Darts -
We are at a key point in the season. We are running well, but I believe we can keep getting better and stronger going into the region and state championships. Please continue to bring energy and positive attitudes to our practices. Keep putting in work over the final stretch and keep taking care of your bodies - recovery is just as important as work at this point!
Bob Firman Invitational - I want to thank each of you for the great trip this past weekend. Thanks for being well-behaved, for making it fun, and for racing with so much toughness. It was our 11th year at Bob Firman, and it was one of the best. We won 5 of the 6 races we were entered in, and were a very close 3rd on the other one. In doing so, we brought home 4 new Bob Firman shoe trophies to add to the collection.
On the girls side, our varsity group put together their strongest race of the season. Aubrey led the way with a 9th place finish in 18:14 (Davis #4 all-time on the course) - she now has 4 marks on our Bob Firman top 20 all-time list (http://davisxc.blogspot.com/p/dxc-records.html); no one else has more than two marks on the list. Ally also made the podium with a strong 16th place finish (18:37) and Grace wasn't far behind in 23rd (18:54). As a team, the girls finished 3rd in the Elite race behind Jesuit (Oregon) and American Fork. We still have a lot of work in front of us, but it's coming together well and we're getting stronger with each race. One of our best performances of the meet came from our Varsity 'B' Team in the Large School varsity division. Racing against 45 teams - nearly all of which were varsity 'A' Teams - our girls came away with a strong victory. It took a total TEAM effort. Madeline led the way with another break-out performance. She finished 15th in 19:47. Then we had a pack of 4 girls between 27th and 32nd (Autumn, Rosie, Ellie, Haylee). I was so impressed with the way they kept their cool in a very intense race and with the way they worked so well together to move up through the masses. Our girls scored 131 to get the win by 33 points. It showed our depth and shows that we can come back next year with a strong team. Our JV girls finished the day with another phenomenal performance that keeps our undefeated JV streak going. Megan Allart ran a very smart race for the individual victory in 20:18. She took off just after 2 miles and ran a very tough final mile. Abby, Jacque, Maddie, Tilly, Sara, and Sara all finished in the top 10. We scored 22 points to finish 29 points ahead of 2nd. We had a team record 27 girls finish under 22:00 for 5k. This is most definitely our deepest girls team in a few years (and possibly ever).
Our boys also had an absolutely incredible day - winning all three of the races we were entered in. In the elite division, our goal was to run an aggressive race from the front. We probably got out a little too well and pushed a little too hard over the first half, but I was very proud of the effort and the toughness the boys showed over the last mile--it took some major guts. We were led by a very strong 1-2-3 punch from Josh (9th in 15:37 - Davis #5 All Time), Matt (13th in 15:45 - Davis #6 All Time), and Jacob (16th in 15:47 - Davis #7 All Time). We also got a very strong boost from Seth Stromberg with a great finish for 24th. We scored 84 points against a good field to get the win over North Central (WA) by 55 and ahead of 3rd place Ogden by 97. Our team time (top 5 combined) was a new team record with 79:15 (Devin Jaster included). We are continuing to learn about our strengths and weaknesses, and this TEAM is really progressing well going into the championship part of the season. Our varsity 'B' Team came through HUGE in the division 1 race. Devin finished 2nd in 16:04 (would have been our #5 and 27th in the elite), and then we packed in our next 5 runners in 15 seconds with especially good races from Connor, McKay, and Zach. We scored 45 points to beat the field of 49 (mostly) varsity teams. The boys JV may have been the race of the day. It was bordering ridiculous as we put 40 boys in the top 50 of the race. Zach Jenkins had an outstanding race for the win in 16:40. Jared Hogan also dipped under the 17 barrier with a 16:56 (giving us a total of 16 boys sub 17:00), we then had 26 more boys under 18:00. It was impressive to say the least.
While it was an awesome day for us, we still have a lot of work to do and a lot of important workouts and races to focus on going forward. Stay hungry!! Stay focused!! Stay prepared!! (Davis Results from the meet are at the bottom of the email).
