Cross Country does well in pre-season competition

The cross county team finishes a great 2 week camp.

 TEAM Camp was AMAZING with so many highlights that included; the running, the breakfasts, the running, the otter pops, the running clinic thanks to our friends from Orem High, the running, the ropes course, the running, the wall, the running, the games, the running, the campfires, the running, the stories, the running, fun, the running, the BBQ’s, the running, the debut guitar song “cross country runner” by Katie, the running, the pranks by Sarah, the pranks pulled on Sarah, the running, the hikes, the running, the jokes by Daniel, the running, the swimming in the glacier lake, the running, the karaoke and dance party, the running, the fun, the running, the TEAM night dinner at Pizza Factory, and finally the running. The friendships & memories of these two weeks will really stick with all of you for a long time.  

This past weekend our TEAM raced at the American fork grass relays. This is a fun two mile race with hay bales at different points of the course. There were 31 high schools from Utah and Wyoming. The varsity ran a five person relay. In this relay our girls placed 4th overall (Autumn Gibson, Hayley Knapp, Sara Hash, Lindsay Schuring, Rachel Warnick) and our boys placed 7th overall (Paxton Patey, Nathan Vance, Isaac Faux, Jonah Hadlock, Kevin Muirbrook). Junior Paxton Patey & Sophomore Isaac Faux both placed in the top 15 overall. In the girls Frosh/Soph race Maddie Ball placed 6th and earned a medal. Also earning a medal in the JV race were Seniors Brette Bennett & Alenia Robertson placing 9th & 10th. There were several other great performances in this meet.

This meet was a good early meet and gave us a good idea of where we stack up with the rest of the state. We were very impressed with the improvement that many of you made in this meet. Many of you ran well. However keep in mind that it was an early meet. There is a lot more running and racing to go this season. Let us keep our goals in mind and keep up our hard work and dedication and good things will follow.
