Davis Cross Country

Final 2011 XC Update - NXN!!!

2011-12-08T16:50:00.001-08:00

Darts -

The cross country season is finally all wrapped up. This was quite possibly the most successful season in DXC history. The girls finished with their 4th state title in the past 5 years, a 6th straight region title, 3 all-state athletes (Shea, Madi, and Joanna), 1 individual state champ (Shea), a 6th place finish in the competitive Nike Southwest Regional, and a boat-load of PRs. The boys finished with a 2nd place state finish in one of the strongest years ever, a 16th straight region title with a record team time, 4 all-state athletes (Brad, Brayden, Preston, Logan), a 2nd place finish at the Nike Southwest Regional, some awesome PRs, and finally a 3rd place finish at the Nike National Championships.

NXN -

The trip to NXN was absolutely amazing. Not only were the boys able to spend time on the Nike campus with Olympians, but we were able to run our best TEAM race of the year against the greatest teams in the U.S. The 5k course in Portland is one of the most challenges courses we run. It takes a great amount of physical strength, mental toughness, and TEAMwork. Our boys really came through in a year that ended up being one of the fastest in NXN history. Our goal was to come home with a trophy - a "podium finish". We knew we had a shot at top 3, but that it would take a strong race. Our plan was to go out aggressively, establish our position, and then be tough as we moved over the final mile of the course.

We were on the far right side of the starting line - box 31 out of 33. It ended up being a perfect box for our race plan. We were set up on the outside around the first long turn 400m into the race. Our boys stayed outside around the turn and established their position. By the time they reached the first timing chip check point at 1k, we showed up on the screen in 3rd place behind Carroll, Texas and Christian Brothers, NJ. As I squinted across the course to the big screen at the finish line, I could barely tell that Davis was listed in 3rd. Being in the right position helped our boys to relax, but also to run with the excitement that we were doing what we set out to do. The boys looked great over the first 3k. They worked together and were able to move slightly up through the pack. Brad and Brayden were moving very well together around 45th place - with mostly individuals in front of them (those who didn't count in the team score), Preston was running in the pack about 5 seconds back, and Logan and Skylar were moving their way through the group together about 10 more seconds back. Plus we had our 6th man, Alex, running really close to where Logan and Skylar were. When the scores flashed up again at mile 2, we had held our 3rd position - and we had moved up about 20 points. Carroll and Christian Bros were very close at the top, and we were about 80 points back. Over the final 2k of the race, we had to really dig deep to keep our top 3 spot. It was all about heart, desire, and determination. I could tell that the boys were not going to give in - they were going to run like horses all the way to the finish. Over that final mile, every one of them raced with pure guts. We picked up another 15-20 spots as a TEAM and established our spot on the podium as some of the teams right behind us began to fade.

In the finish area, we weren't positive that we had held on to 3rd place, but we were pumped because we knew the boys had run a very strong race - just what we thought it would take. They grabbed us for an interview, which told us we must be in the mix. They were also interviewing Arcadia (last year's champs), so we weren't assured our top 3. I was really pleased with the boys interviews - they gave credit to their teammates for pushing them and for working together to get there and for racing with heart. Finally they gave us the word that we needed to move over to the awards stand because we were top 3. The boys were so excited. There were a lot of hugs and a lot of smiles. We could not have been prouder as coaches - Brad had a huge smile and kept saying "We did it!"; I think we high-fived about 30 times in the finish area. They had worked so hard for this moment--making it so satisfying. We were all smiles on the stage as the CEO of Nike presented us with the Nike Goddess Trophy (see attached picture). At the closing ceremonies later that night, the boys were each given mini Nike Goddess trophies.

The 3rd place finish is the highest by any Utah team (boys or girls) in the 8 year history of the race. The boys teams to make it in the past include Mt View (2004), Alta (2008), American Fork (2009-2010-2011) and the Davis boys in 2010 and 2011. The Utah girls teams have been Fremont (2004-2005) and Davis (2007). It is a representation of our entire TEAM and all of the hard work from every runner and all of the support that we give each other.

I have posted a bunch of pictures on facebook if you have not yet had the opportunity to see them. I will also try to post some video on youtube and send out the link. You can see a lot of the race videos at www.runnerspace.com

It was truly a great day in DXC history:

Brad Nye - 15:57, 15th place (TEAM score)

Brayden Cromar - 15:59, 18th place

Preston Johnson - 16:09, 32nd place

Logan Wood - 16:13, 34th place

Skylar Williams - 16:29, 58th place

Alex Hedquist - 16:40, 77th place

Jackson Sagers - 17:14, 125th place

1. 91 - Lincroft (Christian Brothers), NJ

2. 95 - Carroll, TX

3. 157 - Davis, UT

4. 183 - Arcadia, CA

5. 255 - Palatine, IN

6. 257 - American Fork, UT

What's next? Let's put a lot of focus into preparing for the indoor and outdoor seasons by working hard and increasing our mileage to give us the base we need to be setting PRs through April and May.

Can we make it back in a year? You betcha. The boys and the girls! But it will take 362 days of heart, sacrifice, discipline, teamwork, humility, and determination. We will face challenges along the way, but the satisfaction that comes at the end of the road will be worth it.

Thanks again for the opportunity to coach you and to be a part of this great TEAM. Thanks for being committed and for putting the TEAM first.

Much Love -

Coach Talley

I hope that you are all recovered from the trip to Arizona and that you are enjoying your break. Thank you for making the trip a success. Thanks for being well-behaved and for making it fun. And thanks for racing hard and giving your best efforts on Saturday. I know that it was a bitter-sweet day, but I felt proud as we came away from another strong race and another strong season.
Congratulations to the boys. They are on their way to Portland for the 2nd straight year. We finished 2nd in the region behind American Fork. And now we are going to be racing at the Nike Cross Nationals with a goal of finishing in the top 5. Brad Nye led us once again with a 6th place finish - good enough to earn him 1st team all-region. Preston Johnson really came through for us with a gutsy race to finish 12th (2nd team all-region) and Brayden Cromar finished in 16th (3rd team all-region). Skylar Williams was the 3rd fastest sophomore in all of the races combined. I thought Sam Haws, Alex White, Ryan Clark, and Isaac Clouse had particularly strong races and some huge PRs. We still have a young TEAM with most of the boys coming back. I challenge each of you to work with purpose and togetherness over the next 12 months so that we are in a similar position a year from now. It is amazing what you can accomplish with some determination, discipline, and hard work. I especially challenge the freshmen and sophomores that they will follow the examples of the older runners. I think at times our young runners were too content to let the experienced runners carry the TEAM. Getting to where they are does not just happen naturally, it takes commitment and pain. So, over the track season, you younger runners - don't be content just watching our good runners be good - but become part of that as well.
The girls race was not exactly what we had hoped for, but at the same time, I think it is an amazing accomplishment to finish 6th with so many young, new runners on the TEAM. I hope that you each felt a bit of desire to go back in a year more prepared, stronger, faster, and ready to qualify for the Nationals. It is realistically within our reach and our ability. There were some great things I saw in the races last Saturday. I loved how Kenzie, Hannah, Madi, and Aimee (all sophomores) ran together and helped each other in the open race. I thought that all of the girls in the open race fought hard and ran smart, tough races. In the championship race, I know that it was not our day, but I really felt that the girls did everything they could to run for their TEAM. All of the girls in the race ran like "horses". Joanna led the way with a solid PR of 18:48. Nearly a minute improvement from a year ago. Madi dipped under 19 in a 5k for the first time with a 18:55 (which was the 4th fastest 9th grade time in all of the races combined). And Ashley finished up the season with another big PR and huge improvement over a year ago. Lastly, I was really proud of the way that Shea still led the TEAM and ran as hard as she could - not just for herself - but for her teammates. Those type of races are definitely not the most enjoyable (they are flat-out miserable), but they are still important in the overall picture and experience as a runner. Our ups and downs make us stronger, more experienced, and more determined. Just watch, she will bounce back with some amazing track times.
A special thanks to Brad and Janae, the parents, and others who supported us with the trip and with everything else we do.

Nike Photo - the boys TEAM has to submit a photo to Nike for the nationals. We had the photo shoot yesterday - go to my facebook page to vote for ("like") your 3 favorites to help us decide which photo to submit.

Uniforms - if any of you have uniforms that need to be turned in, please do so next week. Some of you borrowed uniform tops for the Nike Regionals. I need them back so I can get a good count before I make an order for track.

Training - I recommend taking the rest of this week off. No running - a mental and physical rest. Next week you are still on your own, but you might want to get in a few distance runs. Nothing too hard - just longer runs as we start to build another base for the track season. We will have our indoor track meeting on December 7th (Wednesday) at which point I will start giving you the daily workouts. Between now and then, listen to your body and enjoy your short break.

It's hard to believe that another season is over (other than the boys going to Nationals, of course). As I reflect back through the season and the past summer, I am grateful for the lessons I have learned. I am grateful for the good times and for the challenges. And I am grateful for our TEAM and for what each of you have brought to it. I hope that you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and that you remember how blessed and fortunate you are. Thanks for all you do -
Coach Talley

Cross Country Update - November

2011-11-01T11:30:00.001-07:00

Darts -
With one week behind us, the Nike Southwest Regional training is going very well. We have 3 more weeks of intense training, and then I think we will be ready for our best race of the season. I like the energy and excitement that you all brought this past week. Continue to commit yourselves to becoming the best you can in these next weeks. Keep doing the small things - stretching, abs, eating right, sleeping enough, preparing for hard workouts, hydrating, etc. Combined, the small things will make a big difference. I would like to see all of you make a big mental jump between now and the regional race. We are working to be physically and mentally as strong and confident as we can be. Again, if each of you can improve your prs by 10 seconds, we will be a tough TEAM to beat in Mesa.

Coming Up:
TEAM Banquet - We will hold the banquet on Thursday night at 6:30pm at the school (November 3). We will have pizza for dinner. You can sign up to bring a salad or dessert. The banquet is just for athletes (not parents). We will have a small awards ceremony as well as dinner. There will be no cost.

24 Hour Run Fundraiser - Will be on Friday and Saturday (November 4-5) on the track. We will begin at 1:00pm on Friday and run until 1:00pm on Saturday (relay style with 1-2 people running at a time). You will need to sign up for two 3-hour time slots - we will do the sign up on Thursday after school. The weather is not supposed to be great, so plan on dressing warm and bringing blankets and stuff to keep you warm. We will be allowed to stay at the school overnight, but there will be rules that must be followed (or the 24 hour run will be cancelled forever). The only access door that will be open for us will be the tunnel door to the track. We will go over all of the rules on Thursday. I have attached a fundraising form. The idea is to either get donations or pledges based on how much we will run during the 24 hours. You can use the money toward your trip to the Nike Regionals. Those of you not going on the trip, the money donated will go towards things that the TEAM does on a regular basis - it will all go back into the program. Even if you are not going on the trip, you are encouraged to participate. We could definitely use some money in the program at this point. It should be a lot of fun, and is a great way to raise some money. Parents - please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. If any of you would like to stay through part of the night and help with supervision, you are welcome to join us. We will have coaches at the track for supervision. Someone will be awake during all of the hours of the night to make sure things are going smoothly. We will also have separate rest areas for girls and boys. If any parents would like to bring any type of refreshments during the 24 hours - I am sure that the athletes will eat whatever you bring. Thanks.

Nike Regionals - November 17-20. I have attached the itinerary with all of the information. I will also be handing out a waiver that will need to be signed by both parents and athletes. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Congratulations Brad Nye on setting a new Vita Course Record last Saturday - 43:35!!!

Cross Country Update - State Championships

2011-10-23T14:24:00.000-07:00

Darts -
It was an incredible day at the state championships for the Davis cross country team. It capped one of our most remarkable seasons in school history. Winning is nice, but the best part of the state meet was the fact that we had worked hard as a TEAM for so long, and then we showed a lot of toughness, poise, and teamwork.
The girls started us off with a near perfect race. Each of the girls followed our race plan and ran with a lot of heart. We ended up with our best TEAM performance of the year. Shea was extremely tough as she earned her 2nd straight individual state championship. It is the first time a Davis girl has ever won 2 state xc titles. There were a few points in the race where she nearly allowed the girl from Alta to pull away from her, but Shea stayed mentally tough and stayed with her until about 800m to go. At that point, she put in a strong move and pulled away for the win. Shea's time was 17 seconds faster than a year ago. It is also the 2nd fastest time a Davis girl has ever run. Madi also ran a very smart and patient and tough race. Her race plan was to stay with the lead pack for the first 2 miles, then see how many of them she could beat. It was a challenge, but Madi ended up outkicking a very good runner from Bingham to get 4th place - it was only her 4th cross country race ever - and it ended up being the fastest 9th grade time we have ever had. It also puts Madi at #5 on our all-time state list (behind 4 girls who have all been state champions). Joanna also ran one of her strongest races of the season. She has been working so hard with a goal of being all-state (top 10). A year ago Joanna ran a great race to help us win a state title - she was 26th in a time of 20:12. This year, Jo improved to 19:00 - which was good enough to finish 8th and earn her all-state. Ashley ran with Joanna as long as she could. It was a very strong and courageous race, and although she finished just outside of the top 10, she ran an incredible time of 19:20 (13th place). Ashley is probably our most improved runner from a year ago. Chelsey also came through big for us. She ran her race perfectly - moving up through the 20s in the middle part of the race and finishing strong to be our #5 girl in a time of 19:41. Chelsey was a great example of how tough and competitive our girls TEAM was in this race and throughout the season. Kami was also moving well through the second half of the race. In the first 800m, Kami was in about 50th place - over the next 2 miles, she moved her way all the way up to 25th. Kami has been a solid surprise for us all season long, and did a great to finish up at the state meet. Becca also did a great job in her final cross country regular season race in a strong 4 year career. Becca runs with a lot of guts - she is what DXC is all about. The girls who were there as alternates and as teammates also did an incredible job supporting and encouraging the girls who ran. They could not have run so well without the rest of their TEAM being their to inspire and support them. In the end, it was our best girls' TEAM performance in the history of the state championships. Our top 5 girl's times combined to a team time of 95:10. It was the 3rd fastest team time that a girls team has run on the course. (Behind 2 teams that finished the season ranked in the top 5 in the U.S.) We ended up winning with a score of 44 points - over 2nd place Lehi who had 88 points. It will most like propel our girls TEAM into the top 25 in the U.S.
It is difficult to explain just how good our boys TEAM really is. We left the state meet with a 2nd place trophy, but it does not do the TEAM justice. We are literally the best 2nd place team that our state has ever had. There have only been 2-3 times in the history of the state championship where our boys team would not have come home as the champions. We finished the race with 5 boys in the top 11 runners. Our TEAM time of 79:01 is the 3rd best time ever run on the course (behind AF from last year and AF from this year - both of whom were ranked #1 or #2 in the U.S. when they ran those times). Our state performance should move us up in the U.S. rankings from 9th to about 5th place (we will find out on Thursday). But even more impressive than how fast our boys are is how tough they ran and how hard they have worked. They may not have earned a state title, but they definitely earned the title of champions. Brad's time of 15:23 was good enough for 2nd place, but it was also the 5th fastest time in the history of the course, and the fastest time by any Davis athlete. Brayden Cromar, Preston Johnson, and Logan Wood all fought to the end - finished with times under 16:00 - and earned all-state awards. Skylar Williams finished in one of the hardest positions with an 11th place finish - but he ran a tough, positive race and now has our fastest time ever by a sophomore at 16:01. Alex Hedquist may not have had his best race of the season, but he ran hard and never gave up - and he'll be back with some great races in the fuutre. And Jackson took advantage of his opportunity by pushing himself through a tough race, and hopefully learning some valuable lessons for the future. Overall, I was extremely proud of our boys and their efforts and the way they conducted themselves after a tough loss to an incredibly strong team (who we will get to race 2 more times in the next 6 weeks). And again, the alternates and the teammates of those who ran brought a lot of energy and are every bit a part of the TEAM's success throughout the season and at the state meet.
The support was outstanding. Thanks to all of the athletes, parents, and alumni who were able to come and watch the Darts and help to inspire them. I feel like the runners were given a lot of energy from the crowd.
There are some pictures on facebook.com and there will be a video posted to youtube.com.

