Glenn Poole Invitational (2-28-26): The Broncos saw perfect weather in the morning with temperatures in the 60s. The meet started with sunny skies and finished under cloud cover and a balmy 77 degrees. All in all a pretty good track day! Overall, the coaching staff was very pleased at the efforts we saw at Oakmont High School.

All Timers: On occasion the Broncos will have performances that place athletes on the team's all time list. This means the time or field mark is one of the best in school history. Even though the Glenn Poole Invitational was the first meet of the year we had a few Broncos make appearances on our lists. The varsity boys 4 x 800 relay of Cade Rucker, Jonah Wooden, Griffin Keel, Lincoln Manweller ran a solid early season time of 8:22.34 which places them 12th in school history. I'm sure that this team's times will get lower and lower as the season progresses. The varsity boys 800 meters saw a new entrant at Oakmont on Saturday. Junior Calvin Fear won the race with a fine timee of 1:59.57 debuting him on the list at number 27 all time.
Core Value - Improvement: One of our team core values is improvement. We value it because it keeps our minds in the present and forces us to focus on the most effective ways to better ourselves in the here and now. A great way to track improvement is through the website athletic.net. Follow this link (choose the "show team filters" button and select Bella Vista to view all BV athletes in meet) to view how our team did. When you see a "PR" after an athletes time/mark it means a personal record was achieved. If you see a "SR" after the time/mark it is a season record marking the best time/mark for that season so far. To focus on improvement you have to focus on the process of getting better.
We see a lot of potential on our team this season and we know that hard work and perceverance are the only ways to reach that potential. Let's get after it this next week in training and see it we can improve. GO BRONCOS!
