Darts,
It's been a great season so far! Thanks to those that have dedicated so much to make this TEAM great! State is coming up in 10 days (Wed, Oct 17 at Sugarhouse Park). I 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 90 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
The Region Championships were awesome! The course was soft and muddy and slowed us down a bit, but we fought hard and won each race. The JV girls set the tone with all 5 scorers in the top 8 to win with only 21 points led by Hope Stanley. Biggest improvements for the region race made by Allie Nielsen, Breanna Wilson, Liz Brown, Sofia, Tara, and Jane Willden. The JV boys looked awesome having 16 of the top 18 finishers. Hunter and Tyler took the lead early on and pushed the pace. They held on to go 1-2 and lead us to a perfect score. It's great seeing the progress of our young guys throughout the season. We'll be counting on you for years to come. HUGE improvements by Liam, Quinton, Jacob Nielson, Sam, Michael Bown, Walker, Anderson, Henry, and Quinn, and others.
You could tell at the beginning of the varsity girls race that the other schools were gunning for us. The race went out hard and we were not in the lead at the first mile, but some big moves by Rosie, Jennica, and Alicia secured the win. Ellie didn't take the lead until about 1200 meters into the race. Nobody went with her and her lead just kept growing until she finished Region Champ by 19 seconds.
The varsity boys race also went out hard for how soft the course was. Our boys put themselves in the mix up front and basically stayed there to win the race with 28 points. Our 1-5 spread was 7 seconds and our 1-7 spread was 12 seconds. They're basically all the same runner.