And a special thanks to Brad and Janae and their help and expertise - they make me a better coach, and they make our athletes stronger, smarter runners.
It has been a pleasure,

Cross Country Update - Region Champions!

2011-10-16T15:49:00.000-07:00

Darts -
It was a perfect day for us at the Region Championships on Wednesday. The weather was ideal, and we took advantage of it, having our best race of the season and one of the best meets in Davis cross country history. Our TEAM has worked hard for this point of the season. All of the pain, sweat, goals, and sacrifices have prepared us for our championship races. Our work in the summer time and throughout the season really paid off as we raced so well at the region championships.
The JV girls started us off right with a 1-18 sweep in the first race of the afternoon. Hannah Albrechtsen and Sierra Haslam led the way throughout the entire race - and finished within a tenth of a second of each other for 1st and 2nd in an incredibly fast JV winning time of 19:59. As far as I could tell, 19:59 is a new region JV record. There have been years where 19:59 would be all-region in the varsity race. Having the girls finish 1-18 is also a region JV record, and having 16 girls under 22:00 - in addition to the 10 in the varsity race - for a total of 26 girls under 22:00 is also a TEAM and region record. Hannah and Sierra were followed by Josey Hedquist in 20:06 (just a 9th grader), Janice Hartvigsen in 20:19, and a great race from Mikell Wood in 20:22. Mikell has struggled with injury and came back with a great final race of the season. Most of the girls in the JV race finished with PRs or season bests. If the JV girls had been in the varsity race, they would have finished 3rd place and qualified for state as a TEAM (too bad that's not an option).
The JV boys were next, and kept our perfect streak going. The boys finished with a 1-8 sweep 15 of the top 20 runners. They were led by a phenomenal race by Phillip Baker who finished with a time of 16:18. Phillip's time would be varsity on any team we have ever had from Davis. He would have been 10th place in the varsity race with only 1 runner from another school beating him. To put his time into perspective, he would have finished 2nd in the varsity race in 2008 behind state champion, Seth Gutzwiller. The boys JV dominance continued with Seth Thompson running a strong race for 2nd (16:44), Taylor Goldsberry running a very gutsy race for 3rd (16:49), Sam Haws finishing 4th in 17:00, and Ryan Lee 5th in 17:08. We had a total of 22 boys make the region all-time list (under 17:55). Our team record is 23 boys from 2010. Had our JV boys been in the varsity race, they also would have qualified for state by finishing 3rd place behind our varsity and Syracuse high.
The varsity girls nearly pulled off another perfect score sweep with a 1-4 finish, and 7 girls in the top 10. Shea Martinez ran a very strong race to finish just 1 second behind her course record from a year ago. Her time of 18:07 gives Shea the two fastest times ever run on the course. Madison Garlock finished 2nd overall with a time of 18:39. It ranks Madi as the 9th fastest girl to ever run the region course, and the fastest 9th grader ever. Joanna Boyd finished 3rd with 18:52. Joanna has been consistently strong for us all season long - AND IS FINALLY 16!! (Happy Birthday today, Joanna). Ashley Tyndall is one of our most improved--she finished 4th in a time of 19:01. A year ago, Ashley was 6th in the JV race with a time of 20:29. A lot of hard work later, and she is going to be running this next week with a shot at being all-state. Kami Dixon and Chelsey Johnson finished 8-9, both earning all-region medals, and although Aimee Vance was running as one of our "non-scorers", she finished 10th in the region with an incredible time of 19:37. Our top 5 girls' times added together to give us a "team time" of 94:10 - the record team time on the region course is 94:07 by our girls in 2010. It was our strongest showing of the year, coming right in time for the state championships.
The varsity boys finished up the day in dominating fashion. Before this year, we had never had a boys or girls varsity team perfect score the region meet. Not only did our boys perfect score (1-5), but we finished with the top 8 spots in the race and all 10 of our boys in the top 15. Brad Nye tied the course record with a time of 15:18. The course record was originally set by Steve Sheppard of Weber High in 2002 (Brad's older brother Jace was 2nd in that race). The next spots were just a string of Davis runners - Cromar, Preston Johnson, Logan Wood, Alex Hedquist, Skylar Williams, Jackson Sagers, and Andrew Aposhian. It was an incredible sight. We shattered the team time record by running 1:05 faster than we did a year ago for our top 5 runners.
I was very pleased with the great attitudes of our runners, with all of the prs, with our senior leaders, and with our young runners as well. I said it in the meeting, and I really believe, that this was our best region meet ever (boys and girls combined). Congrats to all those who have put so much into this season and who came and ran their best races at the region meet.

Darts -
We are wrapping up a busy week. I wanted to thank the parents and the athletes who were able to help with the Barnes Park race on Wednesday and the Homecoming Relay on Thursday. Despite the rain, we were able to put on a great meet and we were able to have a little fun with the relay from Weber High to Davis High on Thursday.
Great job to all of the athletes at the meet on Wednesday. If you have not seen the results, you can check them out on the blog - www.davisxc.blogspot.com It was a very strong race for our TEAM going into the region championships. I was especially impressed with the improvement that many of the new runners have shown through the season. Running is definitely a sport that takes patience and consistency, but I hope you are learning that hard work and determination will make you better at running (and at most things). The TEAM quite literally tore up the course - we dominated both races and proved to be running at our best as the season comes to its end. Great job having fun and running hard at the same time.

Athletes of the Week - Becca Albrechtsen, Katie Frandsen, Phillip Baker, Ethan Stuart

Region Championships - are this Wednesday (the 12th) at Layton Park. This is the final race for most of you. We have worked hard and we are well prepared to go into the region meet. The TEAM goal is to sweep all four races. Your individual goals should be to finish the season with a PR. The weather should be perfect, the course will be fast, and you are ready to go. Be confident in yourselves, and have a lot of fun going after your best races of the season. The course will be exactly 3.0 miles - it is the same course we have been running in this region since 1997. We will have an important meeting on Tuesday after school (once the Junior High athletes arrive). We will also have TEAM dinners on Tuesday evening at 6:00pm. The boys will eat at the Cromar's and the girls will be at the McCleary's (we will provide directions on Tuesday). We will be dressing up with ties and skirts/dresses for school on Wednesday.

The schedule for Region will be as follows -
1:15 - Excused from school
1:30 - Bus leaves
3:00pm - Girls JV
3:30pm - Boys JV
4:00pm - Girls Varsity
4:30pm - Boys Varsity
5:15pm - Awards

State Championships - The state championships are at Sugarhouse Park on Wednesday, October 19th. The girls race at 2:30 and the boys race at 4:00pm. I expect all of you to come and support the varsity runners as they contend for the state title. Both the boys and the girls have a shot at winning the state title for the entire TEAM. Every one of you are a part of what the varsity runners will be representing at the state meet. Even if you are not running, you will still have a responsibility to provide energy and support for your teammates who are running.

TEAM Pictures/Uniform Turn in - Tuesday, October 25th - we will meet in my classroom after school, and then have the pictures at 3:15 when the 9th graders are able to get to the school.

TEAM Awards Banquet - Thursday, November 3rd - More details to come. The banquet will be for the athletes only.

24 Hour Run Fundraiser - Tentatively on November 4-5. More details to come.

Nike Southwest Regional - We will be taking a bus down to Mesa, AZ for the Nike Regional Race. We will leave after school on Thursday, November 17th and return on Sunday, November 20th. Those of you who are interested in attending the trip with us should plan on being at practice on Monday, October 24th (the Monday after Fall Break). It will be a 4 week training commitment. We will be able to take about 50 athletes. The cost will be around $230 per athlete. Even if you are not able to go on the trip, you are still encouraged to continue training with us over that month (even the 9th graders).

The boys will race at 4:15. 9th graders will be excused at 2:30 - just try to get there as quickly as possible. The race will be 3 miles.

Homecoming Relay - We will be running a "stolen" football jersey from Weber High to Davis High on Thursday (October 6th) as part of the Homecoming festivities. The route is about 30 miles - which means we will have to begin running around 2:00pm in order to get the jersey to the Davis stadium in time for the pep rally. We will divide the relay into 5 x 6 mile legs, and then everyone will meet in front of Davis High (by the seminary) at 5:30 so that we can run the jersey in to the football stadium at the right time. I will have more details at practice on Monday and Tuesday. At this point, I need to know if any parents could volunteer to transport groups on Thursday as we complete the Homecoming Relay. If you have a vehicle that can fit 5+ kids and you can spend some of the afternoon helping transport the runners, please let me know. Each leg will have about 10 kids running together.

Saturday Practice - We will meet at Layton Park next Saturday (October 8th) at 7:30am for our final hard workout before the region championships. We will be doing 800s and finishes on the region course. It is an important practice, so please let me know if you are going to have to miss.

Region Championships - Wednesday, October 12th at Layton Park. The races will begin at 3:00pm. More information to come. (3 mile race)

State Championships - Wednesday, October 19th at Sugarhouse Park in Salt Lake. The girls will race at 2:30pm. The boys will race at 4:00pm. More information to come. (3 mile race)

This past week we raced at the Syracuse Open Region Meet. We held out our varsity runners, but our JV runners showed that they can compete with the varsity teams from our region. The girls finished 2nd behind a decent Weber High team, and the boys were 3rd behind Syracuse and Weber. It showed that many of our JV runners would be strong varsity runners on most of the other schools in the region. I was pleased with the attitudes and the efforts of those who raced. Our seniors showed good leadership, and our young runners continued to show strength and toughness. If you would like to see the results for the girls, go to http://davisxc.blogspot.com/2011/09/open-meet-at-syracuse-girls-results.html and the boys results are posted at: http://davisxc.blogspot.com/2011/09/open-meet-at-syracuse-boys-results.html

Athletes of the Week - Korbin Birrell, Trevor Fry, Hannah Albrechtsen, Janice Hartvigsen

Keep up the great work. The season is over before you know it. Put a lot of heart and determination into the final 3 races of the season. Let's make this a memorable finish.
Thanks for all you do -
Coach Talley

XC Update - Bob Firman

2011-09-27T18:35:00.001-07:00

Darts -

Sorry that I didn't get the opportunity to send out an email this past weekend. It is hard to believe that we are over half way through the season. With only 4 races to go, it is important that you take advantage of your opportunities. Again, I challenge each of you to bring a positive attitude and a lot of energy and focus to our practices and races over the next 2 weeks of workouts - which are really there to prepare us for the final 2 races of the season (region and state). Even though the varsity runners are not competing at Syracuse tomorrow, it is still an important race for the rest of the TEAM, and a great opportunity for the JV runners to step up and perform for the TEAM.

Here is how the race schedule is looking for the rest of the season:

Wednesday, 9/28 Open Region Meet @ Syracuse - Girls race at 3:45; Boys at 4:15. The race is 3 miles and starts on the field to the west of the Syracuse track.

Friday/Saturday 9/30-10/1 - We were originally going to go to UVU on the 30th, then I changed it to Park City on the 1st - but we have decided not to attend a race this weekend.

Wednesday, 10/5 - Open Region Meet @ Davis (Barnes Park). Girls will race at 3:45; Boys at 4:15.

Wednesday, 10/12 - Region Championships @ Layton Park

Wednesday, 10/19 - State Championships @ Sugarhouse Park - even though we can only race with 7 runners, I expect the entire TEAM to come and be a part of the race by cheering and supporting the varsity group.

The Bob Firman Invitational in Boise, ID gave us the opportunity to race against some very strong teams. It was a fun and memorable trip, highlighted by a tough race. There were 7 of the top 22 nationally ranked teams in the boys race, and we ended up with a solid 2nd place. The only team ahead of us was Arcadia, CA (currently ranked #5 and last year's national champions). We finished ahead of North Central, WA (US #10), Woodlands, TX (#11), Rancho Cucamungo, CA (#17), Trabuco Hills, CA (#21), and Mountain View, UT (#22). Brad Nye led us with a great race for 2nd place in a time of 15:50. Although it was a unseasonably hot day, Brad's time was the fastest run by a Davis athlete in the 6 years we have been attending the race. We also had a solid performance by Logan Wood, who stepped up and ran with our top 5 to finish 29th. The boys in the Division I Varsity race also ran tough and earned one of the coveted shoe trophies by finishing 3rd behind the Arcadia JV and the Ogden Varsity group. And I was probably most impressed with our boys JV performance. We ran patient and tough during the hottest part of the day - great races by Seth Thompson, Justin Schofield, Ryan Tanner, Josh Ward, Ethan Stuart, Rex Sumsion, Kimball Potter, Trevor Fry, and Isaac Clouse. Of all of the races, the JV boys averaged closest to the Murray Invite from the previous week.

The girls didn't face quite the amount of ranked teams, but still competed well against some great teams from Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, California, and other states. We finished in 5th place out of well over 100 teams entered in the meet. In the girls elite races, Joanna Boyd continued to show her strength and show that she has been working hard with her 21st place finish (1 shy of getting a back pack), but she did move up from 35th place over the 2nd half of the race. The girls Division I varsity finished in 4th place - all of the schools ahead of us were the varsity teams from their schools. We were led by Sierra Haslam, Sadie Hutchinson, and McKenzie Weir. The girls have continued to show strength and depth. We have a very young TEAM, and I expect them to work hard and come back to the same meet in a year and race for the TEAM victory. We also had a great showing in the JV race, where we pulled off the TEAM win (again at the hottest time of the day - probably 90 degrees). We had tough races from Sierra Graham, Janice Hartvigsen, Madi Bledsoe, Elise Anderson, Michaela Uresk, Nalany Resek, and Mikell Wood.

I was really impressed with our toughness from both the boys and the girls. The course was tough, and the weather was HOT, but we ran with heart and guts. I don't think it was our strongest performance of the year, but I like that we are out there giving our all - even when the circumstances aren't ideal. I have grown to expect a lot from this year's TEAM, and I am proud of how most of you are responding to those expectations. Keep working hard, and keep being positive with yourselves and each other.

I didn't have time to type of the Davis results, but you can see all the results at www.bobfirmanxc.org They also have some race video from each of the 6 races we were participating in. I also have some pictures on facebook if you would like to take a look.

