Darts,
It has been an incredible summer. It is over too soon, but we have put in a lot of work and put ourselves in a position to have a strong season. Our boys have run close to 40,000 total miles reported - shattering the record of 30,307 from last year. Our girls are going to reach 22,000 miles - also shattering our old record of 16,461. A lot of you reached the goals that you set at the start of the summer, and I know that you are going to be better runners because of it. As you look back at what you have accomplished in the past 12 weeks, let it give you strength and confidence as we move into our season training and racing. We still have a lot of work in front of us, but we have laid the foundation we needed to have a successful season.
While you are done emailing me your mileage (after this final week), I hope that each of you will continue to keep a training log and that each of you will take individual ownership over your running and your progress. Make it your dream and your running!
Highland Invite - We kicked off the cross country season with the Highland Invite on Thursday. The boys won the team competition in all 3 races - Freshman/Sophomore, Junior/Senior, and Varsity. The girls won the Freshman/Sophomore race and finished 2nd in both of the other races. You can see the full results online at www.runnercard.com and the Davis results are at the bottom of this email.
In the girls varsity, Courtney Wayment and Aubrey Argyle led the way for our girls with a 2-4 finish, and we had a strong 3-4-5 pack with Grace, Jenna, and Sarah. Our girls were only :10 off of our team time record for the course (top 5 finishers combined time). We will have some great battles with the AF girls in the months to come. Our JV girls had very strong performances from our freshman group - Abi Waddoups finished 2nd (#8 freshman in all races combined), Maddie Johnson was 4th, and Rosie Schraedel finished 8th - leading our freshman/sophomore group to the victory. Sydnee Rayl, Sarah Ferrell, and Haylee Downey finished in the top 15 in the Junior/Senior race.
Our boys were led by a great performance by Camren Todd. Cam took the lead coming off the lake in the final 800m, and nearly held on for the victory against nationally ranked Alek Parsons (Ogden). Cam's time of 14:46 is a team record for the course. All 5 of our scorers finished in the top 15 - Colton (6), Logan (9), Colter (14), and Matt (15) - to give us the win by 51 points over 2nd place Timpanogos (who beat us at Highland last year). Our boys set the team time record for the Highland Invite at 76:11. We also had a record number of boys under 17:00 - with 22. The next closest team had 8 - which means that our number 22 runner could make varsity on all but 1 other team in the meet. Our freshman and sophomore boys finished with 5 of the top 11 places with Seth Stromberg and Nate Wilde running together for the 1-2 finish (the #6 & #7 sophomores in all the races combined). Our Junior/Senior boys had 12 of the top 16 places with Frasier Williamson and Jacob Vaughan kicking down the stretch with a close 1-2 finish in 15:48 and 15:49 (very good times in the varsity race), and Devin Jaster moved up for a 3rd place finish. Our JV boys would have finished 6th in a very deep varsity race.
Overall, I thought we showed toughness, learned some good lessons, and ran some solid TEAM races. If you were not satisfied, continue to work and stay patient with your progress.

Athletes of the Week:
Girls - Grace Neuenschwander, Sarah Ferrell, Rosie Schraedel
Boys - Matt Ward, Zach Moncur, Connor Jones
In School Routine - We will now meet at 2:45 in my classroom every day after school. Freshman will join us at 3:05 or so by the south doors. Our "hard" practices will last until about 5:15, our "easy" practices will go until about 4:45. The first 2 weeks are typically the HOTTEST - make sure you are carrying a water bottle with you all day at school. Also, try to have a snack or something in your locker for after the hard practices. We will figure out lockers this week. The Senior, Junior, and Varsity boys will be in the team locker room - sophomores and freshmen will be in the big locker room. The girls will have the TEAM room (and most will have a locker buddy).
Eligibility - A small group of you have not finished all the requirements. Please get that done ASAP.
Drug Test Consent Form Meeting - We need to get the drug test consent forms signed and out of the way for the year (you won't need to attend again for track). We are meeting with one of the administrators at 5:15pm on Tuesday in the Davis cafeteria. We need all the athletes to be there with 1 parent representative. If your parents can't come - still show up and get the form. This meeting will only take 10 minutes. There will be a way to make up if you missed, but it is a ton easier if you can just make it to this meeting. Thanks!
Team Shirts - We will be ordering team shirts this week. They are going to be dark gray. You can sign up at practice or email me your order. We will order both mens and womens sizes. The cost will be $10. Parents are welcome to order. We should get the shirts for the Murray Invite.

Good luck with your first day of school. Thanks for a great summer!
