Nebo/Wahsatch

We had a rainy, chilly and great trip to northern Utah for our team overnighter.  Our racing started with our 7-10 boys running the JV race at Nebo.  The all ran well, working together to push themselves to great times and help determine who our Varsity will be in our final few races as we head into championship season.  The Varsity ladies then ran as a strong pack.  Although it wasn't our best race, it was a great team effort and we place all 7 runners in front of our main rival's - Cedar - 5th girl.  That teamwork pushed us to a 4th place finish in this large invite.  The Varsity boys then ran and had strong performances from Nick Hill, Paul Gaona and Dallen Gillespie.
The following day, the Varsity practiced at the State course and then got down to the Cottonwood Complex just in time to watch the JV girls at the Wahsatch Rendevzous.  For our team, this course and the Region South course are most like the experience of running at State with the rolling hills and all grass courses.  The JV girls ran excellent and placed 3rd in the team scoring led by Megan Finch (7th), Brianna Loya (8th) and Carli Kimzey (12th).  The JV boys also ran very well and 2nd - just a few points off 5A Herriman.  The boys were led by Mitch Price with a 4th place finish; followed by Macen Walker (7th), Skylar Abel (11th) and Zach Crowell (14th).  It was a great meet and brought our weekend to a very good end.