Thanks to all the parents who were able to come and support the TEAM, and thanks to Jill and Charla for helping with the supervision. Overall, I felt it was a very successful trip, and I think it made us stronger as a TEAM as we head into the championship part of our season.

Thanks

Coach Talley

XC Update - Murray and Districts

2011-09-18T17:20:00.000-07:00

Darts -
This week showed what Davis Cross Country is all about. We ran hard, competed as a TEAM, had a lot of fun, and showed we are champions. It was one of the most fun weeks I have had as a coach. From racing in the rain, to the introduction of "Johnny", this has been a memorable and exciting week. The Murray Invite was definitely one of the most exciting and energetic meets I have been to in a while. Great job staying positive through a few challenges.

District Championships - We started at the Davis District Championships at Layton Park on Wednesday. As a TEAM, we were victorious in all 4 races (boys and girls--varsity and JV). The girls were led by a course record performance from Shea Martinez. She pulled away from the pack during the first mile, and never looked back on her way to a 16:38 - 26 seconds under the previous course record. It was an impressive time for running solo through most of the race. Our girls varsity group ran patient and moved up through the other groups to finish with a final score of 22. Ashley Tyndall and Joanna Boyd finished 2-3 behind Shea, and Kami Dixon moved up throughout the race to place 6th. All though all the girls ran together, if the JV runners had been separate, we would have taken the top 16 places and had a perfect score of 15. I was most impressed with the way we moved well as packs and with how much strength we showed in the final mile. Even though we have many young and new runners on this girls TEAM, we are showing that we are extremely deep and have a solid future in front of us. The full results from the meet are at http://titanxc2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/davis-county-championships.html
The boys looked equally strong in the District Championships. Preston Johnson nearly broke the course record as well. He ran the 2.75 mile course in 14:11. The course record is held by Josh Adams at 14:07. Preston's time ranks #2 on the all-time list for the course. Alex Hedquist ran tough for 2nd place (14:28) and was followed by Skylar Williams, Brayden Cromar, and Logan Wood - all 5 scorers finishing in the top 6. Even though we were saving some for the Murray Invite, it was still a TEAM time record for the District course (top 5 times combined). The JV boys had 7 of the top 10 finishers and were led by JV champ Ryan Lee (15:25). Phillip, Sam, and Korbin also finished in the top 5. As I said in the meeting on Thursday after the race, it is amazing what hard work and discipline and consistency will do for a young distance runner. We have seen some incredible improvements over the past year. Full results for the district meet are at http://titanxc2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/davis-county-championships.html

Murray Invitational -
The girls started out strong at the Murray Invite in the rookie race. Although there was quite a bit of confusion at the finish, and some of the girls would have run faster times if people hadn't forced them to run the wrong direction with 100m to go, we still grabbed 5 of the top 7 places. The rookie girls would have been about 15th out of 38 teams in the girls varsity race. Kenzie Weir was the individual champion with a time of 21:02. Hannah, Sierra, Madison, and Josey were all under 21:10. Some of the girls would have been under 21:00 without the finish confusion. The rookie girls finished 1st with 18 points (2nd place scored 67). The JV girls ran a very tough and patient race. I loved the way we moved over the second half of the race - especially Sierra, Janice, and Brooke. We were led in the race by Emily Hammond - who came back strong after collapsing in an incredible effort on Wednesday. Emily finished 2nd overall and ran a great time of 20:26. Becca also looked strong in her 6th place effort with 20:42. Sierra, Janice, and Brooke moved up to finish 7, 12, and 14 and nearly earn us the victory over the Ogden girls - but we fell just short with a final score of 37-40. Once again, if we had combined the rookie and the JV races, we would come out with the strongest JV team in the field. We had great improvements over our BYU times from Madie McCleary, Janice, Becca, Brooke, and Whitney Williams - our senior girls really ran tough this week. On average, other teams' runners were running 5-10 seconds slower than at BYU, but our girls averaged 3 seconds faster per girl. The girls varsity race was a lot of fun to watch. It was extremely intense, and we responded well to the challenge. Most of the best girls teams and individuals from Utah were in the race with 38 total teams. Shea ran with the lead group and finished 7th with a time of 18:36 - she is looking stronger each week (especially when considering it was 2 days after the district course record). Joanna continues to tear it up with her 19th place finish (4th among 5A runners). Chelsey Johnson was our big surprise of the meet - finishing as our 3rd girl in her first varsity race. She finished with a big pr (20:02) and a 44th place finish (10th among 5A runners). Ashley Tyndall also ran solid for 45th (11th for 5A). Kami Dixon and Aimee Vance finished right together - both with great kicks - in 20:18 and 20:19 - 62nd and 63rd (18th and 19th for 5A). It was Aimee's first varsity race as well, and although she was completely freaked out, she ran an incredibly smart and strong race. The girls finished 3rd behind Ogden and Skyline - both nationally ranked teams. The meet did show us that both Lehi and Alta (and maybe a few others) will be gunning for us at the state championships for 5A. We need to keep seeing improvements and stay humble and keep working hard. Full results can be found on runnercard.com. Our TEAM results can be found at the bottom of the email.
The boys looked strong against the 45 team field. The 2nd set of national rankings came out again this week, and our boys remained at 9th place in the ESPN rankings - and we ran like a top 10 TEAM on Friday. And I am not just talking about the varsity group, but all the way through we had boys pushing hard and running with passion and determination. We started with a first place TEAM effort in the rookie boys race. Our rookies are really starting to show some solid progression. Justin Schofield nearly got the win, but ran into a lady close to the finish. He held on for 2nd place - just half a second behind the winner. (It looks like he is following in his brother's footsteps who ran a great first marathon in 3:07 yesterday at the Top of Utah Marathon - way to go Zach). Josh Ward moved extremely well over the last mile of the race to place 9th in 18:25. Tommy Moncur was 17th, Ryan Clark was 23rd, and Ethan Stuart was 28th - to finish off our top 5. We won with 72 points (over 2nd place Riverton with 125). In the middle of the boys JV race is where the fun really began, amidst some rain, thunder, and a little lightning, the boys ran away with the victory by scoring 21 points. Hayden Hansen got the individual win followed by Jackson Sagers in 2nd, Austin Allred in 4th, Ryan Lee in 5th, and Phillip Baker in 9th. Those 5 boys would have finished 8th place in the 45 team varsity field. The varsity boys ran tough through some pouring rain, placing 5 in the top 10 at an invite for the 2nd week in a row. This time we went 2-4-6-8-10. Brad Nye just about got the individual victory with 15:42, Brayden Cromar showed what he was capable of with 15:53, Preston Johnson might have been a little tired after his stellar Wednesday race - but still showed his tremendous strength with a 6th place 16:16, Alex continues to amaze me with his 16:19 for 8th, and Skylar is ready for a huge breakthrough and finished 10th with 16:24. Our final score of 30 was good enough to win by 126 points. Our combined top 5 times also shattered our TEAM time record for the Murray course. Andrew Aposhian looked solid in his first varsity race with a time of 17:00, and Logan Wood ran a gutsy effort for 17:02 with only one shoe over the second half of the course. Again, we have a lot of great competition in front of us. We are close to where we want to be at this point in the season, but it will take continued focus and TEAM work and humility to get us where we want to be in 5 weeks (state) and 9 weeks (NXN).

Fremont Region Meet - we will not be attending in order to prepare for the Bob Firman Invite on Saturday.

Bob Firman - We will be taking 50 members of the TEAM to Boise for the Bob Firman Invitational this next Friday and Saturday. We will be leaving the school on Friday morning at 7:00am - plan on meeting at 6:45. The $100 is due by Tuesday. Please pay in the office and bring me the receipt.

Cross Country Update - BYU Invite

2011-09-11T18:13:00.001-07:00

Darts -
It was a very impressive Saturday for the Darts at the BYU Invite. We finished in the top 3 as a TEAM in all 6 of the races, and we brought home 46 t-shirts for finishing in the top 30 as individuals. It was good to see so many of you looking focused and prepared during the races. We thought that it was a good TEAM effort - you were running in packs, competing together, pushing each other, and helping each other out. We were also very pleased with your strong finishes. We felt like the majority of the TEAM kicked very well when we got onto the track.

The boys races started off with the freshmen and sophomores. Our top 5 finishers (Josh, Tommy, Ethan, Kimball, and Alex) snagged the victory over Mountain View by 12 points. I thought Josh moved particularly well through the middle of the race, then had a monster kick on the track. Reminds me of his older siblings. The JV boys weren't far off the perfect score from a year ago. We finished with 5 of the top 7 places and 10 in the top 20. Logan Wood pulled away for the individual victory with an impressive 16:47. Andrew Aposhian was 2nd with a strong kick in 16:59. The varsity boys race really showed that we have worked hard for this season. Our top 5 boys all finished in the top 7. Brad Nye got the victory with a 15:50, Preston Johnson was 2nd overall with 16:00, Alex and Brayden were 4-5 (both running 16:11), and Skylar came through at 16:20. I thought Hayden and Jackson also fought hard in their first varsity performances. We dominated the race, but this is not the end by any means - we will continue to work hard, stay humble, and stay focused on our goals. Davis Results are below - full results can be found at www.runnercard.com

The girls races showed our depth once again. We started off in the freshman/sophomore race with 7 of the top 12. Madison Garlock looked strong in her first ever cross country race with the 20 second victory and a time of 19:46 (would have been 20th in the varsity race). Chelsey, Kenzie, Josey, and Elise were our other scorers as pulled off the TEAM victory. Elise had a killer kick to pass 3 or 4 girls over the final 200 meters. The JV girls also looked strong as they faced off with a very good Ogden team. Ogden is currently ranked 13th in the U.S. We looked like we had a victory in the JV race for a while, but it just slipped away over the last 800m. We still had very strong, gutsy performances from our girls in the race and we finished with 6 girls in the top 14. We were led by Sierra Haslam (5th) Aimee Vance (6th) and Hannah Albrechtsen (8th). I was really impressed with the way all the girls in this race fought over the final mile of the race. In the girls varsity race, we were facing some tough competition from Ogden, Mountain View, and Mountain Crest (all ranked among the best in the state). We were missing Ellie, but had some other girls really step up and we finished in 3rd place. Shea was our top finisher in 7th, Joanna had a great race to finish 12th overall, and Ashley Tyndall, Kami Dixon, and Sadie Hutchinson all looked very strong and poised in their first shot at running in a varsity race. We have a bright future ahead for the girls TEAM. Davis Results are below - full results can be found at www.runnercard.com

Overall, some very solid performances. I felt this was one of our better TEAM races over the past few years. However, we must continue to build off of this. We need to continue to bring energy and purpose to the workouts. And we need to continue to do the small things that will make us stronger - abs, weights, plenty of sleep, getting plenty of sleep, cooling down, stretching, icing, etc. Let's put a lot into the next 2 weeks as we prepare for our biggest race of the regular season (Bob Firman).

Parents Night - We were lucky to have the opportunity to listen to BYU Coach Ed Eyestone on Wednesday night. Thanks to those of you who were able to attend. I hope you were all inspired, as I was, to "run like a horse" in all that you do in life.

Coming Up -
District Championships - will be at Layton Park on Wednesday (the 14th). The JV boys will race at 3:30, all girls will race at 4:00, and the varsity boys will be at 4:30. If there are parents who would like to bring popsicles again - please let me know (I will have the cooler there). The race is 2.75 miles.
Murray Invitational - will be on Friday at Murray Park in Salt Lake. The first race begins at 4:00pm. I will send out another email with more information and an exact schedule of races. The Murray race is a 5k.

Cross Country Update #2

2011-09-04T15:06:00.001-07:00

Darts -
The season is officially in full swing. We had our 2nd meet of the year this past week on Wednesday. The pre-region race at Layton Park showed that we are going to be very strong in the region this year. The girls and the boys both came away with 1st place TEAM finishes in both varsity and JV.
In the girls race, Shea Martinez ran a very strong 2nd mile to pull away for the victory. Her 11:56 was the 2nd fastest time ever run on the 2 mile pre-region course. Shea was followed by Joanna Boyd, Emily Hammond, Ashley Tyndall, and Kami Dixon. All 5 of our scores placed in the top 7 to give us a final of 19 points. For those of you new to cross country, a perfect score is 15 points. Cross country scores are determined by adding together the places for the top 5 runners on your team. The team with the lowest score wins. So, a 1-2-3-4-5 finish gives you a perfect 15. There are typically 7 runners in the varsity race and the remaining runners race in the JV race. If you remove the top 7 from every team in the girls race, our JV girls would have finished 1st through 20th - to win the JV race with a perfect 15. It shows we have some incredible depth. Our best improvements this week were by Michaela Uresk, Katie Frandsen, and Becca Albrechtsen.
In the boys JV race, we did end with a perfect score of 15. Ryan Lee was the JV champ in 10:59, Taylor Goldsberry was right behind in 11:01, Phillip Baker, Korbin Birrell, and Ryan Tanner rounded out our top 5. It was good to see some of our young, new boys making a good improvement over the grass relays from a week ago.
In the varsity race, our boys had 10 of the top 12 places for a final score of 17. Brad Nye narrowly missed the course record but ran a great time of 10:05 - only 1 second off of Neuner's 10:04 from last year. Preston Johnson placed 2nd overall, Brayden Cromar was 3rd, Alex Hedquist was 5th, and Skylar Williams was 6th. We looked stronger than we did a week ago, but still need to work on our final 1/2 mile of the race.
Overall it was a good meet. The weather was hot (90 degrees), but we looked strong. As coaches, we are happy about the beginning of the season, but we are really looking for some of you to step up your performances over the next few weeks. It is important that we take these early races as an opportunity to learn to run as a TEAM, learn to push through the pain, and learn to finish races with strength and determination. It is also important to be patient and to realize that it doesn't come all at once. Keep working hard and stay focused. Full results from the pre-region meet can be found at www.regiononetrack.blogspot.com

Our next big test will be at the BYU Invitational this coming Saturday. The boys will see a strong team from Mountain View who has been running with a very tight 1-4 gap, and the girls are going to face our big 5A competition from the Alta team who was missing a few of their top girls at the Grass Relays. It will also be our first chance at racing a 5k.
We have an important week in front of us as far as training goes. Please come to each of the practices with the right mind-set. That mind-set would be with a determination to run hard and be extra positive through the workouts. I also want each of you training with purpose and with TEAMwork. Be excited for what we have coming up. . .
Thanks for your commitment and sacrifice -
Coach Talley

Season Update #1 - Grass Relays

2011-08-28T17:06:00.001-07:00

Darts -
It is nice to get the season started with a successful showing at the Grass Relays yesterday. Although it was quite hot throughout the morning, we had some very strong early season times. Both our boys and our girls finished up the varsity relay (5 x 2 miles) with 2nd place finishes in a very strong field on both sides. The boys ran our fastest TEAM time in 9 years of running the relays. We finished with a time of 53:53 - which also ranks us in the top 10 team times ever run on the course. We finished 2nd to American Fork (52:48) who looks stronger than expected. We will also see some good competition from the Mountain View team who finished 3rd in 54:31. The boys JV team looked strong and gained the victory in the Junior/Senior division, but we would have been a close 2nd to American Fork in the JV races if they had been combined (also to A.F.). Our boys were led by Preston (5th overall), Brad (6th overall), and Cromar (15th overall). We also had strong JV performances by Allred (2nd in the junior/senior), and Logan (5th in the junior/senior). All of the times are listed at the bottom of this email.
The girls finished with a time of 65:44 to finish 2nd by about :30 behind a very strong Skyline team. It was a very positive start for our girls in both the Varsity and the JV races. We had 16 girls run under 14:00 - our previous most was 11. If we combine our 5 best times of the day, we are right behind the time our state championship TEAM ran a year ago. The girls would have won both of the JV races as well - with 5 of the top 18 places in the freshman/sophomore race, and 8 of the top 21 in the junior/senior race. Our girls were led by Shea (5th overall) and Ellie (9th overall). We also had great performances by Ashley (winning junior/senior), Kami (5th in the junior/senior), and Aimee-Hannah-Chelsey (who finished 2-3-4 in the freshman/sophomore race). All of the times are listed at the bottom of this email.
I thought overall we had some ups and downs - but mostly ups. Our TEAM looks strong coming off of a solid summer - and we hope to improve from where we are. I hope that some of you were excited about your performances and thinking about how you can run even faster and stronger, and I know that some of you left the race feeling slightly unsatisfied - or maybe even a bit discouraged. To those of you who were a little down after the race - I say, it is only one race. We have many more opportunities to test ourselves. Don't beat yourselves up over the first race. Stay positive and stay motivated. Running is full of ups and downs - but the great thing is that you will always get another chance at redemption. I will be watching for each of you to step it up in the next few weeks. As you gain experience and fix your mistakes and get stronger (both mentally and physically) we hope that you will show us what you are really made of. One of the things I felt we can work on as a TEAM is racing with passion - really racing, not just running hard. One of the things I thought we did great as a TEAM was to support each other and cheer for each other (we were the best TEAM out there at showing support for our runners).

