and learn from the coaches and staff at Utah State University, and USA Olympic Trials Marathoner Paul Petersen. For those who weren't there you missed out! The Elite day at USU was also a success as the varsity runners got to learn techniques, including steeple chase, from Coach Reeder and USU Athletes.

Cross Country Spikes

2010-08-17T10:16:00.001-06:00

Anyone who is going to be semi-serious about racing should get some spikes. Make sure you get Cross Country spikes and not distance track spikes (track spikes have plastic on the bottom). Cross Country Flats are good as well, they are the same as spikes just with rubber spikes instead of the screw in metal spikes, and are good for every surface. Spikes or flats are a personal preference. Make sure if you order from online you get the right size. Pay attention to whether spikes run true to size or .5 sizes small. When in doubt get .5 size bigger. Wasatch running Center will give you 20% of your spikes, or there are other places as well. East Bay has some great deals on spikes right now, and a $10 off a $50 or more purchase, you can check them out HERE. They have some really good shoes like the Saucony Shay, Saucony Kilkenny, Nike Zoom Waffle, and others for $20-$40. XC spikes can also be used for track in the spring if you wish.

Top of Utah Camp

2010-08-06T10:28:00.004-06:00

Camp was awesome and a lot of you who did not come really missed out this year . We were privileged to have Coach Steve Reeder, who is the USU distance coach, with us for most of camp. As well as Coach Greg Gensel from USU, and Doug Padilla (12 time national champion and BYU's best all-time runner) who were there on Monday night. Our team really did well, especially on some of the tougher runs that we have never done before at camp. I think it was a good experience for all who went.
