With Snow Canyon Invite being canceled, we improvised and held a time trial on our 2 mile course on Weds. 10/6. A couple good things actually came of this: 1) We were able to get out and still do some hard running; 2) Only racing 2 miles keeps the legs a little fresher for Region (especially since it turns out that Region got moved to Monday the 11th; 3)and finally, this is the same course we raced on the 17th of Aug. and we got to see MAJOR improvements across the board!
With the top 5 boys not planning on racing SC anyway, they didn't run the time trial, neither did Kaylee as she hit a separate workout. Others:
Liz Harrison solidified her Varsity spot for Region with a very solid 14:18 (22:01 State equiv. and 2 1/2 minutes PR on the course). Running strong with Liz were Sierra Worlton (14:21, looking strong to come back after injury) and Megan Frodsham (14:24). Gaining ground - as she has all season - was Mia Hart coming in at 14:26 and making a serious bid for the Varsity team at State after she runs well at Region. Also strong in the second pack was MaKayla Baxter (14:30) and Madisson Hanson (14:38). The biggest improvements throughout the season can be awarded to Taylor Boyer who improved nearly 5 1/2 minutes and Liz Lunt who had a remarkable improvement of 10 minutes!
The boys were paced by Dyllen Cafferty who hit a very strong 11:08 (4th fastest time of the year on this course and a 17:08 State equiv.) and Casey Kimzey's 11:14 - both are looking solid for the 6th and 7th Varsity spots. The JV crew also ran very strong as they look to bring another blackout to the Region JV race: Jared Ellsworth (11:24), Wesley Plumb (11:34), Michael Finch (11:37), Morgan Wood (11:45), Tim Lunt (11:52), and Austin Manuele (11:53) all broke the 12 minute barrier. The big movers on the boys' side were Byron Warby and Colton Bowler. Both Freshmen improved in the 1:45 range.
