The girls came into the meet thinking a top 4 team placing was possible and although we didn't quite get that, there were some great runs and some valuable lessons learned. Park City and Ogden proved to be the class of the 3A field and ran some of the fastest team times in Utah history - and Cedar's Aimee Bryson set a new state record. Leading the pack for PV was Rachel Stone running a strong 10th place and finishing as the 2nd fastest time in PVXC history with a 19:09. Rachel was followed by Jessica Peterson (31st - 20:32), Mia Hart (33rd - 20:40). Liz Lunt ran a strong 4th for the team placing 43rd with a 20:56. Rounding out our scoring was Kaelie Gillespie who ran a 21:56 for 73rd. Taylor Boyer placed 81st with a 22:07 and Aubrey McBride placed 103rd with a 22:57. Despite placing 6th, this was the 2nd fastest team time in PVXC history (only to last year's time).
The boys also had hopes of a high finish at State and found themselves in position for 2nd/3rd throughout much of the race before dropping back to finish 5th. Michael Finch ran very well and placed 3rd in a new school record time of 15:39! Byron Warby ran a strong 16:30 (14th fastest time in PV history) to place 20th - and he will be coming back as the 3rd ranked returner next year. Casey Kimzey (28th - 16:43), Paul Gaona (43rd - 17:02, new PV Freshman record holder and fastest Freshman in 3A!), and Matthew Young (47th - 17:06) rounded out the scoring. Jason Lindhardt placed 57th in 17:19 and Colton Bowler placed 75th in 17:41. The boys also ran the 2nd fastest time in our history.
Overall this was a very positive season. We have set ourselves up for many good years in the future. We will greatly miss our Seniors - you have all meant a lot to our program. Thanks so much for all you have done.
