We've entered fall! And the two chilly and rainy races we had last weekend proved it.
At Nebo, our JV squads ran very well. The Fresh/Soph girls started us of with a big team victory! Gracie Clements placed 4th, Jada Chepkwurui 8th, and Jenessa Finch just behind her in 9th. Rounding out the scoring were Pyper Holt and Allison Brown. The Fresh/Soph boys placed 7th in the 18 scoring team field, led by Freshman Scottie Bushar who finished 13th. The JV girls didn't have a full scoring squad; nonetheless, they ran very well. Brianna Loya recorded our top time and finish of the day with a 19:43 and 2nd place. Addi Baker followed shortly after in 4th. And finally, the JV boys placed 3rd led by Mikey Abegglen's 13th place scoring finish.
In Idaho, the Varsity teams competed at the Bob Firman Invite. This may have been the deepest girls field ever at this meet. Our girls ran well, but not great - we had a little better team time than last year, but weren't quite where we expected position-wise in the race. As a result we placed 8th in the Elite race. We were led by Jessica Hill's 27th place finish. Following Jess was Caroline Clements (51st), Alli Baker (62nd), Ellie Bushar (69th), and Jacey Finch (73rd). The boys didn't have a great showing, but came away with a lot of great experiences to learn from. Carson Horspool was our top finisher in 48th place; helping the team place 15th in the Elite race.
Let's put up our usual reminders to get your minutes in and be at practice so you can compete this week at the Cedar Invite. Please enter your minutes for Week 16 here.
Cedar Invite: On Friday, we will be racing at the Cedar Invite at CHS. We have two buses and would love to take the whole team. So please make sure you are eligible. This race charges by the entry, so please be prepared to let Coach know on Monday if you are unable to attend. The buses will leave sometime around 2:00p on Friday. Each athlete MUST take the bus up to the meet, but can leave with your parent after all the races are finished. If parents want to leave earlier (after your race) that is wonderful, but athletes need to stay and support their teammates in all the races, PLEASE! Their is a YOUNGSTERS RACE at this meet. It will be a 1.75 mile run (two of three loops of the course). The cost (for the youngsters) is $2 and is payable at the meet. The youth race starts at 3:30p.

Thought for the Week: We are going to do something a little different this week... Instead of giving you a quote, we want you to go to this site that list quotes from a book called Good to Great: ... and read through some of the quotes from the author of this book. As you read through them, pick one that stands out most to you. Bring that quote with you to our team meeting tomorrow and be ready to share why and how it impacted you.
