The day started with the JV girls placing the highest they have in recent memory with a 3rd place showing - just 10 points off of 1st. Carli Kimzey ran an amazing and gusty race taking 2nd. She was followed in the top ten by Brianna Loya, 4th, and Megan Finch, 8th. Although this is a very tough, hilly, windy course and it was a warm day for mid-October, many girls ran their best races of the year - some even hitting near PR times.
The JV boys took 2nd placing all 5 scores in the top 10. Paul Gaona led much of the race and finished 2nd. He was followed very closely by Mitch Price - running his best race of the year and taking 4th overall. Then the trio of Skylar Abel, Logan Hirschi and Zach Crowell rounded out our scoring. It was a very close race with the DH and the boys ran with guts.
The Varsity girls came into the race with a real shot at a Region title after defeating Cedar at their invite and they took full opportunity! The girls got out strong and used their excellent packing to move up throughout the race finishing with a 24 second spread and with all 5 scorers in before Cedar's 2nd and Snow Canyon's 3rd girls! Leading our team were the Bushar sisters - with Josie finishing 7th and Ellie right behind her in 8th. Caroline Clements rounded out the Region medalist and took 10th. She was followed closely by Alli Peterson and Nicole Heinrich who secured the title and 2nd-Team All-Region honors with their finishes. As we have all year, our 6th and 7th runners also contributed by finishing before all teams 5th runners and knocking their scorers down. Congrats ladies on the Region Title!
