A chilly morning led to a delayed start of the Rangeview Raider Invitational. Despite the low temperatures and an increasing breeze as the meet progressed, there were more than a few excellent performances from the East Angels in the opening meet of the season which featured about 20 medium and large size schools primarily from Denver and Aurora.

The Boys 4 x 800m were the first to take the track for the Angels. The team of Quinn Higgins, Henry Bennett, Jonas Scudamore, and Corbin Hobert pulled away for the win and a Colorado #2 time of 8:17.48. Among the must-see events for Angels fans this year will be the hurdles. Senior Nigel James, in his first season running hurdles, won both the 110m (14.83) and 300m (39.15) events in Colorado #3 and #1 times thus far for the season. Makai Wilson went 21^st and 23^rd in the hurdle events while Harry Hittle debuted with a 13^th place finish in the 300m hurdles. On the girls’ side, Camila Read went 4^th and 3^rd in the 100m and 300m hurdles respectively and Mia Holloway went 5^th and 8^th.  

In the short sprints, sophomore Amelie Campbell will be one to watch this season; on Saturday she ran personal bests as she took 2^nd in the 100m (12.46) and won the 200m (25.90) in Colorado #3 and #2 leading times respectively. Ligia Thortvedt and Sawyer Voas were 10^th and 19^th in the 100m while Olivia Ellis and Clara Artley were 8^th and 31^st in the 200m. For the boys, Josh Kao had a pair of third place finishes in the 100 (11.37) and 200m (23.35, PR) sprints. Freshman Jackson Llewellyn and Nikasio Brown went 13^th and 37^th in the 100 while William Germain and JaiVyence Winston were 18^th and 26^th in the 200m. 

Scudamore (4:38), Higgins (4:43) and Bennett (4:46) all PR’d on their way to 2^nd, 3^rd, and 5^th place finishes in the 1600m. Ian Logan won the boys 3200m while Abraham Morginsky was 8^th and Merle Hezel was 28^th. Grace Todd went pole to wire to win the 1600m; Sophia Shiroff put in the most mileage, with her 3^rd place finish in the 1600m and 2^nd place finish in the 3200m. Evelyn Higgins was 10^th in the 1600m and Avery Ash was 3^rd in the 3200m. 

Junior Jameson Leigh braved the less than ideal conditions to win the 400m in an early season state #9 51.43, followed by Corbin Hobert (52.98) in 2^nd and Aidan Logan in 9^th. In the 800’s, Connor Beardsley was 6^th, Kai Luna 17^th, and Jackson Gertge 34^th, while for the girls Julieta Ochoa was 3^rd and Amelia Keglovitz 25^th.  In the sprint relay events, the girls 4x100m (Emma Van De Velde, Isabella Raworth, Sawyer Voas, Elsa Manly) earned an 8^th place finish, the boys 4x100m (Llewellyn, Winston, DJ Toppin, N. Brown) and 4x200m (Kao, James, Germain, Leigh) 5^th place finishes, and the boys 4x400m (Nathan Taylor, Hittle, A. Logan, Beardsley) a 10^th place finish.

Out on the field, DJ Toppin leaped to an outdoor PR of 19’9” for 3^rd place in the boys long jump. Lyai Lyai took 9^th in the high jump, Ben Wigglesworth threw for 26^th in the discus and 35^th in the shotput while Dylan Ingerson was 39^th in the discus. Olivia Ellis took 4^th in the girls long jump while Leah Maina took 5^th in the triple jump and 6^th in the high jump, both in personal bests. 

While team place is not a point of emphasis for the Angels during the invitational season, the Angels Boys finished 2^nd place as a team and the Girls 4^th (just 3 points outside of the top-2) in team scoring.

The Angels have three meets in the week ahead: a JV meet at All-City stadium on Wednesday; a varsity meet hosted by Denver South at All-City on Thursday; and the very competitive Broomfield Invitational on Saturday.

This meet will be on Thursday, March 23.

Broomfield Shoot Out

This meet will be on Saturday, March 25.

Unless otherwise directed by your coach(es), please only sign up for one meet. If you have questions about which one you should sign up for, please ask your coach on Monday at practice. Monday’s practice will be at 3:45, even though there will be an early release from school.

Monday’s practice will be at 3:45p per usual!

Sprinters & Jumpers Only,

Please have your splits written down PRIOR TO PRACTICE on Monday. A good place to write them down is on your arm (unless you plan on losing your arm prior to practice). We will not take time to do this at practice nor to organize training groups.

Use the charts below and follow these instructions:

1. If you are a short sprinter (100m/200m) use the GREEN CHART. If you are a long sprinter (300H/400m), use the PURPLE CHART. If you are unsure which type of sprinter you are, check the projection chart, it is highlighted accordingly.
2. On the PROJECTION chart (it has your name somewhere on it), write down your highlighted time. For example, Josh’s projected 200m time is 21.45 (highlighted in green because he is a short sprinter).
3. On the PERCENTAGE chart, locate the column with the time closest to your projected time (the time you already wrote down). For example, Josh would locate the 21.5 column on the GREEN CHART since he has a projected time of 21.45 and is a short sprinter. He would NOT use the 21.0 column because 21.45 is much closer to 21.5 than 21.0.
4. Write down the 50, 100, 150, and 200 split listed in the corresponding column. For example, Josh would write down these times on his arm: 50: 6.5 / 100: 12.9 / 150: 19.4 / 200: 25.8
5. Check the projection chart and memorize your training group number. Get familiar with who else is in your training group (training groups are labeled 1-9 for boys and 1-7 for girls).
6. Be on time to practice and be prepared to follow instructions.

Field events will begin at 10:00 and track events will begin at 10:30.

Bus will still leave East at 7:30.

Date: Saturday, March 18, 2023

Bus: Meet on or before 7:20 am at the big E in front of the school if you are riding the bus.

Bus will depart from the Esplanade side of the school at 7:30 am.

Time: Meet is scheduled to begin at 9:00 am and will be on a rolling schedule. Rangeview will watch the weather and could delay the meet start by an hour if it is too cold to start at 9:00 am. Stay tuned.

If you are not riding the bus, talk to your coach about when you need to be at the meet. A general guideline is to be there at least an hour before your event. Since this meet is on a rolling schedule, event start times are variable, so be extra cautious about when you think your start time will be.
