October 18th-23rd

Congrats to our boys and girls varsity teams as they both qualified for State on the 27th. The girls were third in their division race and 6th in the 6A meet merge. The boys won their division and were 1st on the 6A merge. Both our boys and girls cross country teams will compete at the 2021 UHSAA State Championships at the Regional Athletic Complex at Rose Park on the 27th at 4 PM and 4:30 PM. Results for the divisional race can be found here: 2021 6A Divisionals.

Another big thanks to the Hildreth's for hosting our team dinner last week and to the Bradshaws for helping. We don't have any races this week and no team dinners. More info to come on our next one. 

This week we don't have a ton going on, mostly practice and gearing up for State with our varsity teams. We did get some good news on Friday and the trip has been approved by the parent survey, now we will send it off to the district for final approval and booking of the trip so more info to come but we are getting closer. We are 5 weeks away from NXR so please make sure we are taking care of ourselves and coming to practice. If we aren't able to take all 66 of you wanting to go, we may need to look into narrowing it down to 52 and if that's the case we may look at those coming to practice vs those who aren't and that may help make the decision on who goes and who doesn't so please come to practice. 

We just found out about a new meet on October 30th. This will be the JV State Championships down in Spanish Fork. This is a new race that they are trying to put together and have as a race in the future every year. Anyone not competing at the UHSAA Varsity Championships on the 27th can attend. I need to get the team signed up if anyone wants to go. We will not be doing a bus down the Spanish fork but if you guys want to get yourselves down there to race, I will sign you up. Please fill out this form if you are interested in going to this race. 2021 JV State Registration Thanks! Here is a tentative schedule for that Saturday (30th):

What another great week to be a Phoenix. Our boys JV put in 9 of the top 10 in their race to win with 18 points. Our JV Girls were a super close 2nd place only 1 point behind Weber. Both our boys and girls varsity teams brought home the region trophy. Our boys finished 1,2,3,4,6 to score 16 points snapping Davis' 25+ year streak of winning region 1. Our girls came away with a 44-68 win over Davis and Layton. What a fun day for everyone. Great job and thanks for not only being great runners but more importantly, thanks for being great people. 

This week we have Divisionals for our varsity teams on Tuesday. We are only ordering one bus for this one so only the varsity team will be heading down to this one, especially since it is during school. It's going to be snowing and raining the whole time anyway so it'll be a crazy day. When we go to state on the 27th, we will have 2 buses so we can take the whole team. 

Huge thanks to the Austin's for helping host the team dinner last week. And thanks to the Browns and Muirbrooks for helping out with the region dinner last week. This week we are having the team dinner on Monday night at 6 at the Hildreth household. The Bradshaws and Martineaus will be helping. Everyone is still invited, even though not everyone will be racing. 745 S. Burlrush Rd. Farmington

This week we have our Region 1 XC Championships back at Layton Park. This will be the last race of the UHSAA season for most of you so let's get after it. The course is also different than the one we did last week at District Championships. See the course map below for the exact course but essentially it will be similar to our Pre-region race, only it will be 3 laps and a 3 mile race. 

We also have a team dinner this week at Britton and Trey Austin's home. The Waites and the Browns are also helping out. This is usually a fun dinner with it being the one right before region so come!! It will be at 6 PM and the captains will have some words of wisdom for everyone. Address is 2137 S 100E in Kaysville. Thanks to the Nelsons, Havens and Jacobsmeyers for their help at last week's team dinner. 

With the NXR conversation, we have filled all the spots on the bus. If you are still wanting to go, still fill this form out so we have an exact count and then we can decide if we need to get another bus or van to go down or what we need to do: If you are interested in going to NXR, fill this form out: NXR 2021 Registration

September 27th - October 2nd - Davis District Championships

Wonderful job to everyone at Border Wars on Friday. That is a tough 3 mile course and we had a great showing. Race results can be found here: 2021 Border Wars Results. This week we have the Davis District Championships at Layton park. This is a 2.75 mile course that is different than our Pre-region and region course. I will try to locate a map for you guys who haven't run this before but we'll explain it if I can't find one. This is a fun race back at Layton park and will help us improve our speed on the shorter course. Please make sure you are at practice every day this week and taking care of yourselves.

Thanks to the Reaveley family for hosting our team dinner last week. Also a thanks to the Stanger and Andersen families for their help. This week we have our team dinner on Tuesday at the Nelson residence (See address below) and the Haven and Jacobsmeyer families are helping as well. Thank you!

