[Ryan Denton @OlneyTigerTrack]

The greatest team in the history of Olney Tiger Track and Field.

We capped off a storybook season with 8 medals, 6 all-state performances, and 2 school records. 1 point/.06 seconds off a team trophy.

They love each other, and I love them. Sad it’s over, but so, so grateful⚡️

@AltamontXCTF @OVRPerformance Olney is now rocking some OVR… I am married to Musclelab, but our PE and middle school have taken the plunge. It will be a great addition just for the accessibility and ease of use for those groups.

@THS_trackfield Ridiculously impressive accomplishment. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

One of my favorite things to emerge from my 1st season of using XCStats: I get to customize scoring & run all-time reports.
We send our "JV" guys to duals & smaller invites. Nice to parse our JV/Varsity scoring however I want. I've now got an all-time list dating back to 2013.

Here is the evolution of 4x1 times (boys) required to make the finals at the IHSA State Meet since 2009 (entire history of our three-class system).

Enrollments
1A: under 450
2A: 450-1250
3A: over 1250

These are 9th-place times from prelims (9-lane track).

The track season always has to end at some point.

Rarely does it end on a high note. But whether it’s the thrill of victory or the agony of a tough race, the journey is worth remembering.

I choose to dwell on the great moments of this season.

I’m a proud coach.

[Ryan Denton @OlneyTigerTrack]

@BWestboysTNF Congrats to you guys! Been telling our kids all year you had a great chance to bring home some hardware. Your crew was phenomenal everywhere we saw you this spring.

[Ryan Denton @OlneyTigerTrack]

@BremenXCTrack Same to you guys. Keep up the great work Coach!!!

[Ryan Denton @OlneyTigerTrack]

Our season without a track comes to a close with a 12th place finish. Proud of all our guys. They never complained. They just competed.

Time for some rest… and then we look forward to a new era in a new home. ⚡️

[Ryan Denton @OlneyTigerTrack]

@mbaxter091 Great stuff as always, Mike. Appreciate all that you do!

@THS_trackfield Not exaggerating when I say I was heartbroken for you guys (and Rochester, too).

You guys had an incredible season, and today doesn’t change that… but today is one of those days when your kids are so fortunate to have a coach like you to be there for them.

Gavyn Cothern adds to his historic resume. 3rd time he’s finished silver or better in an individual event. 7th all-state medal of his career. HJ still go.

Left off our 4th Tiger competing Saturday, Judah Dicks in heat 2 of the 3200… a great race from him could make some noise.⚡️

[Ryan Denton @OlneyTigerTrack]

3 Tigers (in 5 total events) advance to Championship Saturday.

3rd straight year w/ at least 3 finalists in the jumps (Cothern, LJ/HJ & Root, HJ).

Quaid Berger dropped a new school record (4:16) in the 1600m on his way to the finals. He's also got big plans in the 3200m.⚡