Coming up this week -
Monday - we are doing mile repeats at Lagoon trails - we might be done with practice a little later than normal, but we will try to hurry.
Wednesday - Pre-Region at Layton Park. The boys JV will race at 3:30, all girls will race at 3:50, and the varsity boys will race at 4:10 (this will be the top 10 boys from the grass relays). We will be excused from school at 1:45 and leave on the bus at 2:00. I will send an excuse list to the junior highs for 1:45 as well. 9th graders from Kaysville and Farmington should try to be on the bus at 2:00. 9th graders from Fairfield and Centennial can meet us at Layton Park as close to 2:15 as possible.
Thursday - just a reminder that the parents' night has been changed to Thursday, September the 8th at 7:00pm in the cafeteria at Davis High. BYU Men's Cross Country Coach - Ed Eyestone will be our guest speaker this year. I have heard him speak a few times before, and it is very inspiring. Don't miss it.
Saturday - we will meet at the school at 7:00am - most likely to travel to the Ogden trails for a distance run.

Eligibility - if you have not finished your eligibility papers or paid your fee, please do so early this week.

Summer Update - Week 10

2011-08-08T10:53:00.001-07:00

Darts -
It is hard to believe that we are down to the final 2 weeks of summer training. For the most part, I am pleased with the first 10 weeks. We have had our ups and downs, but I have seen a lot of improvement and commitment, and we are accomplishing our goal of building a solid base for our TEAM and I think many of you are going to be ready for the season. The final 2 weeks of the summer means it is time to get more intense with our training. For those of you who have been running higher mileage (50+ for the boys and 40+ for the girls) these last 2 weeks might even be slightly lower as we add in some more intervals and the Dart Challenge 5k (August 20th). I know that at times during the summer it is a challenge to stay motivated and to run on your own - but these last 2 weeks you have got to find some motivation to be consistently running. It will really prepare you for the first week of school when we begin to meet every day after school as a TEAM.
High Altitude Camp was a HUGE success. We were worried about the weather going into the camp, but we got lucky and were able to have a solid week of training and a fun week of playing. I want to thank all of the parents who helped with the driving and especially the parents who were able to camp with us through part or all of the week. Thanks to Brad and his kids, and Janae and Kenneth for all of their help in making the camp memorable. Thanks to the alumni who were able to come - you will all be greatly missed. And thanks to the athletes who earned the opportunity to attend the camp and made it so much fun. I was proud of the work we put in this past week, I was proud of your attitudes and your excitement for what we are doing, and I was proud of our TEAM for being unified and well-behaved. I didn't get to announce our "camper of the week" - but that was Brooke Gutzwiller. Thanks, Brooke, for always being so helpful and for working so hard and setting an example to us all. We are going to be doing things like cross country camp throughout the year (Bob Firman in Boise, Nike Regionals in Arizona, Simplot in Pocatello, and other fun things). The way to be involved in those things is to work hard, be committed and dedicated, and show me that you want to be part of the group that gets to do the extra things we do as a TEAM. I put some camp pictures on facebook - I don't think you need to be a "friend" of mine to see them - feel free to check them out. Good Times.
At cross country camp, we talked a lot about setting goals and doing the work it takes to accomplish your goals. I hope that you all have some type of purpose with your running. It does not matter what level of runner you are, you can all make contributions to our TEAM, and you can all learn to push yourselves and accomplish your own goals. We definitely like to win and be successful, but more importantly, we like to see you learning and growing and improving as runners and as individuals. As we begin racing in the next few weeks, do your best to analyze how your running is going and what kinds of things you can do to improve. Janae stresses the "little things" with running (abs, lifting, stretching, hydrating, diet, icing, etc) - all of those things combined can really make a big difference - and can really help you to see some progress. I would like to add PATIENCE to that list. Be positive through your challenges and setbacks. Realize that it takes time to see the improvements and the progress. It doesn't always happen overnight - or even over one season. Just because you might not be where you want to be right away, doesn't mean you should get discouraged or quit. One of the things that makes running so rewarding is that it takes time - and that it is NOT easy. The toughness of it, the challenges you will face, and the ups and downs are what will help you to feel satisfaction and pride for what you are able to do.
I hope that each of you will put a lot of heart and a lot of passion into the next few weeks of training and racing. I want to see people doing their best and learning from their mistakes. We are not going to see perfection right away, but we can give our best efforts from the start. I will never ask you to be a state champion - but I will ask you to do your best. The pre-season cross country polls have our boys ranked 6th in the U.S. (http://rise.espn.go.com/track-and-xc/rankings/harrier-xc/2011/Preseason.aspx) It is a little higher than I thought we would start - but it is totally within our reach. The girls' TEAM is going to have a lot of new faces on our varsity, and some people are probably not expecting us to be that tough - but I am seeing a TEAM that is filled with excitement, teamwork, and toughness. And I think our girls are going to surprise a lot of people - and even have a shot at another state championship. On both sides we can accomplish some remarkable things this fall as a TEAM. We are going to need to stay humble, passionate, and tough. And we are going to have to be a TEAM the whole way through.
*Make sure to send in your mileage for last week and any other weeks you haven't sent in. If you are not sure how much you ran at camp - just tell me camp + what you did on Saturday.

This week's workouts:
Tuesday, August 9th (tomorrow) - Meet at Barnes Park at 7:00am - we are going to do a 3 mile tempo run and a few strides on the grass. (This was not on the original schedule).
Thursday, Auguts 11th - Meet at Davis at 7:00am - we are running up to Nichols Park for some intervals.

Dart Challenge 5k: I will have registration fliers at all of the practices from now until the race. I will also send out an email. I hope that all of you are planning on running (even if you are not "ready" for it). It is how we start the season, and it is expected that you be there. It will be on August 20th at 8:00am at Barnes Park. Try to recruit some friends, family, or neighbors to join us.

Shoes: Make sure that you are training in good running shoes. Striders in Layton is a great place to go - because they get you in the right pair of shoes. For cross country racing, it is good to get a pair of cross country spikes. Look for ones with rubber soles that have places for spikes (even if you don't end up racing with the spikes in) plus you can wear them when we get to indoor and outdoor track. eastbay.com is a good place to order shoes - and they sometimes have some great deals. Although cross country racing shoes are not necessary, I definitely encourage you to pick up a pair - because they will help you race faster. Here are some links to some good shoes from eastbay -

Bair Gutsman - Congrats to graduates Logan Petty, Adam Mathias, and Matt Swanson for their top 10 finishes at the Bair Gutsman last Saturday - definitely one of the toughest races you can run. All 3 of them got lost, but they were all able to finish strong.

Keep up the good running -
Coach Talley

Summer Update - Week 7

2011-07-18T12:27:00.001-07:00

Darts -
The email this week is pretty simple. Great job at the vita course this morning. I could tell that most of you ran hard and gave good efforts like we had asked you to. A big part of being a good runner is having self-discipline and self-motivation. I don't think too many of your parents are forcing you to get out of bed early in the morning for TEAM runs or for running on your own--it is mostly up to you to get yourselves going and to make sure that you run when you need to run. It takes personal commitment and discipline. So many of you are doing an outstanding job this summer of working hard and being committed to improving. I have really enjoyed your reading your training logs and watching you push yourselves at practice, and I am giving the TEAM one huge GREAT JOB! The work is going to pay off this season. Keep running hard and having fun and don't get too discouraged if you have set backs (which you will). Stay positive and never give up.

Thank you very much to all of those who helped with the Legacy Midnight Run - including 4-5 parents. Some of the volunteers were there til after 1:30am on Saturday. I appreciate you giving the time and helping the TEAM out.

I have attached the new training schedule. This will take us through the final 5 weeks of the summer (how sad is that?). The key here is that you start running faster and faster - keep recovery days in your schedule, but work hard on the hard days. This is where we start to get back into cross country racing shape. Let me know if you have any questions.

I have also attached a Deseret News 10k registration form. If you would like to do the 10k, please get the form filled out and bring it to me at Thursday's practice with $20. If you can't get it to me on Thursday, send me an email or a text, and we will figure something out. We will be entering the high school TEAM divisions for both the boys and the girls. The race begins at 6:00am up near the University of Utah. On Thursday after practice, we will have a quick meeting and make some plans about how we will get down to the race.

Thursday, July 21 - Meet at Layton Park at 7:00am - we will be doing a tempo run. I am giving a special invite to any of you who have not made it to a practice yet (or haven't been in a while). This would be a good one to start with. I will bring popsicles.

Saturday, August 20th - Dart Challenge 5k. All of you should be planning on racing the 5k and try to get family and friends to come as well (it is a fundraiser for the TEAM).

Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. Send in your week 7 mileage if you haven't already.
Thanks
Coach Talley

"Distance runners are experts at pain, discomfort, and fear. You're not coming away feeling good. It's a matter of how much pain you can deal with on those days. it's not a strategy. It's just a callusing of the mind and body to deal with discomfort... That's the nature of their game. Taking pain." - Running with the Buffaloes (Taken from Dan Wybrow's facebook page)

Summer Update #6

2011-07-11T19:00:00.001-07:00

Darts -
It is hard to believe that we are 6 weeks into the summer training - and that the weeks that count for summer mileage are already half way over. I think it has been a decent first half of summer. Many of you have worked hard and increased your mileage and trained consistently through these first weeks. But we have to be even stronger over the 2nd half of the summer. I know that it can be tough to stay focused over 12 weeks of the summer. It is much easier to be lazy and to just look for "fun" things to do through the summer. But I promise you that you will be happier if you put in some work with your play. You will come out of the summer with a higher fitness level, and you will be satisfied that you accomplished something as an individual and as a TEAM.
As a TEAM, the girls are at 6,324 combined miles. Last year we were at 6,630 after the first 6 weeks, and we ended the summer with 12,821 (a TEAM record). I really think we can break the TEAM record and finish over 13,000 miles, but it is going to take a TEAM effort. Many of you have dropped off a little over the past few weeks, and Janae and I are challenging you to re-focus and to set some goals and to help the TEAM get over 13,000 miles. I have attached the summer miles up to this point. Let me know if you see any errors or if I am missing a week that you have reported. If you have any blank weeks, let me know and I will fill them in and we will go from there. If you haven't sent in a single week, but would like to help the TEAM over the second half of the summer, start sending me your weekly training log and I will add you to the list. We have been successful over the years because we are willing to work hard and run more than most other teams do over the summer. I want to commend those of you who have been working hard for your TEAM, and I want to challenge all of you to work even harder over the second half of the summer so that we are tougher than ever when the season arrives.
The boys are sitting at 7,863 combined miles. Some of the boys have really caught fire and are consistently reporting solid weeks, but many of the boys have fallen off or leveled off. I think we can get 9,000 miles over the second half of the summer and end close to 17,000. It won't quite be a record (18,098 from 2010), but it will be a huge TEAM accomplishment. The same challenge goes to the boys as I gave to the girls. Get involved, increase your mileage, make a commitment to work harder and run more - and as a TEAM, let's see if we can break 17,000 miles. Even if you have not sent in a single week, you can still start to contribute and help us reach our goal.
Look at what you did for the first half of the summer, and set a goal for the second half. Then try to make a general plan on how you are going to reach that overall mileage goal over the final 6 weeks of the summer. I would look at it in two 3 week building cycles. For example - you might go 35-40-35, then 40-45-50 to total 245 miles over the final 6 weeks of the summer. Not only will it make you a stronger, more committed runner, but it will help our TEAM complete one of our best summers ever.

I want you all to work on your TOUGHNESS. You don't have to run "all-out" every time - but practice pushing your limits. Get your lungs used to the burning, and your legs used to the aching, and your heart used to the pounding. And then get your mind ready to overcome any doubts and fears. You have to make yourselves used to the uncomfortable pace and push your way through it physically and mentally. All of us can run harder than our minds currently think. All of us can increase our pain tolerance - and become tougher mentally. One thing that will give you mental toughness and confidence is completing hard workouts where you really give your all. It does not matter how fast you are - but it does matter that you learn to run your best and challenge yourself. Our workouts will start to get harder and harder from this week on.

Janae is going to write up an email on nutrition. You should see that email in the next week or so. Nutrition is another area where you can help yourselves have more energy and recover more quickly.

This week's schedule -
Wednesday - Varsity Run - meet at the school at 7:00am
Thursday - Everyone meet at the school at 7:00am - we are driving over to the Lagoon Trails for mile repeats
Monday (the 18th) - Vita Course @ 7:00am

High Altitude Camp - I have given out the invitations and the information for the high altitude camp (August 1-5). Please let me know if you have any questions or if any of you who are on the list I sent out last week will be unable to go. I have a few alternates in mind, and I will invite the alternates if any of the original list is unable to go. Also, let me know if you would like to be considered for the alternate list.

Legacy Midnight Run - Thanks to those who have volunteered to help with the Legacy Midnight Half Marathon, 10k, and 5k. We will meet at the Farmington Frontrunner Station (by the new Harmon's) at 8:30pm on Friday. We should be done around 12:30am. This will earn $1000 for the program. Let me know if you have any questions. I am still looking for about 10 volunteers to add to the following list of people who have emailed me that they would be able to help. Let me know if I somehow missed you.

