Darts -
It has been an incredible season so far. Thank you all for putting so much work into it and making it a positive experience. The region championships were awesome and we only have 10 days until the state championships (10/19 at Sugarhouse Park). We would like the entire TEAM to continue to train together until we get to the state meet. Those not running at state should still show up to our practices the next 2 weeks with positive energy. The focus will obviously be on the group running at state, but it will give all of you an opportunity to train through the entire season. I am also hoping that most of you can come to the state championships. I know it is the final day of school before fall break, but I still expect everyone who can to be there to support the team and be part of our final race. That one is not just about the 14 running, but about all 160 of you and the work you have put in throughout the summer and the season. The 14 running will be out there representing all of DXC (past and present).
Region Championships - We saw some great things this past Friday at the Region Championships. There was toughness, there was unity, and there was some intelligent racing. I felt like every member of the TEAM was giving their all and staying in the moment. It was a very impressive afternoon for DXC. The boys won their 22nd straight region title and the girls won their 11th straight. Both girls and boys JV squads finished the regular season with an undefeated record - and both JV groups would have finished 2nd in the varsity races behind our varsity team. The full results for the meet can be found on www.runnercard.com (JV girls times are slightly off), and the Davis results are at the bottom of this email (with correct JV girls times).
The JV girls started us out with a dominating performance. We set a TEAM record by sweeping the top 28 places. We also set a TEAM record with 35 girls under 22:00 on the region course (old record was 31 last year). Three sophomores led the way with Maddie Johnson (19:29), Jennica Robinson (19:31) and Rosie Schraedel (19:34). They would not have run so fast without senior Haylee Downey setting a great pace for the group. Haylee went on to finish 4th. Our top freshman in the race was Tilly Vasquez in 11th with a very good freshman time of 20:32.
The JV boys kept us rolling, just topping the girls with a sweep of the top 31 spots. The top spot went to senior, Zach Moncur with 16:05. He was followed by Derek Thornton, Zach Jenkins, and McKay Treadwell. It was awesome to watch our top group work together and push each other - not just in this race, but throughout the season. We put 40 boys under 18:00 in the JV race (plus 10 more in the varsity). We also had a TEAM record for our fastest 5 freshmen boys - Jacob Halverson, Garrett DiReda, Jalen Anderton, Connor Finlinson, and Carson Coleman beat our freshmen team time record by over a minute. With our varsity group being pretty senior loaded, we are going to need our younger guys (juniors and sophomores included) to continue to step up over the next 365 days to put us in this position again.
The Varsity Girls put together their finest TEAM effort of the season. They have gotten stronger and stronger with every big performance this year, and we are rolling going into the state championships. Aubrey led the way with a strong time of 17:44 on a course that was running about 15 seconds slower than last year because of the soft, wet ground. It was Aubrey's 3rd Region Title (1st in 2013, 1st in 2014, 2nd in 2015, and 1st in 2016). Aubrey now has 4 of our top 8 times ever run on the region course. She has established herself as the most decorated DXC runner of all-time. Ally Geisler and Jenna Connell ran patient and calm over the first half and tough over the second half to pull up for 2nd and 3rd on the final lap of the race. Ally finished with 18:12 and Jenna was 18:29. Madeline stepped up HUGE for us with a 5th place finish in 18:37 and Grace rounded out our top 5 with 18:40, giving us a :56 spread for 1-5 (at Bob Firman we were :81). We had very tough performances from Abi, Alicia, and Miah, finishing 7-8-9 as well. Giving us 8 of the top 9 runners in the race.
The Varsity Boys closed out the day with a monster performance. We ran as a tight pack through the first 2 miles of the race, and finished with a very tight :24 spread for 1-7. Our depth has been our biggest strength this season, and it showed as the boys finished 2nd through 9th in the race to win with 20 points. We ran our #2 All-Time team time - only behind last year's amazing performance (on a course that was in slightly better conditions). Josh led the way with a near victory in 15:13 - only :01 behind Leatham. Josh's improvement over the past few years is definitely noteworthy - he ran 18:26 as a freshman. Seth had a "Logan-esque" finish to place 3rd in 15:23. Matt and Jacob came in right together for 4-5, and our top 7 was rounded out with Camren, Brigham, and Devin all running within a second of each other for 6-7-8. Frasier put together a valiant effort as well for 9th. This group of seniors (8 of our top 9) have really grown and improved. It has been fun watching them come together to create one of the best DXC teams in history. We still have a lot of unfinished business, but I am loving the way they get after it.
I hope you were all inspired from the Region Championships and from other races this season. There are more races to come and more opportunities to push your limits and find your greatness - our remaining cross country work this year, indoor and outdoor track, and next year's cross country season. I would love to see all of you coming back really catch fire and see what we can accomplish over the next year. Just as there were this year, I am expecting surprises and jumps from many of you! If you were not satisfied with this race or this season, keep at it! Stay positive, stay focused and determined, and keep following your dreams and goals.
