Dream 1600

Tuesday PVXC held its annual 1600 time trial to finish off our XC season.  For the past few years, we have ran this race the week of our trip to Nike.  It is a little different to be on the track, but it is exciting to see the great improvement in times and our growth of a team as we get ready to finish up XC and head into track.
As they have all year, the girls ran in a strong pack.  Mia Hart led the team through the first 3 1/2 laps, until Ali Johanson's 800 speed came into play and she pushed to the front to finish with a time of 5:44.  Many ladies ran their 1600 PR's today including Meskerem Stucki, Alli Peterson, Cristina Gaona, Alli Baker, Macey Widdison, Carli Kimzey, Monica Taylor, Anna Baker, Taylor Hancock and Marissa Olsen.
The boys were again led by the two standouts Taylor Abel and Byron Warby.  Both hit times that are actually State Track qualifying times for the upcoming season.  In the end, Taylor out-sprinted Byron with our 2nd fastest time ever (behind Mike Finch's 4:29 last year) to finish at 4:30.8.  Again many athletes set their PR's today including Colton Bowler, Nick Hill, Kyler Prisbrey, Reed Burr, Andrew Nielsen, Paul Gaona, Josh Farish, Jason Hall, Logan Hirschi, Dave Swapp, Dallen Gillespie, Skyler Abel, Alex Hill, Josh Farneman, Jake Brown, Zach Crowell, Bryan Loya, Bradly Mendenhall, Trent Olsen, Jared Pugmire and Wesley Pugmire.