Deseret News 10k - If any of you are interested in running the Deseret News 10k as a member of the Davis TEAM, please let me know. ANYONE can run it - the cost is $20 if you register with a high school team. We will NOT be staying down in Salt Lake like we have in past years. Instead, we will need to coordinate rides early in the morning on Monday, July 25th to get down to the race. If you would like to run, just let me know and I will get you a registration form.

Dart Challenge 5k - Will be on August 20th. I will send out the entry forms soon. Try to get family and friends excited to run with us. It is a fundraiser for the TEAM.

Summer Cross Country - Update #5

2011-07-02T10:28:00.000-07:00

Darts -
I was very impressed with your efforts and performances this week at the vita course and at the Layton Park mile repeats. This was probably our hardest week of the summer so far, and you responded well. Nearly everyone who made it to the practices was running hard and learning from the practice. Congrats to both Preston Johnson and Brad Nye for running faster than the previous record on the Vita Course. For those of you who have not been coming to TEAM practices and maybe have not been running this summer, I hope you know that it is still okay to start now. It is not too late by any means to still get some solid base out of your summer training. I think you will find the workouts fun and challenging and you will find that it is nice to be running with people who will push you to be better. If you are afraid that you are too slow or not ready, don't let that keep you from experiencing DXC. We have runners at all levels - and no one there is as ready as they want to be - we are working together to get faster and stronger and more ready. You will meet some good people at the practices, and I might even bring popsicles.
Keep doing the little things that are going to make you better and keep you healthy - get enough sleep, eat right, do your abs and pushups and weights, make sure you are stretching regularly, and ice if you need to ice. In addition to all of the things you can do to train physically, don't neglect the mental side of preparation. Practice pushing through the times that you want to slow down or run more comfortably. When you get to the point in a run where you are having doubts about how fast you can go - fight those doubts with positive self talk. Believe in yourselves and believe that you will get stronger from the work you are putting in. Set goals and make plans for what you are going to do each week to get the mileage you want. And try to develop a love for running and how it makes you feel.
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
I hope you had a great week 5 - send me your miles!!
Enjoy your 4th of July weekend.
Coach Talley

Next Week's Schedule -
Monday, July 4th - no TEAM practice. I know that many of you are running the Kaysville 5k or 10k - good luck!
Tuesday, July 5th - Vita Course at 7:00am
Wednesday, July 6th - you are on your own (no varsity run)
Thursday, July 7th - meet at the school at 7:00am.
Friday and Saturday - you are on your own.

Legacy Midnight Run - I am looking for volunteers to help at the aid stations and the finish line of the Legacy Midnight Run on Friday, July 15th. We will be meeting at the Farmington Frontrunner station at 8:30pm and we will be done around 12:30am. You do not need to be on the team to volunteer (family and friends are welcome). I need 25 volunteers - and the race has agreed to donate $1,000 to the program. It should be fun - and they will give each of the volunteers a t-shirt and glow sticks. It is a great way for us to earn some money (which is much needed at this point).

High Altitude Camp - On Tuesday next week, I will have a list of those invited to high altitude camp (August 1-5 at Marsh Lake in the Uintahs). I will also email out the list and the waiver with more information about the camp. I will be inviting you based on summer mileage through the first 5 weeks, attendance at practice, communication with me, and on your ability to handle the intense week of training at a high altitude. I will be able to bring about 50 of you.

Dart Challenge 5k - will be on August 20th at 8:00 am at Barnes Park. Keep the day open if possible - it is a fundraiser for the program and our first TEAM race of the season.

Shin Splints - many of you have had questions about shin splints - Janae has the following answers. . .

Hello all,

I've noticed as I've been reading through your mileage report emails that several of you are complaining of shin splints. Some of the aches and pains that many of you are feeling are a part of your body getting used to the running. However, it is important that we take care of these aches and pains before they turn into more serious issues. Here is an article that my husband Ken wrote that provides some great tips to help you overcome shin splints. http://blog.utahrunning.com/shin-splints-secrets/

Summer Cross Country - Update #4

2011-06-24T22:42:00.000-07:00

Darts -
It is hard to believe that the summer training is already 1/3 of the way done. Four weeks are in the books. For some of you, it has been a really solid start - you are building a base and gaining strength and endurance and fitness. For others, it might have been a rough start - but there is definitely still time to turn it around. I hope that all of you are still motivated and trying to find ways to make your training work. I think the middle part of the summer (now until the end of July) is the most challenging. The excitement of starting up has worn off, you might be a little tired from some hard training, this is the busy time of summer, and it is getting hotter and hotter. Now is the most important time to be committed and motivated to get the running in. We are still in the strength building phase - trying to get our hearts and lungs strong and used to the longer racing - trying to build mental toughness and get used to being uncomfortable for an extended period of time - basically turning ourselves into endurance machines. It is work - but it will pay off this fall.
I was very impressed with those of you who came and ran the tempo run on Thursday. I realize that many people were out of town - I hope that not too many of you were at home in your beds being comfortable rather than joining your TEAM for a tough run in the sun. We ran the same 3 mile loop we have run the 4th week of the summer for the past 2 summers. As I was looking back through the past 2 years' times and comparing them to this year, one thing that was very evident is that hard work and determination pay off. Isaac Clouse ran the same 3 mile tempo run 2 years ago in 31:17 - Thursday he finished the loop in 19:20 - and looked really strong through the 2nd half of the run. With some hard work, he has taken 12 minutes off of a 3 mile time. Isaac Clouse also has the TEAM's 3rd most miles after the first 3 weeks of the summer. He may not be the top guy on the TEAM, but he is training like a champion - and that helps him and it motivates his teammates to be better as well. Thank you Isaac Clouse for reminding me why we do this - to challenge ourselves and to become better at something. Don't be discouraged right now if you are not as fast as you would like to be someday. Set some goals, and realize that it is going to take time and consistency and work to become your best.
If we are going to accomplish our TEAM and individual goals this fall, it will take sacrifice for the next few weeks. Get yourselves excited about your training. I know it is a little hard to think about the season when it seems far away, but it will be here quicker than you think. Pretty soon we are going to be running the Dart Challenge 5k and the Grass Relays - and you are going to want to be as ready as you can be. Let's really try hard as a TEAM to have a good week 5 - even if you have not had a very good week 1-4. I expect to get emails from each of you about week 4 - and I want you to tell me how awesome you are going to do in week 5!

Assignment - I would also like each of you to tell me something in your training logs this week about your own running that makes you proud - some type of accomplishment or personal victory that you have had in your first 4 weeks of the summer. I hope you realize that we are working together - that we are hurting together - and sacrificing together in order to be a stronger TEAM. I know that I don't "count" as far as my own fitness and my own racing goes (I won't be able to race with you) - but it still motivates me to know that I have a TEAM that is working hard right along with me - that I am not the only one who is sacrificing and pushing myself to become better.

High Altitude Camp - Next week I will begin to determine who is ready and has put in the miles to be invited to high altitude camp. The camp will be at Marsh Lake in the Uintahs from August 1-5. I will have more information for you next week. If there are any parents who are interested in coming up for all or part of the week - please let me know. We are looking for a few more chaperones. Also - if anyone has a large, enclosed trailer that they would be willing to let us borrow or rent, please let me know. Thanks.

Keep up the good work - and have fun doing it.
See you at the Vita Course on Monday at 7:00am.
Happy Running -
Coach Talley

Boys Mileage Total (after 3 weeks) - 3,995 miles
Girls Mileage Total (after 3 weeks) - 3,239 miles

ps. To help enhance recovery after a run - try to take in 8-12 grams of protein as well as some carbohydrates within 15-20 minutes of your run. A good source of both protein and carbs would be chocolate milk. Then make sure you are drinking a lot throughout the day in order to keep your body hydrated (it will make your running a lot more pleasant).

pps. A lot of you have asked me about side aches when you are running. 1 - make sure you are hydrated; 2- make sure you are getting enough electrolytes (potassium, sodium, etc) gatorade and bananas are good sources; 3 - try to run more relaxed - relax your breathing or learn to run while breathing in rhythm (2 steps in - 2 steps out or 1 step in - 1 step out). 4 - Do more core work to strengthen your stomach muscles (abs, pushups, pillars, etc) Hannah Haws likes to do an "Insanity" workout to strengthen her core - she recommends it to everyone. 5 - make sure you are not eating too close to when you run.

Summer Cross Country - Update #3

2011-06-20T15:43:00.001-07:00

Darts -
It was a good week for Davis XC. I really enjoyed the "kick-off" camp. It was fun to get to know some of you better. The running was hard, and we had a lot of fun. I really liked what Janae said about doing the little things to make yourself better (abs, stretching, diet, sleep, your own training log, etc.). Thanks to those of you who were able to come and for the parents who were able to help us get you there and back - a special thanks to the Woods for making dinner for us.

Wasatch Back:
Later in the week, the TEAM competed in the Wasatch Back Relay. It is a 193 mile relay from Logan to Park City along the back of the Wasatch Mountains. Most teams consist of 12 people who each run 3 different times - totaling anywhere from 13 to 20 miles for each person. We had a boys team and a girls team entered in the relay. For the 6th straight year, both the boys and the girls finished 1st in the high school division. The boys ran the entire race in 20 hours and 29 minutes - which is equivalent to about 6:22 per mile - over some fairly difficult terrain. Only 2 teams were able to do the relay faster - the team of BYU runners and the team of UVU runners. I have to give our boys special props for beating the team I run with every year which consists of a group of Weber State Alumni. We are getting older, but we are still pretty strong runners - however, not strong enough to hold off the Davis boys - they ended up beating us by 8 minutes, and I was really proud of the guts and the toughness our boys showed. Good job to Preston, Skylar, Alex, Hayden, Neuner, Brayden, Austin, Brad, Logan, Matt, Adam, and Joe.
The girls also finished as the 3rd best women's team in the entire relay. They finished the course in 26 hours and 10 minutes (about 8:05 pace). Every time I saw them, they inspired me with their positive attitudes and their energy. I know that the running was challenging for them (it is tough for everyone), but they focused on doing their best and helping each other along the way. They demonstrated what it takes to be a TEAM, and I was super proud of their efforts and toughness as well. Excellent work by Jessica, Janice, Becca, Julia, Whitney, Ashley, Hannah, Anni, Brooke, Shea, Anna, and Madi.

Thanks to the parents who helped us with the driving and provided a lot of inspiration - Brad, April, Venice, Charla and Brett, Sydney, and Caleb and Spence (even though i know you are not parents - you still helped out a bunch).

Important:
We are NOT meeting on Tuesday (tomorrow) as the original workout paper said. We will be meeting as a TEAM on Thursday at the school for a tempo run and a few 400s. See you there at 7:00 am. I will bring the popsicles.
We will also begin meeting for varsity runs on Wednesday - I will be inviting you if you qualify for these runs - we will be meeting at the school at 7:00am. Let me know if you have questions about this.
I have attached the 2nd workout schedule for the summer. I will also have these with me to hand out on Thursday.

If you are getting these emails, but have not really been running on your own or with us, I encourage you to make a decision about what you are going to do with your summer (at least the running part of it). It is not too late to start working toward the cross country season. It is not too late to start running with us and building a foundation that will really help you in the fall. I hope that you will decide to give a better effort and really put something into this - if you do - I think you will get a lot out of it. Mostly I just want to see each of you doing your best.

Learn to push yourself, have confidence in your ability to improve, get to know your teammates, and keep working hard.
Thanks
Coach Talley

Cross Country Summer Update #1

2011-06-09T17:23:00.001-07:00

Darts -
I enjoyed reading about your running adventures for the first week of summer. Some of you need to be a little more detailed - I am not looking for novels, but I like when you are detailed about how you felt and where you went and how much time it took, etc. It looks like many of you were busy and didn't get quite the start you would have liked for your summer training. I hope that you don't let this get you down. Just re-focus and do better in these next few weeks. We had a great turn-out at the Vita Course on Monday - but I would like to see even more of you there this next Monday. If you didn't come and you are having 2nd thoughts about cross country - give it an honest try for a few weeks and see if it is something you would like to do before you give up on it completely.

Our entire purpose of the first 6 weeks of summer is to build a solid base. This comes from running miles and strengthening your heart and lungs. The better your base is, the harder you will be able to train in the later months and when the season gets here. I think these early weeks of summer training can really improve your mental toughness as well. Keep working on being positive and building confidence in yourself. Believe that you can overcome your challenges and that you can be the best runner you can be. That is what this is all about - giving your best efforts.

One of the challenges to summer running - or running in general - is the fight against LAZINESS. It would be so much easier to sleep in or to spend the day in front of the T.V. playing video games, eating cheese puffs, and getting out of shape. Choosing to run and to be on the Davis XC TEAM is the harder way - especially during the summer. You should be proud of the fact that you are working hard for something and that you are sacrificing the easy life to get out of bed early in the morning and push your body, rather than just having a typical high school lazy summer. Here are a few things that might help you as you win the battle against laziness. . .
1 - Get your run in early in the day. As it begins to get hot - it feels so good to get out of bed before 8 and get a solid run in. Make it a habit that you begin your days with a run. However, if you miss the chance in the morning, night runs can also feel great - just make sure to be safe.
2 - Mix things up. Try to run on different terrains and different routes. Sometimes you might want to meet at a friend's house in order to experience a different run. Going running with a friend (or with your ipod) is another great way to mix things up and make the run more enjoyable. You can also break your run into 2 segments throughout the day. If one long 8 mile run seems completely impossible for the day - try a 5 mile run in the morning and 3 in the evening.
3 - Set GOALS. As you go into each week, it is good to have a plan for how many miles you would like to run each day to get your overall goal for the week. You might need to make adjustments as the week goes on, but it is good to have a plan to begin with. It is also good to set long term goals - like running sub 18:00 or sub 20:00 for a 5k race this fall, making it to cross country camp, running 400 miles for the summer, making the varsity team this fall, getting all-state in cross country, or something else that will help you to be motivated. Having a purpose to your training makes it so much easier to make it a priority. Always look for purpose in your training! And make it YOUR training. Own it. Be proud of your accomplishments and work on your weaknesses.
4 - Get out the door. Even when you are feeling a lack of motivation, it is important to give it a try. This morning I procrastinated my run for as long as I could. I just didn't feel like going. The first 20 minutes of the run were tough, but the farther I went, the better I felt. By the end of the run, I felt like it was one of my best runs of the summer. I can't tell you how many times in my 20 years of running that I have started a run thinking I didn't really feel like it - but finished the run so glad that I got out the door.

Kick-off Camp - I have attached the waiver for the kick-off camp at Cutler Flats. I have also attached the map to the camp. We will be meeting at the school at 1:30 on Tuesday (I had originally said 1:00). The itinerary and other information is posted on the waiver. You will need to bring the waiver and $10 with you to the school when we meet on Tuesday. We will also need quite a few parents who can drive - please let me know if your parents would like to drive and/or camp up there with us as chaperones (they are also welcome to run with us while up there). If there are any parents with a small or big trailer that they could send to the camp, could you let me know. I will also be looking for 2-3 camp stoves if any of you have one we could borrow.
Everyone can come to the camp - even if you have missed our first few practices. It will be a great time to get to know your teammates, and the trail runs we do there are challenging, but nice. I hope you can all make it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Gerald Anderson Memorial 5k - Saturday at 8:00am in Morgan. It is not too late to run the race. I sent an email with an attached flier - or you can email Brad at aamba3@gmail.com if you have any other questions.

