Darts!
We had so many great things happen at the Dart Challenge, I can hardly contain my excitement for the season! A couple of notable things: Harrison Skousen ran the fastest time of any high schooler to run that course. Isabella Cram also ran the fastest time of any high school girl. This is incredible! Luke Baughman ran the 10th fastest time among all Juniors. And Bevan Haycock ran the 14th fastest time ever for a Sophomore. On the girls' side, Eliza Knechtel ran the 21st fastest time ever of any Senior. Erin Christensen was #4 for Junior girls and Addy Loveland was #7 and Sophia Wichtoski was #22 all-time for Freshman! (The Dart Challenge info on the blog is outdated. I will try to get a login and update that ASAP. I'm such a data nerd and I have so many fun data things to look at from the Dart Challenge over the years...). Another fun fact: if you add the top 5 times on the girls' TEAM, it's the fastest 1-5 we've had since recording the Dart Challenge in 2001. And it's the first time we've had 6 girls (Izzy, Erin, Addy, Eliza, Elise, Courtney) run 20:00 or under since 2016 when the girls placed 2nd at state. Several of the boys were working through some things and about 6 of our top 12 weren't "racing" for various reason. We are mostly healthy, but just making sure for a few of us. Let's never have that many unhealthy runners again though. 😅 Regardless, things are looking very good for both our girls' and boys' TEAMs!
A HUGE shoutout to the amazing parents who put so much into this race! It was such a classy, fun event. From the registration table, to the signs, to the awards, to the finish balloons, to the amazing pictures that Shaunna took, it was just a very impressive event. The one thing that could use some work...me doing the timing....I think we have some plans to make that better next year! Thank you Becca, Cassandra, Monica, Shaunna, Jennifer, Taya, Camie, Heather and many others. 🙏🙏🙏
Also, I'm ordering a few more Dart Challenge shirts. Please let me know ASAP if you didn't receive one!
Quick Reminders and Links:
- Send mileage as always!!! Send them in to be included in mileage prizes! This is what I have so far! There will be a prize for those of you that send in every single week of mileage. PLEASE send this via email (so much easier for me to find than text) and please add up all of your mileage for me. (With 60-80 kids on the TEAM, even a little adding takes a lot more time). Thanks!
- Blog - Working to Keep this updated. Check here for any past information I've sent out!
- Parent/Athlete Challenge - I hope to be giving away 100s of these shirts! Let me know when you complete the challenge! I got mine this week! (I am open to other books too. Let me know if something should be added). This challenge can go to parents, grandparents, athletes, siblings, neighbors who love DXC—anyone. Haha.

Hygiene
In order to be our very very best, we need to stay healthy. We have some sickness on the TEAM currently. Don't share waterbottles, wash your hands all of the time, [no kissing-only kinda joking...], BE SMART!
Athletes of the Week
- Bevan Haycock - Bevan had an incredible race. It's been fun to watch him learn to love running and get faster and faster! Bevan ran over FOUR MINUTES faster than he ran last year! That's insane! He broke 17 minutes which is a huge break-through and he's primed for a really fast and fun season! Bevan adds so much to our TEAM and deserves this huge race!
- Sophia Wichtoski - Sophia is one of our adorable new freshmen, and we couldn't love her more! I knew she was fast, but she surprised me with such a great performance on Saturday! Sophia made our all-time Freshman list which is not easy to do! We're so glad she is running with us this year and can't wait to see what she does in the future!
- Solomon Bowen - One of the strengths of our TEAM is the DEPTH on the boys' side. Solomon had a huge race, placing 4th overall and racing objectively faster than he's ever raced. Solomon has put in a super solid summer of training and I think we're just scratching the surface of what he's capable of! Can't wait to see what the future holds!
- Elise Nielson - Elise just keeps making huge jumps in her performance. She improved in the Dart Challenge by over 2 minutes from last year! Going sub 20 for the first time is so exciting and Elise did it on a week where she didn't feel great! Our girls TEAM is looking pretty amazing and Elise is a big part of that! Love you Elise!
This week
Tomorrow when you arrive at the track the band will be practicing! I will have a plan to stay out of their way. Please be respectful!
If you aren't doing fall cross country, Tuesday will be your last day of practice!
Pre-Region
August 22nd
Layton Commons Park
8:00 JV Girls (2 miles)
8:30 JV Boys (2 miles)
9:00 Varsity Girls (3 miles)
9:30 Varsity Boys (3 miles)
Somehow I failed to put pre-region on our calendar! I'm so sorry! It is this Saturday at 8:00am at Layton Commons Park. I will work on entries over the next couple of days. You will be able to see entries HERE. There will be 2-mile and 3-mile options. If this race doesn't work for you, especially because it's last minute, please let me know! I will register everyone that is on Register My Athlete. For all races from here on out, I will be the one registering kids!
Fall Cross Country
This is my current list of who has started Register My Athlete and who has paid for warmups ($140 to @davisrunningclub venmo). This is my list of kids for whom I ordered warm-ups. If you aren't doing the season and you're on this list please let me know and I'll take you off. We'll only give warmups to those competing with us in the fall--if I end up with extras, I'll save them for next year. :)
Starting Thursday August 19th we will hold practice at 3:15. We'll meet in room 1401 every day. I have added times to our meets on our schedule below.
Please let me know if you'd like to be removed from my email list. I'm happy to include you even if you aren't running, but I'm also not offended if you'd like to be removed. Haha.
Fundraiser
We have had some success from our fundraiser! I'm so proud of you! We are asking each athlete to reach out to at least 3 businesses (many did that at practice) and text at least 10 people. You can have businesses fill out this sponsorship form! Businesses can venmo @davisrunningclub or donate online HERE. We need money in both places, but probably a little more in the Davis Running club. Thank you so much!
