The season is flying by. There are only 4 more races that everyone gets to do (District, BYU, Nicholls, and Region), and only 2 others that some get to do (Bob Firman and State). It's going to be over before we know it. We need to maintain focus and make sure we're taking care of the little things: Nutrition, hydration, getting enough sleep, stretching, massaging, etc. Everyone needs to show up to practice excited to get to work with a positive attitude and a lot of energy.
Murray Invite
We competed at the Murray Invite on Friday afternoon. The course was about 2.95 miles long this year and we're seeing a lot of improvement as a TEAM already. Many of you had a better mile pace than our Pre-Region race which is about a mile shorter and less hilly.
Our focus this race was mile 2 which put our varsity boys and girls a little further back than we'd like during the first mile. The narrowness of the course made it crowded and hard to move during the second mile and there was a lot of weaving in and out of people which can waste a bunch of energy. Connor Jones somehow navigated all the way to 11th place after being in about 40th at the mile, and Ellie Lundgreen went from 60 or 70th all the way up to 25th. Our boys ended up in 5th place and our girls took 10th.
The JV races were not as crowded up front and we were able to run our race. It's great to see our TEAM working together and running with and for each other. Ben, Trey, and Jared worked together and finished within 2 seconds of each other. About 20 seconds later we had another group finish close together. After the races were combined, our scorers went 3, 4, 5, 11, 14, 15, and 16 to score 37 points for the win. The girls narrowly pulled off the victory in the combined result with 72 points to American Forks 85. We were led with some toughness up front by Elisabeth Ferrell who ended up 2nd in the race first open race and 5th overall. Jacque, Kate, Sydney and Megan rounded out our scorers.
Our Sophomore boys ended up second place to a very good and deep team from Riverton. Even if we put all our Sophomores in that race we would have ended up in 2nd place. That's going to make for some great battles for the next two years. Tilly had a great race to take 3rd overall and we had some girls make some big jumps in their racing.
We only have a few freshmen, but they're awesome. Daniel Larsen is making a huge comeback from his camp injury, and Simon races with guts galore. The girls made some big jumps in their racing as well (Eliza's pace was over a minute faster than Pre-Region). The girls were led by Alexa Peters.