Make sure to send in your training log on Saturday or Sunday. I will see you at the Vita Course on Monday morning at 7:00am.
Thanks - and Happy Running -
Coach Talley

Welcome to DXC

2011-06-02T19:26:00.001-07:00

Darts and Parents -
Welcome to Davis Cross Country. It was great to see so many of you at the introduction meeting this week. There were quite a few new faces - which is always good, and we are bringing back a strong TEAM for both the boys and the girls. We have an exciting summer of training in front of us, and I think it will be another incredible XC season this fall.

At the meeting I discussed I discussed the philosophy of DXC (Davis Cross Country). . .
1 - I expect you to work hard. Distance running is all about challenging yourself and learning to get out of your comfort zone. It is not always easy - but it is definitely rewarding. We are going to work hard in order to get into our best shape and in order to prepare for the season. You have to be willing to put forth the effort in order to get the rewards.
2 - I expect you to have fun. We are going to be doing a lot of things together as a TEAM. I want you to always bring a positive attitude and always be looking for ways to make the runs more fun (without sacrificing the benefits of the running). Come to practice with a sense of humor, and really look for opportunities to get to know your TEAMmates and build unity.
3 - I expect you to find a love for running. Even if you don't love it right at the start, I want you to find a love for running. If you stick with it, running will make you feel great. It has so many benefits for the body, the mind, and the soul. Look for things that you love about running, and look for your own personal reasons to run.
4 - I expect you to be patient and consistent with your running. It might not come very easily to most of you, but if you stick with it, you will see improvements and you will begin to feel better and better. Basically - don't give up just because the first few runs or the first few weeks aren't as easy as you thought. If you can stay tough and conquer running (no matter how fast or slow you are), you can conquer just about anything. Getting better in running only comes from getting out and running - consistently.

I also talked about our summer mileage plans. This week is week #1 of 12 for the summer training program. Over these 12 weeks, I am challenging the boys to reach 500 miles and the girls to reach 400 miles. This might be a little high for some of the newer runners, so I explained how you might set a more reasonable goal (300 miles).
You are all required to send me an email at the end of each week letting me know how the training is going. I would like to know what you did each day - not just an overall total miles. I will track your mileage throughout the summer - allowing us to see the improvements in your fitness. If you would like to go to high altitude camp in August, you will need to show me that you can handle the work load. And that you have been willing to work hard to get the opportunity to attend cross country camp.
I will be looking for your emails on Saturday or Sunday letting me know how this first week went. I realize it might have been a busy week - don't let a rough first week discourage you - just get after it better during the 2nd week if it didn't go so well.

Just to let you know, I am extremely excited about this upcoming season. I am excited about the number of 9th and 10th grade girls who showed up to the meeting - we lost 5 of our top 7 from last year - so it will be interesting to see who steps up to fill those spots. Our girls TEAM looks to be young, but talented. We are the returning state champions - and I hope we can work to repeat as state champs. I am also excited about what the boys might be able to accomplish. Last year we finished 11th in the U.S. We have a very strong TEAM coming back - can we make it back to NXN (Nike Cross Nationals)? It is going to take some work (starting now), but it is within our reach. And I am excited to watch as each of you work towards improving yourselves and the TEAM. I can feel that it is going to be a memorable season full of surprises and challenges that I look forward to facing with this TEAM.

Here are some things we have coming up in the next 2 weeks -
Friday (tomorrow) @ 7:00am - at Davis High we will be going for a distance run. It is totally understandable if you can't make it - this is just for those who would like to join us for a morning run. (You'll find in the heat of the summer that it is easiest to get your running done early in the morning while it is still cool).
Monday (June 6th) - Vita Course at 7:00am. This is our first official practice - remember that the vita course is at the top of 200 N. in Kaysville above Highway 89 by the animal shelter. We will be meeting here on Mondays all through the summer.
Wednesday (June 8th) - Davis High at 7:00am - we will probably be doing a run and a game.
Monday (June 13th) - Vita Course @ 7:00am
Tuesday-Wednesday (June 14-15) - Cross Country Kick-off Camp - I will send out an email soon with more information. We will be meeting at the school at 1:00pm and we will get back to the school before noon the next day. Just some camping, 2 runs, and some games to get to know each other better.

I have attached the information that I handed out at the meeting. Please let me know if you have any questions. And please try to recruit your friends or people you know who might be interested in running with us.

Get some good shoes and start your engines. I will see you at the trails on Monday. . .

The Boys Finished 11th at the Nike Nationals!!!!
Great races by all seven boys - Austin, Cromar, Brad, Preston, Joe, Adam, and Matt - all ran like studs in the mud. The course was tough, but they gave great efforts - congrats to each of them for getting here and for working so hard through the race.Also - congrats to Shea for her 60th place finish as an individual - also a very strong performance on a tough course.

Nike Regionals Update

Darts -

It is nice to be home and back in school after a long ride home yesterday (and a nice 3 1/2 hour delay in Beaver). The Arizona trip was a huge success. Not only did we race well, but we had a lot of fun together. Plus you were all very well behaved (thanks). And I hope you came home with some great memories and some motivation to run well in track and in cross country next year. The end of a season is always kind of bitter-sweet.

Overall we had 47 people in the 4 races. Out of those 47, we had 36 PRs. I can't ask for much better as a coach. It seemed like all of you gave great efforts in the races - that all of you ran with confidence and with purpose - and that we ran as a TEAM. I went away completely satisfied with the work we have done and with the results. It is nice for me to look back over the past year and see how far we have come. I end the season very proud of your accomplishments because we worked so hard to get them.

The varsity boys knew that it would take a strong race to finish in the top 2 and get an automatic berth to the Nike Nationals. We were watching American Fork, Albuquerque, and Pine View closely. We were really excited at the end of the race as we saw that we had finished well in front of Albuquerque and Pine View, but Fort Collins snuck up and grabbed the 2nd spot - beating us by only 5 points (American Fork finished 1st). We still have a great chance of getting one of the four at-large invites for the 9 regions. We won't know until Sunday afternoon (after the other regionals are completed). All we can do now is realize we worked our hardest and raced our best and just hope that it was enough to get us the invite. I feel good about it, but it will be hard to really celebrate until we find out on Sunday. All 7 of the boys in the varsity race finished with 5k prs. We were lead by a huge race from Austin Neuner. He finished in 7th place overall (qualifying as an individual for the Nike Nationals). Neuner was only 12 seconds out of 2nd place (and only 5 seconds off of A.F.s number 1). From there we had a :30 spread for 1-5: Joe came through in the big race again, Brad ran a tough race right through, Brayden was the 4th best sophomore in the entire race, Preston was the 5th fastest in the race, and Adam and Matt came through with great races - which hopefully earned them another race as their final races. Adam and Matt ended up as the fastest #6 and #7 runners in the race. We figured that if they had scored 7 runners, we would have won (beating A.F. by 10 points). It may have been the best performance by a Davis TEAM in the history of DXC.

The boys JV team actually won the open race against many other varsity teams. We were lead by a very gutsy race from senior Zach Schofield. Skylar Williams finished 16:41 and was the 2nd best freshman in the entire meet. Phillip Baker ran a huge pr of 16:57 to finish as our 3rd man. Hayden Hansen, Logan Wood, Alex Hedquist, and Jackson Sagers rounded out our top 7 (all finishing in the top 57 of the two open races combined). After Zach, all 6 of our top 7 return next year. We will definitely be going after nationals again. We also had good PRs from Andrew Aposhian, Isaac Clouse, and Nick Mason.

Although the outcome of the girls race was not exactly what we had hoped for, I don't think I could have asked for stronger efforts. I have continuously been amazed and surprised by what our girls' TEAM has accomplished this year. We have overcome illness, injury, and other challenges, and we have improved so much over the past few months. We have to be satisfied with what we have accomplished this year. We were state champions - but even more importantly, we learned to race as a TEAM and work as a TEAM toward something great. You girls have supported each other and encouraged each other, and I am very happy with everything you have done - from your attitudes to your performances. I said this before the race - that you are champions no matter what happens. You went out and gave your very all - and even though we didn't finish like we had hoped, you still showed what you are made of. Great job all season giving your very best and making it through the ups and downs. It will be hard to lose 5 seniors on that varsity group and a bunch more who have lead our JV runners as well. We have a great young group of runners, but our seniors this year will be almost irreplaceable. I hope you seniors know how amazing you are - I hope you know how much we all love you and will miss you.

Our JV girls showed a lot of guts as they went out aggressive and held on for many PRs. There were some good surprises in this race, and it will be nice to have 7 of our top 8 coming back and pushing for varsity spots next year. Great job racing with positive attitudes. I though it was awesome that every one of our seniors in this race ended their careers with a PR for 5k.

What's Next?
We are now taking a much deserved break for the body and the mind. I want you to stay away from running this week (through Thanksgiving weekend). Next week you can start up with a few short runs (3-6 miles) anywhere from 1-4 times during the week (I am going to leave that to your individual discretion based on how much rest you think you need). You are welcome to pick some days, and then meet in my room after school to go out for a run in small or big groups. Try to stay active and to not be lazy. Try not to think too much about running - instead, give yourself a rest and come back refreshed, excited, and ready to work for some prs in indoor and outdoor track. We will try to build up our distance in December and January - adding in more and more speed work as we go. You might come back from these 2 weeks a little out of shape, that is to be expected, but we will build you back up stronger and faster than ever before.

The indoor track meeting will be on Tuesday, December 7th at 2:45 in the auditorium or the cafeteria. We will go for a distance run on Monday, December 6th after school (meet in my room).

Shea and the boys (if they all make it) will be racing in Portland on December 4th. If you would like more details about that race, email me with questions. I will be sending out a separate email with information for those athletes and their parents in the next day or so.

Thanks for everything - it has been a great season - one that I will always fondly remember. Each one of you contributed in some way to the greatness of the TEAM - thank you for being a part of DXC. See you around.

Cross Country Update - State Championships

2010-10-21T20:14:00.001-07:00

Darts -
At the end of every cross country season I look back and think about what made the season memorable. We have had some very special years as a Davis XC program. I think I will remember this season as a season of determination and TEAM work. We have worked extremely hard for the things we were able to accomplish. We set some pretty high TEAM goals throughout the summer and we have really stayed focused as a TEAM as we have worked for our goals. I can't say enough about how proud I am of our TEAM and the season we have had. I will also remember this season for all of the fun times we have had - summer runs, high altitude camp, the Bob Firman trip, the incredibly hard but 'fun' workouts, the parties in my classroom everyday, the games we've played, and races we've run. I have enjoyed the ups and the downs of this season - our victories and our defeats. I have enjoyed watching each of you face your individual challenges. We have seen so many improvements and accomplishments this season. I have enjoyed your company on runs, on bus rides, and in my classroom (even when I am not always the easiest person to ask questions to). We are blessed to have each other as a TEAM. We have made some great friendships - and I think we have learned a lot from one another. This is what DXC is all about - hard work, being a TEAM, having fun, and making ourselves as fast as possible. It has been a pleasure to be a part of. This is a season I will always remember with joy and satisfaction. Thank you all so much for your sacrifices, for your commitment, for your patience, for your friendship, for your trust, and for your passion for running.

State Championships - What an awesome meet to be a part of. From the racing to the cheering, we were a TEAM. It was so cool to see the sea of brown and gold running across the park to cheer on their teammates. We executed the cheering plan with perfection - and we ran with heart and determination.
All of the hard work paid off for the girls - they ran a tough race and ended up as STATE CHAMPIONS! I was so impressed with how hard the girls fought for it. Shea made a strong move just after the mile and hung on to finish as the individual champion (only the 3rd ever from Davis). She has really learned to push herself and to go after her best. Meghan ran a patient, experienced race moving up from around 12th place to finish 3rd - nearly pulling off the 1-2 finish. It is Meg's 3rd time in the top 3, and her 3rd time with a TEAM title. What an incredible cross country career she is finishing up. She has carried our TEAM and has been so tough and consistent for the past 4 years. Our pack of 5 worked very well together through the first half of the race. I liked how Madi made sure we stayed close enough, then Tessa pushed us hard through the middle, then Anni finished with a monster last 400 meters. They definitely got the job done. I have said from the start that our success will depend on our 3-7 runners. They really came through for us at the state meet. Anni had to dig deep, but she pulled out one of her tremendous finishes for 17th place. Tessa ran with a lot of courage, moving her way up through the pack in the middle to finish 20th. Joanna stayed strong through the race to really help us out as the #5 and to finish in 26th. We are so happy that she luckily moved into the Davis boundaries - she brings so much positive energy to the TEAM. Madi showed once again that she is truly a cross country runner (and not just a sprinter) with a great race to finish 32nd and beat every other team's #5. And Abby ran extremely tough even though she picked up a cold this week. In the middle of the race we were encouraging her to hang in there and finish in front of Skyline's number 5 to help us out. Abby gave her very all straight to the finish and actually pulled away from the Skyline girl. I was so proud of all the girls - not just for their races, but for what they each bring to our TEAM every day. They are all so strong and are all great examples and leaders. I thought it was extra special that we won the state title with 5 seniors running.
The boys had a goal to be the best Davis TEAM in history. To do so, we had to beat the 2002 team who ran 81:31 for the top 5. That team won the state title by 40 points. We ran a TEAM record team time of 81:07 - the 7th best time in the history of the course (since 1998). Coming in 2nd place to an American Fork team that is most likely the best team in the state's history is nothing to be disappointed in. I like how we were focused on doing our best - and that we went out and gave our all. I know that we can run even better - and that we are going to run even better in 4 weeks, but I am extremely proud of how far we have come over the past 5 months. We have great seniors leading us on both varsity and JV, and we have a solid group of young runners who are learning how to push themselves and run as a TEAM. The past few years have set us up, the current TEAM is raising the bar, and the future continues to look bright. Austin Neuner put himself right in the lead pack, and had to really kick to go from 11th to 9th in the final 50 meters and get an all-state spot (to go along with his academic all-state). Neuner's time was the 4th best ever from Davis. Brayden Cromar had another monster finish to move all the way up to 12th and finish as the top sophomore in 5A and the top sophomore in our team's history. Joe White and Brad Nye moved well together in the middle of the race. From the half way point to the finish, they were not passed by a single runner. They were determined to redeem themselves from last year - and I think they accomplished it. Joe finished strong in 15th and Brad was not far behind in 18th. Preston Johnson may not have been satisfied with his 27th place finish, but his time was the 2nd fastest sophomore time from 5A, and Preston fought hard like he has all summer and all season. Preston has taught us all what hard work can do. He is the toughest, hardest working kid I have ever coached. And I think the only kid who ran at the state meet and then came home and did a frustration workout on the track - already getting ready for the next race. Adam Mathias ran an incredible last mile to move up and finish 40th in the race. He has improved so much from the scrawny little sophomore from 2 years ago - he is now the scrawny, fast, senior I knew he could become. And Skylar Williams ran a gutsy race to finish 42nd - he was the fastest freshman from any division and the fastest freshman to ever run at state for Davis. All 7 of our boys finished in the top 10 finishers from our region. I can't tell you how much I love these boys and what they stand for. They are champions in every sense of the word.

