Darts -
It was a very impressive Saturday for the Darts at the BYU Invite. We finished in the top 3 as a TEAM in all 6 of the races, and we brought home 46 t-shirts for finishing in the top 30 as individuals. It was good to see so many of you looking focused and prepared during the races. We thought that it was a good TEAM effort - you were running in packs, competing together, pushing each other, and helping each other out. We were also very pleased with your strong finishes. We felt like the majority of the TEAM kicked very well when we got onto the track.
The boys races started off with the freshmen and sophomores. Our top 5 finishers (Josh, Tommy, Ethan, Kimball, and Alex) snagged the victory over Mountain View by 12 points. I thought Josh moved particularly well through the middle of the race, then had a monster kick on the track. Reminds me of his older siblings. The JV boys weren't far off the perfect score from a year ago. We finished with 5 of the top 7 places and 10 in the top 20. Logan Wood pulled away for the individual victory with an impressive 16:47. Andrew Aposhian was 2nd with a strong kick in 16:59. The varsity boys race really showed that we have worked hard for this season. Our top 5 boys all finished in the top 7. Brad Nye got the victory with a 15:50, Preston Johnson was 2nd overall with 16:00, Alex and Brayden were 4-5 (both running 16:11), and Skylar came through at 16:20. I thought Hayden and Jackson also fought hard in their first varsity performances. We dominated the race, but this is not the end by any means - we will continue to work hard, stay humble, and stay focused on our goals.

The girls races showed our depth once again. We started off in the freshman/sophomore race with 7 of the top 12. Madison Garlock looked strong in her first ever cross country race with the 20 second victory and a time of 19:46 (would have been 20th in the varsity race). Chelsey, Kenzie, Josey, and Elise were our other scorers as pulled off the TEAM victory. Elise had a killer kick to pass 3 or 4 girls over the final 200 meters. The JV girls also looked strong as they faced off with a very good Ogden team. Ogden is currently ranked 13th in the U.S. We looked like we had a victory in the JV race for a while, but it just slipped away over the last 800m. We still had very strong, gutsy performances from our girls in the race and we finished with 6 girls in the top 14. We were led by Sierra Haslam (5th) Aimee Vance (6th) and Hannah Albrechtsen (8th). I was really impressed with the way all the girls in this race fought over the final mile of the race. In the girls varsity race, we were facing some tough competition from Ogden, Mountain View, and Mountain Crest (all ranked among the best in the state). We were missing Ellie, but had some other girls really step up and we finished in 3rd place. Shea was our top finisher in 7th, Joanna had a great race to finish 12th overall, and Ashley Tyndall, Kami Dixon, and Sadie Hutchinson all looked very strong and poised in their first shot at running in a varsity race. We have a bright future ahead for the girls TEAM. Davis Results are below - full results can be found at www.runnercard.com
Overall, some very solid performances. I felt this was one of our better TEAM races over the past few years. However, we must continue to build off of this. We need to continue to bring energy and purpose to the workouts. And we need to continue to do the small things that will make us stronger - abs, weights, plenty of sleep, getting plenty of sleep, cooling down, stretching, icing, etc. Let's put a lot into the next 2 weeks as we prepare for our biggest race of the regular season (Bob Firman).
Parents Night - We were lucky to have the opportunity to listen to BYU Coach Ed Eyestone on Wednesday night. Thanks to those of you who were able to attend. I hope you were all inspired, as I was, to "run like a horse" in all that you do in life.
Coming Up -
District Championships - will be at Layton Park on Wednesday (the 14th). The JV boys will race at 3:30, all girls will race at 4:00, and the varsity boys will be at 4:30. If there are parents who would like to bring popsicles again - please let me know (I will have the cooler there). The race is 2.75 miles.
Murray Invitational - will be on Friday at Murray Park in Salt Lake. The first race begins at 4:00pm. I will send out another email with more information and an exact schedule of races. The Murray race is a 5k.
