Darts -
We had another solid week of training and a great TEAM performance at the Murray Invitational. Our boys got another sweep, winning all three race divisions, and the girls finished in the top 3 in all divisions. The thing I was the most proud of was the way we ran as a TEAM. I think we are getting better and better and pushing our teammates and racing together against our opponents (rather than each other). I could feel our TEAM energy - and I can see us getting more unified. Let's continue to work hard to support, encourage, push, inspire, and uplift our teammates.
Murray started with the varsity races. Our boys varsity narrowly pulled out the victory over a very strong Ogden team (60-69). Camren and Colton gave us a solid 1-2 punch at 5th and 11th against a talented group. Colter and Logan did a great job working together through the tough parts of the race and moved up to finish 13-14. Matt and Frasier continue to impress as our 5-6, and finished strong giving us 6 guys in the top 20 of the race. Bryce and Danny also moved up well through the pack to finish together at 35-36.
Our dynamic duo of Courtney and Aubrey led the way in the girls varsity with a 1-2 finish - despite getting lost multiple times on the confusing twists and turns of the course. They did a great job pulling away together and putting the hurt on the rest of the field. Sam Hedquist also finished in the top 10 with a very strong final mile. Ally Geisler finished with a monster kick for 14th. Our youngster, Abi Waddoups, moved up well and finished as our #6 in 32nd - she was the 4th fastest freshman in all the races combined.
The JV Boys dominated both of their races. In the Open Race, we pulled off a perfect score (top 5 finishers) facing many schools varsity squads. It was a photo finish with Seth Stromberg, Devin Jaster, and Josh Peters going 1-2-3 all running 16:50 - they finished only .4 seconds apart. We also had top 10 performances from Jacob Vaughan (4), Britton Porter (5), Lance Thornton (6), Nate Wilde (8), and McKay Treadwell (10). If those boys were able to run in the varsity race, they would have finished 4th or 5th. The freshman and sophomore boys also won in a close match up with Pine View (49-58). We were led in that race by Derek Thornton (4th), Zach Jenkins (8th), Connor Jones (11th), and Cole Weaver (12th). Our freshman/sophomore group would have been 2nd in the Open JV race and would have beaten at least 6 teams in the varsity race. We saw some great pack running from them as well.
The JV girls had an intense head-to-head battle with the AF JV team - They got us by 7 points in a very close matchup. Rosie Schraedel had a breakout race to finish 6th (with the 2 open races combined), Sarah Waddoups and Emmaline Huntzinger ran tough for 7th and 8th, and our top 7 were rounded out by Maddie Johnson (12), Sydney Zaugg (13), Malaree Wood (14), and Sydnee Rayl (16). We are seeing a ton of toughness, depth, and teamwork from our young girls. The girls in the freshman/sophomore race also ran strong with Addy Rich finishing 6th and Jennica Robinson in 13th to lead the way. They finished 3rd in the team scoring without the help of 6 underclassman that wee moved up to the other races.

Thanks!

Brad's Corner -
My running went through many stages. And I'm not just talking about the stage of being a good looking, clever, witty, and tall runner to the stage of a better looking, much more clever, measurably more witty and slightly taller runner either. Though I did go through those stages.
During my freshman and sophomore year, when I felt great, I ran great! But when I didn't feel great I let everything go to crap.
Why? I'm not sure. I think in my head, I wanted people to know I wasn't feeling great. So instead of running 10-20 seconds slower I would put this look of pain on my face...you know...that look like "I am working so hard, but gosh darn it, I don't feel very well." (We've all seen it.) Soon after I would crash and burn. Then people, in my head of course, were thinking: "Too bad he felt so extremely horrible today, or he would have won. It's not his fault. Poor Anderson." But the hard reality was...I was giving up. No way to sugar coat it. I gave up when the race was not going my way and I had doubts.
When I ran like this I had plenty of good races. Plenty of terrible races. And very few in the middle. I could see the pattern.

By my Junior year, after lots of running, and some serious soul searching I turned my running around. I decided when I felt things going badly in a race, instead of giving up I was going to find a manageable gear and just focus on that and grind it out. I thought about my TEAM and how they counted on me too. And something amazing started happening. When I did this, I always realized I could work through the pain and feeling badly then the race would turn around. Where before, I gave up and didn't work through the struggles so I never gave myself the opportunity to work through it. My running became consistent. You knew what you were going to get from me. A coach could count on me. My TEAM could count on me.
I still often wonder how much better I would have been had I learned this when I were a Freshman. This biggest thing I hate to see a runner do is GIVE UP! I know it hurts! I know racing is hard! You don't need to tell me. You don't even have to show me. I KNOW! But I also know that working through the pain and struggle is not only possible, it is extremely rewarding. I didn't learn much in the races I felt amazing and ran fast. I learned in the races I felt badly, things weren't going my way, but I dug in and pulled through. That my friends is where the great runners are made!
So next time you feel it coming on, oh and it will, find that manageable gear. Fight through it, and it will turn around. But NEVER...EVER...especially when you have "Davis" on your jersey...give up!