The girls finish the season as STATE CHAMPS, Region Champs, and District Champs. The JV Girls went undefeated. The boys finish as STATE RUNNER-UP, Region Champs, and District Champs and have proven themselves as the best ever Davis TEAM with team time records at all 3 championships. The JV boys also finish the season undefeated. Based on our region results, I think the JV boys would have had a shot at top 5 in the state.

What's Next?
Tomorrow (Friday) - TEAM Pictures and uniform turn in (even though it is probably too late once you finally read this).
Saturday - Get in an easy long run on your own (anywhere from 5 to 10 miles) - enjoy it - October is the BEST time of year for morning runs.
Monday - NXN Training begins - be in my classroom after school at 2:45. If you want to go to Nike with us, you have to be 100% committed over the next 4 weeks. If we are going to have a shot at qualifying, and if you want to have a shot at a PR on a fast course, we are going to have to really work for it for 3 weeks - and then be perfectly ready the week of the race. I really believe both TEAMs have a shot at Portland (Nationals) - but it is going to take perfect preparation and a continued commitment to being our best. We will also have to continue to come together as a TEAM. I should have the workout schedule ready to give you by tomorrow (Friday). Let's really get after it!
Thursday, November 4 - TEAM BANQUET - place and time TBA.
Thursday - Sunday, November 18-21 - NIKE Regionals - Mesa, AZ.

Thanks again for a tremendous season - I am honored to be your coach.

Cross Country Update - Region Champs!!

2010-10-15T17:50:00.000-07:00

Darts -
The region cross country meet showed what DXC is all about: racing hard and racing as a TEAM. I was so pleased with the desire and the determination that you all brought to the race. It was truly one of the best meets in the history of Davis Cross Country. The TEAM wins gave us 15 straight region titles for the boys and 5 straight for the girls. We ran the fastest TEAM times (top 5 times combined) in the history of the course, and we had a ton of PRs. Most importantly, the efforts were tough, and the TEAM had a lot of fun racing and supporting their TEAMmates.
The girls were led by Shea Martinez who set a course record of 18:06 on her way to being region champion. We had 5 more girls finish in the top 10 (All-Region) including Meghan, Anni, Tessa, Abby, and Madi - all 5 are seniors and have worked hard to get to where they are today. I was so proud of our senior class this season and all of the leadership they provided. Our TEAM truly had chemistry this year which has helped us to become our very best. I am really going to miss this group. Joanna finished in 11th - just off of all-region, and Nalany was 13th (running as one of our non-scoring athletes). The varsity girls ran a combined TEAM time of 1:34.07 (averaging 18:49). It broke the old record of 1:34.24 by the 2002 Davis team. In the JV race, we did something that the Davis girls have never done - we swept the top 10. Last year we finished 1-9 and almost got it. The boys have done it a few times, but the girls had never swept. Not only did we get the top 10 in the girls JV race, we finished 1-17. It was a true show of dominance, and it is all because of hard work and dedication to getting better through the summer and through the season. Sophomore Emily Hammond led the way with 20:08 and she was followed closely by Janice and Sierra. Our seniors fought hard for us in the JV race as well - led by Jessica, Danna, Tracey, and Julia. They have all been such good examples of hard work and love for running. We are lucky to have some good young runners as well, with 12 of the the top 17 in the JV race coming back.
It was nice to have Austin Neuner running healthy and strong again in the boys race. He led the way with a region title in a time of 15:33. It is the fastest that anyone has run on the course since 2006, and it is the 6th fastest time ever run on the course. Austin was followed closely by fellow senior Joe White who finished 2nd in 15:41 (All-time #9). Joe made a strong move over the 2nd half of the race to move up into the #2 spot. Brayden Cromar (sophomore) rounded out our 1-2-3 sweep with a strong finish as well. He took off with about 600m to go, and moved from 5th to 3rd. His time of 15:47 is #12 time ever run on the course and is the sophomore record for the course (old record 16:06 by Seth Gutzwiller). Preston Johnson, also a sophomore, ran 15:57 to finish 6th, and Brad Nye was 16:01 to finish 7th. The top 5 times combined to 1:18.59 to give us the TEAM time record (average of 15:48). It is a record we will be going after again next year. Freshman Skylar Williams had a monster kick to finish all-region with a time of 16:06 - it shattered the freshman record (also by Gutz at 16:23). Our varsity group was rounded out by Adam Mathias, Matt Munns, Matt Swanson, and Logan Wood. This race was the first time this season that our seniors beat our underclassmen in a dual meet score (27-29). The seniors definitely deserve it. They are a group that has taken our TEAM to the next level. Through their hard work, competitiveness, and determination, these boys have become a tough, fast TEAM. The JV boys finished the season undefeated with a 1-8 sweep and perfect score of 15. Zach Schofield was the individual champion, followed by 3 sophomores: Jackson, Alex, and Hayden. Austin Allred had a great race for 5th, and Spencer Jones, Phillip Baker, and Taylor Goldsberry rounded out our sweep. Our seniors have been outstanding, and we return 11 of our top 18 runners.
Coming up we have our biggest test of the season at the state meet. The boys (who are currently ranked #7 in the U.S.) are going up against an incredibly strong American Fork team (ranked #2 in the U.S.). We are going to be focusing on ourselves - running our strongest race. The girls (currently ranked #19 in the U.S.) are going to have their hands full with some tough young teams from Skyline and Alta. We need to continue to prepare ourselves and have our strongest TEAM races. We will need all of the TEAM, parent, and alumni support that we can get at the state meet on Wednesday. Not only will we be racing against teams in our own division, but we will also be aiming to do our best in the combined division results (so times become very important).

Coming Up:
Varsity Dinner - for state athletes and alternates - at Abby's house on Monday at 6:00pm
State Cross Country Championships - Wednesday (Oct 20th) at Sugarhouse Park. Girls race at 2:30 pm, and the boys race at 4:00 pm (this is a change from last year - the schedule will go 3A-4A-5A girls then 3A-4A-5A boys)
TEAM Pictures - Friday after school. Bring your uniforms and your DXC shirts (long sleeve and short sleeve).

Athletes of the Week:
Austin Neuner - back with a victory
Brayden Cromar - huge finish
Jackson Sagers - breakthrough race
Abby Frodsham - great leader, great fighter
Janice Hartvigsen - strong race for 2nd in JV
Brooke Gutzwiller - worked hard, stayed positive through all challenges

Cross Country Update - 10/10/10

2010-10-10T18:17:00.000-07:00

Darts -
First of all, excellent job at the Syracuse meet on Wednesday. It was raining and a little bit cold, but you were all very positive and I thought we ran very well as a TEAM. You can see the full results on the blog (www.davisxc.blogspot.com).
We are running very well right now - perfect timing as we head into the final 2 races of the season. I am excited to see what we can accomplish, and I hope that you are all excited and confident that you are going to have your best races and give your best efforts to finish up the season. I hope you all know that we are in this position because of the hard work that you have put in and because of the sacrifices you have made for each other. Thanks for being such a great TEAM. Thanks for trusting in me and your other coaches. Thanks for supporting each other. Over the final 10 days of the season, let's continue to come together and continue to bring the intensity and excitement and passion that makes our TEAM what it is.
In the region race on Wednesday, there are a few records I would like to go after. To make the all-time region list, girls need to run under 22:00, and boys need to be under 17:55. The most boys we have ever had under 17:55 was last year (23). The previous record was 16. I think we can get more than 23 under 17:55 - but we are going to have to see some killer performances by our middle JV guys. I also want to see our varsity go for the all-time TEAM time record on the course. It was set by the 2002 Davis team. We will need to really push the 2nd half of the race to beat it. The most girls we have ever had under 22:00 was last year with 16. It actually tied a previous record. I really think we are in a position to have more girls under 22:00 than ever. The boys will be going for their 15th straight region title. The girls are shooting for #5 in a row.

Coming Up:
Tuesday, Oct. 12th - Mandatory Region Meeting in my classroom at the normal time.
Tuesday, Oct. 12th - TEAM dinners. The boys will be at the Cottrell's house, the girls are going to be at the Brown's house. I will give directions to the houses tomorrow and Tuesday in the meeting. Both dinners will be at 5:30pm. We will be asking you to sign up to bring breadsticks, salad, or some type of dessert. We will also need a few moms (or dads) to go to the houses and help us prepare the spaghetti and sauce.
Wednesday, Oct. 13th - Region Championships at Layton Park. Girls JV - 3:00pm, Boys JV - 3:30pm, Girls Varsity - 4:00pm, Boys Varsity - 4:30pm. If there are any parents who can bring any type of treats - let me know. We are looking for fruit, granola bars, popsicles, fruit snacks, cookies, or anything else (kind of a party after the race). The awards will be at 5:15 - we ask that all of you stay for the awards and the TEAM picture.
Thursday - Saturday (Oct 14, 15, 16) - there is no school. We will still be working out in the morning. The workouts will be primarily for those running at state, but all will be invited to come to the practices. Saturday's workout will be varsity only. Thursday and Friday will be for everyone to attend.
Wednesday, Oct 20th - State Cross Country Championships - more information will be sent out after the region meet.

Athletes of the Week:
Spencer Jones
Devin Vance
Tessa Brown
Ashley Tyndall

Good job to our Alumni this past weekend as well. Logan Petty finished as UVU's 4th man (6th place overall) at the SUU Invite with a time of 25:45 for 8k. Jessie Wilding was 10th overall and UVU's 6th finisher with a 5k time of 19:11. Emily Hansen finished 24th with 20:46. Candace Eddy was 3rd overall at the BYU Homecoming 5k with a time of 18:12. And Jeff Taylor finished 14th at the Idaho State Invite with a 6k time of 20:11 on a tough course (I know because I have run it 3 times). It is awesome to have some of our alumni competing well at the college level. We will get to see many of them race at the end of their season when they compete in the Mountain Regional at Rose Park in Salt Lake.

Cross Country Update - Bob Firman Invitational

2010-09-26T21:46:00.001-07:00

Darts -
I wish I could capture in words how impressive the Bob Firman trip was this year. We asked you to run with heart and passion and to race rather than just run, and that is exactly what you did. We ran as a TEAM, and it was fun to be a part of. We had athletes entered in 4 different varsity races and we came home with a trophy for each race. It was truly a demonstration of TEAM unity and TEAM depth. Not only did we race well, but you were also very well-behaved on the trip. I appreciate you following the rules. It was nice to see you have so much fun, but also great to see you take the racing seriously like we asked you to. Congratulations as a TEAM on your outstanding performances and on a very successful trip.
The Elite Boys race was one of the most exciting I have seen. We didn't get out too well, but stayed patient and positive and really worked our way up as a group. Joe White led the way with a killer 2nd half of the race. He really was on fire - passing people left and right to finish in 16:10 - the 2nd fastest time ever on the course by a Dart. The other 4 of the top 5 also moved their way up over the 2nd half of the race to all finish in the top 21. Neuner was truly a stud as he came through for us even after a week of being sick (he ran a sick race). Those 5 boys ran a combined time of 1:21.41 which is our team record by 1:20 and is the 5th fastest team time ever run by any team at Bob Firman.
The Varsity Division 1 Boys (our JV squad) was also a really fun race to watch. I thought we ran our plan well, and didn't let the fact that we were running with varsity teams intimidate us. In fact - we won the team competition. Had our top 5 boys been in the Elite race we would have finished 8th - beating 15 teams. We were led by a great race by Matt Swanson. He ran 16:35 to finish 6th and would have been 27th in the elite race. Skylar Williams was our #2 - and he was also the 2nd fastest freshman from any of the races. I also thought we had particularly strong races from Zach Schofield, Colton Cottrell, Ryan Lee, Devin Vance, and Isaac Clouse.
In the Elite girls race we were going up against two of the nation's top 25 teams (Bishop Kelly #19 and Ogden #23). We recently snuck into the rankings as well at #50. We ran a solid race and were as close to Ogden as we have been all year. Shea ran the 2nd fastest time by a Dart on the course at 18:21 - good enough to finish 3rd. Meghan also finished top 20 - earning her 3rd Bob Firman backpack in a row. We had some really strong performances by Anni Andersen, Joanna Boyd, and Madi Holt. One thing that I learned from both Elite races is that it is great to have teammates to step up for other teammates when they are struggling or unable to race.
The Varsity Division 1 Girls (Our JV) did an incredible job racing as a TEAM. I loved the packs of runners that we had throughout the race. Especially our #2-6 girls - they really pushed each other and worked to stay close. We had Nalany run an outstanding race to finish 13th (and win a backpack) with a time of 20:15, and then our 2-6 finished within 13 seconds of each other and earned us our 4th trophy of the day. The only team to beat us was a very strong team from Mountain Crest. Great focus and great energy by our girls in that race. I love how you all run for each other and you are motivated by each other. Keep it up!

I just want to thank each of you for the sacrifices that you make for the TEAM - and for being willing to do what I ask you to do. I know that you are sometimes asked to give up some things of the "normal" high school lifestyle, but it does make our TEAM stronger, and I hope you see that it is good for you as individuals as well. Anyway, I really appreciate your attitudes and your sacrifices. I also really appreciate the parents and the other coaches who gave time and energy to make this trip successful.

Athletes of the Week:
Madi Holt - very strong as our #5 - ran a patient race.
Sierra Haslam - improving each week - sub 21:00!!
Danna Stuart - determined and always hard working - great race at Firman.
Joe White - Killer race - was an absolut animal.
Skylar Williams - proving he is one of our best freshman ever.
Colton Cottrell - had a great race - but was also extremely helpful on the trip. Thanks.

