Darts -
It was another great weekend at the Bob Firman Invitational in Boise. I want to thank all of you for being well behaved, for giving a great effort on the course, and for making it a fun and successful trip. Also - thanks to all parents who helped out in one way or another. It took a group effort to pull the trip off with 100 athletes, but we made it happen. The best part of the trip were the races. The course change and the heat made it a slower year, but we still put together some awesome performances.
We started the day with one of our strongest team performances in the large school varsity boys race (our boys varsity B team). Even though we were facing mostly A-team runners from other schools, we pulled off a dominating victory by over 60 points. All of the other teams in the top 10 were varsity teams. Josh Peters ran a killer race with 16:26 for 6th place. Britton, Jacob, Daniel, and Brigham also finished in the top 20 to earn backpacks. I loved the way our group ran together through this race! Devin Jaster had an awesome race going and was in 12th place with about 150m to go. He struggled hard and fell at least 3 times over the final stretch. Although it was hard to watch him struggle to the finish line, it was also inspiring to watch his full effort and determination to cross the line. He showed some major heart and guts.
The Elite Girls were up next and had some very tough competition from the U.S. #1 Great Oak (CA) team and the American Fork girls. We put together our best team effort in a big race this season. We finished in 3rd - only 40 points from Great Oak and only 6 points back from American Fork. I thought we showed more toughness and desire than we have in previous races. Courtney had a monster race to get the overall victory in a very talented field with 17:56. Aubrey fought hard to finish 13th. Sam came up big for us in 23rd. Ally and Grace both ran solid for 29th and 35th. It was awesome to have Miah on the course again for her first race this season and a strong 42nd place finish. And Jenna ran tough for 53rd. The girls are finding their direction and focus, and I am very excited for what they are going to accomplish together over the next 3 weeks.
The Elite Varsity Boys did not get out well at the beginning. It resulted in a difficult race on the crowded Bob Firman course. They had a lot of work to do from the very beginning of the race. Despite being way back at the first mile, they nearly moved all the way up and got the victory in an extremely deep field. Our boys matched the girls with a 3rd place finish - Timpanogos had a great race for the victory in 104, Great Oak pulled off 2nd in 106, and we scored 109. Camren led the way again for us, and had one of the strongest races of his career. He moved gradually up to the top pack of about 10 boys, and then covered the late moves and stayed strong through the final hill to pull off 4th place against many of the top runners in the country (3 of the top 5 guys were mentioned in the latest Dyestat top 30 individual rankings). Cam was the top underclassmen in the race. Colter ran an incredible second half of the race to move from about 35th at 1.5 all the way up to 11th at the finish line. He never gave up and really dug deep over the final stretch. Colter was still in 22nd place when he hit the sand for the 2nd time. Colton was solid for us in 28th. Matt Ward ran a similar style to Colter, and moved up from about 60th at half way to 29th at the finish. Frasier also ran strong for 48th. Logan was battling a cold and struggled a bit, but it was nice to see some of his teammates step up their game. I felt like we let one slip away in the elite race. We had a few spots where we could have pulled off the victory. There were some strong performances, but there were also some valuable lessons we needed to learn to be champions later when it really counts. As long as we learn those lessons and come back with more desire and focus, we'll be okay. I know this group has it in them to bounce back from a difficult day!
By the time the large school varsity girls race started, it was getting HOT! Our girls varsity B-Team showed great poise and toughness against a strong varsity field. Abi Waddoups ran the 6th fastest 9th grade time of the day with 20:02 for 17th place (and a back pack). Madeline looked strong in 25th. Haylee, Sydney, Sydnee, Sarah, and Malaree all dug deep and ran with heart to give us an 8th place team finish - with only 1 JV team beating us (AF).
The JV boys race was hot as well, and we held up very well as a TEAM. It was funny to listen to all the comments as one by one our Davis boys came by. We swept the top 11 places and had 23 of the top 27 places. It was quite the sea of brown. Adam Hedquist had a HUGE race for 1st place and a solid time of 16:50 during the hottest part of the day (would have earned a back pack in the large school race). Randy, Lance, Mckay, and Josh rounded out the perfect score (1-5). We also had a great race from our top freshman, Nate Iverson, in 13th. It was fun watching all of them kick so hard and race very inspired.
The JV girls followed the boys with another perfect score. We were led by a group of freshman at the front with Alicia Halverson taking the lead early and pushing all the way to the finish. Her time of 20:32 would have been top 25 in the large school varsity race. In fact, if we combine our JV girls with the 7 who ran in the large school race, we had the strongest JV team in the meet (ahead of AF). Rosie Schraedel ran great for 2nd place. Autumn Taylor performed awesome for 3rd in her first race of the season (hip injury). Hannah, Maddie, Sara, Melanie, and Sarah rounded out our girls in the top 10. We had 11 girls in the top 20 earn medals. I was so impressed with the teamwork and the toughness in this final race of the day. In the hottest part of the day, they showed a lot of guts.

Thanks again!
