Provo Bulldog and Wahsatch Rendezvous

PROVO BULLDOG
What a big weekend for our team! Both Varsity teams and a few JV runners traveled to Provo to run in the Provo Bulldog Invite. The girls ran extremely well and were a mere few points from beating Snow Canyon. If you can't tell, this has been our goal all year as SC is the defending region champ and a strong team. Each meet this year, the girls have closed the gap and gotten closer to this goal. Stefani and Cassidy's strong races at Provo really moved us a step in the right direction.
The JV boys ran solid as well. The best run was probably Casey's. He really looked strong and pushed himself.
The Varsity boys were up against a very strong field with American Fork (SW#2/US#13), Mountain View (SW#3/US#23) and a very good Pleasant Grove team. We really ran as a team and each runner did great as we were able to take second to American Fork, defeating MV by nearly 20 points! This was a big step for our team on our goal of a State Title!
WAHSATCH RENDEZVOUS
After an very physically and emotionally draining race yesterday, the Varsity boys bounced back to win the Wahsatch Rendezvous! This unique race pits each #7 runner against each other, each #6, and so on. Tason started us well with a 15 second victory. Ryan continued the winning ways with a 17 second victory of his own at #6. Then Devin won #5 by 9 seconds. Finally, Tyson won #4 by 4 seconds (24th overall). Austin ran very well at #3, taking 3rd (even with a wrong turn) and 17th overall. Corey also took 3rd (at #2) and 13th overall. In the final race, we needed a solid race from Trevor to take home the win, and he delivered a great final mile, moving into 5th (3rd scoring) and securing a 1 point win over a very strong Hillcrest team.