Coming Up:
The next 12 days - These 12 days are extremely important for the rest of our season and for our post season goals. These next 12 days I ask that each of you come to practice with great attitudes and come to practice prepared for some good hard running.
Wednesday, Sept 29 - Region Meet at Barnes Park - Girls will start at 3:45, Boys will start at 4:15 - there will only be 2 races.
Wednesday, Oct 6 - Region Meet at Syracuse High School
Wednesday, Oct 13 - Region Championships at Layton Park

DXC Update #4 - Districts and Provo

2010-09-19T15:28:00.001-07:00

Darts -
Nice job on a very busy week. We have put in a lot of hard work and we have raced pretty hard through the first half of the season. I don't have time this weekend to type up all of the Davis results, but you can look at the District Championship Results from Wednesday at http://davisxc.blogspot.com/2010/09/district-championship-results.html. I will email the Provo Bulldog 5k results out as soon as I get them from the meet (they still have not sent them out).
The District Championships went extremely well. We had a record 15 girls make the all-time list (sub 19:20), and also a record 14 boys make the list (sub 15:31). We also set the all-time team time record (top 5 times) for the boys - breaking the 1991 Veiwmont team record. It was an impressive outing as we perfect scored the JV Boys, perfect scored the JV girls, and had all 7 varsity girls in the top 10, and 6 of 7 varsity boys in the top 10.
The Provo Bulldog Invitational was on a tough course that ended up measuring closer to 3.2 miles. It was our first time on the course, and it was fun to try a different race. The girls looked very strong this weekend as they perfect scored the JV race in a field of nearly 30 teams. We also came away with a victory in the varsity girls, although I don't yet know the scores. Shea was the overall winner for the 5th time this season - establishing herself as one of the top in the state in any division. Meghan ran a tough race to come back from a rough start and finish 3rd (2nd fastest from 5A). Abby and Anni worked well together to move up through the pack and take 12th and 13th. Joanna stepped up big for us and finished 20th rounding out our top 5.
The boys JV pulled off a 1 point victory over the American Fork JV squad (#1 team in the country). We were led by strong races from Adam Mathias and Skylar Williams. On the varsity side, we ran well as a pack, but looked a little tired - which is to be expected after the hard work we have been putting in and the strong race on Wednesday. We are still on track to hit our TEAM goals - but we have to keep believing and we have to stay focused. Our top 5 all finished in the top 20 (Neuner, Cromar, Johnson, White, Nye) and Swanson had a great race as our 6th man, but we ended up finishing 3rd to American Fork and Pineview (the 2 other nationally ranked teams).
It is important that we regroup on all sides and really prepare for the Bob Firman Invitational. The girls and the boys will both be racing for top 3 finishes in both the elite and the large school varsity races. Really take care of yourselves this week. By that I mean eat well (and eat plenty), hydrate (looks to be about 75-80 degrees), and get your sleep. We will have 1 hard workout this week on Tuesday on the track.

Athletes of the Week:
Shea Martinez - 2 solid victories
Joanna Boyd - ran tough in both races - especially as our #5 at Provo
Julia Anderson - always pushing her hardest
Matt Swanson - stepped up big-time at the Provo race
Adam Mathias - ran smart and strong at Provo
Curtis Knight - continues to improve and I like his attitude

Coming Up:

Bob Firman - We are leaving early on Friday morning. I have sent home itineraries (which I will email out tomorrow from my school computer). The $100 is due in the office by Tuesday (bring me the receipt). Let me know if you or your parents have any questions. We will be working out all details this upcoming week.

Remaining Race Schedule:
Sept 25 - Bob Firman, Boise, ID
Sept 29 - region meet @ Davis (Barnes Park)
Oct 6 - region meet @ Syracuse
Oct 13 - Region Championships @ Layton Park
Oct 20 - State Championships @ Sugarhouse Park

Congrats to Caitlin Miller and Cade Cloward for finishing their first marathon this past weekend at Top of Utah.

Thanks for all you have done so far. Keep up the good work. The season will be over before you know it.
Coach Talley

Darts -
First of all - outstanding job at the Murray Invite. As a TEAM we came away with 5 victories and 1 solid 2nd place finish in the 6 races (there were something like 48 total teams in attendance). I heard all kinds of comments about how incredible we are and how "sick" our TEAM is. I also heard a few comments about how people hate us - not because we are mean or arrogant - just because we are so good. I guess it is a compliment in a way. I think as we continue to have success, we need to continue to stay humble, recognize strengths in other teams as well, and never come across as arrogant. Always be careful about what you say about other teams - try not to put down any other teams or runners.
We also had a ton of great individual performances at the meet - Emily Hammond and Jessica Paget finished 1-2 in the rookie girls race we also had Liz Ashby (5th) and Ashley Tyndall (6th) in the top 10. Taylor Goldsberry, Phillip Baker, and Ryan Lee led the way in the boys rookie race, all placing in the top 10. Joanna Boyd and Nalany Resek raced hard and came away with a 5-6 finish to lead us to victory in the JV girls race. We did outstanding in the JV boys race once again - and came away with only 18 points - 2nd place was 209 points behind. Munns pulled away early and held on for the victory, Hedquist came up strong to finish 2nd. The varsity girls were led by a smart race from Shea to pull off the individual win, and a tough race from Meghan to finish 6th. If we take just 5A runners in the race, our top 5 went 1-2-5-10-15. Anna Ward stepped up strong in her opportunity to run varsity. And the varsity boys were led to victory by a diving 2nd place finish by Austin Neuner. Brad Nye ran strong as well to finish 7th. And Logan Wood definitely came through for us as our 5th man (after Brayden was punched in the face and went down early). I thought we ran with a lot of passion. We had some tough performances - let's continue to work hard and improve ourselves physically and mentally. Davis Results are listed below, full results can be found on www.runnercard.com

Wasatch 100 - I had the opportunity to pace Jason Thomas through the final 25 miles of his 100 mile race this past weekend. Jason was the 3rd youngest runner to ever complete the race in its 31 year history, and the youngest participant in this year's race by 7 years. He finished with a time of 34:57.16. That's right - Jason was out running up and down mountains for just under 35 hours. It is one of the most challenging things anyone can go through - and Jason completed it like a pro. It was an extremely difficult ordeal, but Jason was positive, patient, and definitely determined to show he could do it. I feel lucky and honored to have paced him. I learned a lot from Jason through the experience. He showed so much persistence and toughness. I just hope I can take what I learned from him and apply it to my next 100 mile challenge. I also hope I can eat like Jason did - he was pounding down everything: eggs, pancakes, sausage, m&ms, cliff bars, potatoes, hashbrowns, soup, fruit, chex mix, power gels, gatorade, coke, water, and everything else I handed him. I think he took in more calories in that last 25 miles than I did in the 178 miles of Wasatch I have completed. What a huge stud, and what a great young man. Congrats Jason!

Athletes of the Week:
Isaac Clouse - has shown incredible improvement over the past year
Alex Hedquist - fought hard throughout the race; always working hard
Logan Wood - stepped up big as the 5th man
Emily Hammond - awesome victory in the rookie girls race - showing a lot of promise
Tracey Munson - has raced well the past 2 weeks; also working hard and showing improvement
Anni Andersen - hard work is paying off; fought well over the 2nd half of Murray Invite

Cross Country Update #2

2010-09-05T16:42:00.000-07:00

Darts -
It was a very busy week. We are starting to get into the heart of the season with some of my favorite races coming up (Murray and Bob Firman). I am pumped about what I am seeing from the TEAM. The attitudes are good, and the energy is high. Through the middle part of the season, we need to focus on the small things we can do to get faster and stronger.

Pre-Region: We started on Wednesday with the Pre-Region Meet. We looked strong in all 3 races. Our girls ran the fastest for Davis history for the top 5 runners. We were led by Shea with a course record time of 11:38. We also had many girls improve by quite a bit over their Grass Relays 2 mile from last week. The boys were also led by a course record performance. Austin Neuner tied the course record with a 10:04. The best parts of the Pre-Region Meet was our depth and the fact that we are running as a TEAM. I have the Davis results listed below.

Parent's Night: Thanks to those who were able to attend. I will email out the information I handed out (it is saved on my school computer).

TEAM Dinner: Thanks to the Frodshams for allowing us to use the backyard for the party. And thanks to all the parents who were able to help or send food.

BYU Invite: We cleaned up at the BYU Invite on Saturday. They give plaques for the top 2 teams in each race, our goal was to bring home 6 plaques in 6 races. We accomplished that goal with four 1st places and two 2nd place finishes. It was awesome hearing so much about Davis and how we were dominating the races. I thought the race of the day had to be the JV Boys finish 1-6 and getting a perfect score. That doesn't happen too often. Not only did we place in all the team competitions, but we brought home 55 T-shirts for individuals finishing in the top 30 for their race. That has to be some type of record. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the times - because the course was running slow. I heard some rumors that it was measured at 3.2 - but it might also have been the conditions of the grass. Once we get to a faster course like Murray or Bob Firman, we are going to see some big 5k PRs. The results are listed under the pre-region results, but full results can be found at www.runnercard.com

Athletes of the Week:
Austin Allred - 2 solid races, has shown a lot of improvement
Phillip Baker - ran a killer "breakthrough" race at BYU - very gutsy
Zach Schofield - JV champ at Pre-region; part of our perfect score at BYU
Nalany Resek - JV champ at BYU - running very tough
Sarah Parker - Great race at BYU - moved up through the entire race
Jessica Paget - Has improved a lot in the past few months - 2 great races this week

Bob Firman Invite: I posted the list on the board of who is invited on the trip. Please check the list and let me know if you can or cannot go on the trip. The alternates will be invited as we have some spots come open. I also sent home a paper with information for your parents - I hope you have shown them by now. Could parents who are driving up to watch please email me and let me know if you are going to be there. Thanks.

Coming Up:
Monday - Meet at the Vita Course at 7:30am for a 6-10 mile run, or run a hilly 6-10 miles on your own. We would like to get 2 longer runs this week - Monday and Saturday. They are not to be "hard" runs - just longer ones.
Friday - Murray Invitational - We will be getting out of school a little early - I will get you more information this week.

Thanks for a great week. Enjoy your Labor Day tomorrow - make sure to get a run in. Our "hard" day this week will be on Tuesday.
- Coach Talley

XC Update #1 - Grass Relays

2010-08-29T13:09:00.000-07:00

Darts -
The season is officially under way. It was great to have so many of you at the Grass Relays on Saturday (we had 79 race - the most ever). Watching the races yesterday, I really liked the efforts that I saw. I thought we ran well together in the JV races, and I thought we had some solid performances from the varsity runners as well. I think most importantly, we started to learn how to race. It is sometimes difficult to shift back into racing mode, and I think race #2 at Layton Park on Wednesday, when we get to race in packs, will show us even better results. After looking at the results from yesterday, I was pleased with many of your times and I also saw that a few of you are probably disappointed in what your outcome was. I will repeat what I said to many of you yesterday - it is only one race. We have many more to come - some will be good, some may not be so good. The important thing is to stay positive and patient, learn from your mistakes, and keep moving forward. I thought yesterday some of you started out too fast, some of you started out too scared, some of you settled too much on the 2nd mile, and some of you weren't as prepared as could be. There were some good races, but I didn't think anyone ran a "perfect" race. That is to be expected. It was the first race of the year, and I hope that you can learn from yesterday, but I don't want anyone putting too much weight on just one race. For this next race, try not to be as nervous. Try having fun and racing a little more relaxed. The teams we will see on Wednesday are the teams in our region.
Don't get me wrong - Saturday was definitely not bad - we actually were incredibly impressive, I just think we can do even better as we move along. On the girls side, our varsity group won the meet by over 2:00. We beat some teams that I thought would be a lot closer to us. And those teams are going to be coming after us throughout the season. Anni got a quote in the paper saying how we like to run in packs - I really liked that quote and I think we are even stronger when we get to run together. Shea was the overall fastest girl of the day running 12:23 - it was pretty cool for her to win her first ever cross country race as a Dart. Meghan was 6th overall and the 3rd fastest from 5A. The JV girls would have been first place if the 2 JV races were combined - we would have just edged out Park City for the top JV team of the day. If our 2nd 5 girls (Anna, Joanna, Becca, Janice, and Nalany) had run their times in the varsity race, they would have finished 10th out of 35 teams. We are showing some great depth. I also liked what I saw from many of our new runners.
For the boys, we ran our fastest time ever for the relay, and yet I know they were not completely satisfied. We were happy with 2nd place, of course, but we know we can run faster times. The hard work will pay off - all I can tell you is to keep believing. Our time of 54:33 breaks our record from 2006 (54:38). Perhaps even more impressive is that our top 5 boys in the JV race (Matt, Logan, Adam, Matt, and Skylar) would have finished 3rd to AF and our own varsity if they were in the varsity race. Their combined time of 55:16 would have beat 3rd place (Bingham) by :40. And our 3rd set of 5 runners (Spencer, Alex, Jackson, Zach, and James) would have been 5th place in the varsity race with 56:35 (4th best from 5A). I cannot believe the depth we have. Our boys who ran in the 11:30 range (Taylor 11:27, Colton 11:35, Austin 11:36, Ryan 11:39) would have been the number 1 or 2 runner on 28 teams, and would have been varsity on all but 2 teams. There are teams who would kill to have our #15-21 boys as their varsity team. It is sometimes difficult to be part of a team with great depth because you might not get the opportunities to run varsity that you would on another team - but I hope you know that you are still a big part of our TEAM and the successes that we have as a Varsity and JV. Combining both JV races together, we had the #1 JV team in the meet - another goal of ours this year is to go undefeated as a JV team.
Overall I am very excited about yesterday - mostly because we performed well, but we have even more in us. Keep up the good work. Stay focused and energetic.

Coming Up:

Monday - We are doing mile repeats at the Lagoon Trails - plan on feeling good and running fast. Prepare by hydrating and eating a good lunch. 9th graders from Farmington should change at the Junior High and meet us at the trailhead.

Wednesday - Pre-Region Meet at Layton Park. The bus will leave Davis at 2:00pm. You will be excused from your 8th period at 1:45. If any parents want to bring popsicles for after the race, let me know - I am sure the kids will eat them. The schedule will be as follows:
Boys JV - 3:30
All Girls - 3:50
Boys Varsity - 4:10 - We are running our top 12 from grass relays: Austin, Preston, Matt M., Brad, Joe, Brayden, Logan, Adam M., Matt S., Skylar, Spencer, Alex. We will be scoring it like a dual meet - Seniors vs. the others (Grass Relays would have been Seniors - 26, Underclassmen - 29). We will do the same thing in the Boys JV race (Grass Relays would have been Seniors - 28, Underclassmen - 27).

Parent's Night - Thursday Night at 6:30pm in the cafeteria at Davis High School - plan on just under 1 hour. We will have a guest speaker and I will be sharing some information about cross country with your parents. We would like everyone and their parents to come.

Friday Night - We are going to do a TEAM pasta dinner at the Frodsham's at 6:00pm. I will get you more information this week. If there are any parents who would like to help with the dinner - could you please contact me. We will need people to bring salads and breadsticks. We will plan on cooking the pasta and the sauce at the Frodsham's house.

BYU (Saturday, Sept 4th) - We will meet at the school at 6:30am - it will give us plenty of time to not be rushed for the first set of races. There are collegiate races at the meet as well. We will probably not be home until 2:30 pm. We will have a TEAM vote to see if we want to stop somewhere for lunch on the way home, in which case you will need to bring a little money. We will decide who to run in the varsity race after Wednesday.
9:00am - Freshman/Sophomore Boys
9:30am - Freshman/Sophomore Girls
9:55 - JV Boys
10:15 - JV Girls
11:10 - Varsity Girls
12:05 Varsity Boys

Athletes of the Week - Matt Munns, Taylor Goldsberry, Whitney Williams, Anna Ward

Bob Firman - Most of the surveys got turned in, and I will know in the next few days if we are approved for the trip. I will be making invitations for Bob Firman sometime in the next week or so. I need to know ASAP if you cannot go. The trip is on September 24-25. It will cost $100. We will be taking a charter bus, staying one night in Boise, and coming back on Saturday night around 7:00 pm. The main conflict is the Homecoming Dance. We will talk in the meeting on Monday about what your options are. If you choose not to go, I really need to know so that I can invite people who do want to go.

Thanks for your hard work and for making DXC what it is . . .
Coach Talley