We are nearing the end of the high school season as we have one more week until region. For those who are interested in going to Nike Cross Regionals in November, you are welcome to continue to come to practice and train with us even after the high school season is over, which for many of you will be after Region next Tuesday. Once the high school season is over, which will be after state on October 27th, if you are interested in going to NXR you HAVE to be at practice. We will not take anyone to NXR who is not coming to practice. Going to NXR is not just a vacation we are going to race and we will only take those who are serious about going to compete. More info will come regarding NXR but to start thinking about it we would leave Thursday November 18th and get back really early Sunday morning the 21st. Cost will be somewhere around $200-$250. This is a ballpark estimate as we won't know until we get official hotel rooms and a bus booked.

September 20th - 25th - Border Wars

This past week we were able to preview the state course down in Rose Park at the Regional Athletic Complex. We saw some great performances despite some warmer weather and a long 5k distance. Great job to everyone. Our Jr/Sr Boys Won not only the Thursday afternoon session but also won in the combined results with all 4 sessions. Results can be found here: 2021 Pre-State Invite.

This week we get to go back to Sugar House Park (the site that hosted the state XC Championships every year until last year). The first 2 miles of the course this week is the exact same as the old state course. The last mile will be a little different as we will finish in the park still and not on the track. This will be a 3 mile race and it will be a great race as teams from Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and all over Utah come together for ultimate bragging rights. This race will have more races than any other race we've been to. They will have each individual class races as well as a varsity and championship race. Please pay close attention to the schedule below to know when you race.

Thanks again to the Millers, Browns and Petersons for their help with the team dinner this past week. This week the team dinner will be Thursday night at 6:00 PM at the Reaveley residence (1169 S. Preakness Dr - Kaysville). The Stangers and Andersens will also be helping. THANK YOU!!!

September 13th - 18th Pre-State Invitational

We had another successful weekend at the BYU Autumn Classic Saturday. Of the 6 races we had we came home with 4 top 2 finishes on the team side which we will be receiving some plaques with our team pictures on them. It was a long 5K but we still saw lots of people getting PRs and running your hardest. Great job to everyone and let's keep it up as our season is flying by. This week we have the pre-state invitational on Thursday. This is an invite for everyone but it will be on the state course that the varsity team will compete on in the end of October. This will be a fun event and it will be held at the Regional Athletic Complex in Rose Park. For spectators it will cost $5 per individual to enter the park, or $15 for a carload with 5 people or less, and $25 for a car full of 6 or more people. Meet schedule is posted below.

This is a crucial time in the season to really take care of yourself. Stay organized with school so you can get plenty of sleep and not be up super late doing homework. Prioritize everything you have going on right now. Make sure you are icing, stretching, and rolling out anything that is tight or sore. It's the little things that will really make a big impact on how the remainder of your season shakes out. 

Just as a reminder, if you have any pictures from any of our meets we have gone to, please upload them to this album: Farmington XC 2021 Photo Album

We also want to thank the Halverson, Waite and May families for their help with our team dinner last week. This week we will have our team dinner on Wednesday night at 6 PM at the Miller Residence (373 Oak Lane in Farmington). The Browns and Petersons will be helping out. Thanks so much!!

Weekly Mileage Chart: This week we will drop our mileage down 10% from last week so we should be at 90% of our max mileage again. If you are planning a max of 40 miles, you should hit 36 this week. The best way to get some more mileage this week is to have a longer run on Saturday and do a few doubles where you run at practice and in the morning. Wednesdays would be great days to get a morning run in. 

September 6th-September 11th - BYU Invite

We had a great outing Friday at the 12th annual "Top of Utah" invitational at the Weber county fairgrounds. Of the 6 races, we won 4 of them respectively. Congrats to our boys and girls varsity teams on the overall team win. Great job to everyone and let's keep getting after it at practice. Results to the meet can be found here: 2021 TOU Invite. 

This week we have the BYU invite on Saturday. Just as a heads up to all the parents looking to go and watch, it will be $6 per spectator to enter. We will likely be back home Saturday around 1:45-2:00 PM would be my best guess. Meet info below.

Big thank you to the Wheelers for hosting our team dinner last week and a big thanks to the Gibbs and Stangers for also helping out with the team dinner. This week, we will do our team dinner on Friday at the school after practice at 4:30. Thanks to the Halversons, Mays, and Waites for their willingness to help out Friday.
