Race Reports: Murray/Herriman

I have been slow and haven't updated race reports for a little while, so I had better say something quick.
The Varsity boys and girls headed up north the past two Fridays for big invitationals.
The first (9/7) was the Murray Invite.  Both teams did well and finished in the top 10.  The girls were led by Rachel Stone who placed 37th to help guide the team to 10th place overall.  This was a strong finish by the girls and shows that they are on the right path.  Mike Finch led the boys to a 7th place team finish with his 6th place overall in a time of 15:54 on the 5K course. 
This past weekend we raced on the toughest 5K course in Utah - and I didn't believe it until I saw it, but it really is! - up at the Herriman Invite.  The girls improved on last week's performance and took 3rd place overall with Mia Hart (14th), Jessica Peterson (5th), and Rachel Stone (4th) all earning 1st and 2nd team awards.  The boys also took 3rd - defeating DH for the first time this year.  Placing in the top 14 for the boys were Byron Warby (12th) and Michael Finch (2nd).  Great job everyone!  This week... up to Nebo and Wahsatch!
