Nebo Invite/Wahsatch Rendezvous

PVXC had a successful trip up North this past weekend. On Friday the Varsity teams competed in the Nebo Invitational at Salem Hills HS, and on Saturday the JV's ran at the Wahsatch Rendezvous.
At Nebo, the girls took a close third to two very strong teams - Lehi and Maple Mountain. Kaylee Boyer added to her individual titles this year with a strong finishing time of 18:22 on the flat grass 3 mile course. Jessica Peterson had a killer kick to take 2nd in 18:28. Following, in the top ten was Rachel Stone finishing 7th in 19:05. The boys took 5th in a very tight race from 2nd-5th. Devin Gillespie paced the team in 18th with a 16:08 finish; followed by Tyson Boyer who is improving from his ankle injury - taking 22nd in 16:17. Casey Kimzey also had one of his better races of the season running 3rd on the team and 30th overall.
At the Wahsatch Rendezvous, both JV's ran very well. The girls took 1st - led by MaKayla Baxter (9th -5th scorer - in 21:28), Liz Harrison (11th - 6th scorer), Kelsi Vaka (13th - 7th scorer), Taylor Boyer (15th - 8th scorer), and Liz Lunt (15th - 10th scorer). Many other ladies ran very well and recorded seasons best on this tough and hilly 3 mile course. The boys also ran well taking 3rd, just 3 points off 1st. Byron Warby took 7th in 17:36, followed by Jason Lindhardt (9th), Wes Plumb (12th), Matthew Young (22nd), and Austin Manuele (29th).
