YOUNG WOMEN AND YOUNG MEN
 DISTRICTS CHAMPS!
dynasty \ noun \ daɪnəsti (Merriam-Webster.com)
1.  a succession of rulers of the same line of descent
2. a powerful group or family that maintains its position for a considerable time
3. the Hilliard Davidson track and field program

http://www.baumspage.com/tf/ce/2012/hilldarby/2/2013/2013%20Results.htm - boys

 Every member of both of these teams fought for every single point earned, and the results show it was, again, a true team effort.  It would be easy for an athlete with little chance of advancing to the regional meet to give up.  But not one Davidson athlete did.  For example, a sixth place finish in the 3200 earns three points.  Not an advancement to the regional, but three points for the team.  Two grueling miles, not for the individual, but for the team.  And those three points makes the difference for a team championship for everyone and the school.  There is example after example of this sort of grit on these teams.

The pole vault official remarked after the end of the young womens' competition..."what a great group of kids."  This is the absolute truth.

Good Luck Seniors!

"All in all, I'd rank this right up there with the best seasons we've ever had because we accomplished everything we did a year ago and had a better finish at the state meet," coach Jim Smith said. "I'm very pleased with this season. This team created a lot of great memories."

Summer track schedule updated in "2012 Outdoor Season" section. 

______________________________

The Scioto Track Club summer track schedule begins soon.  The practice schedule will be announced daily on this web page.  Practice times may vary due to facility and coach availability.  Practices alternate between Upper Arlington High School and Hilliard Davidson High School.  There WILL BE Hilliard and Dublin athletes at UA for these practices.  There WILL BE UA and Dublin athletes at Hilliard Davidson when practice is scheduled there.  

ALL athletes, regardless of where they live or go to school are welcome and encouraged to attend ALL practices that are convenient for them at both locations.

There is no fee for summer track - it is "pay as you go", meaning you pay only for your own expenses (entry fees, uniform, which is optional unless you're on a relay, and personal travel expenses.)  There is no fee to practice with the club.  All practices and meets are completely optional.  

All track athletes are encouraged to consider combined events, as well as the javelin throw.  These events are not offered in Ohio high school competition, but are nonetheless highly recruited by universities.  

We hope to see all of you out for summer track soon!
