Sept. 30 - Oct. 5th

Awesome awesome job to everyone at Park City on Friday this past week. We had a lot of great performances and despite being at a higher altitude we had people running faster than they have all year on a 3 mile course. Congrats to our Girls Varsity team for taking first not only in the PM race we went to but for taking first still with the meet merge from the AM race. Big shout out to our very own Elisabeth Ferrell for winning the individual girls varsity title. Our boys finished 2nd behind a good American Fork team. Our girls JV team took 2nd and our boys team won the JV team title. Congrats to Matthew Neuenschwander on the individual JV boys title. This is the fun part of the season. Keep up with all of the little things we harp on all the time (nutrition, hydration, sleep, rolling out/stretching). We have  a week break this week with no race so we have 2 weeks to prepare for the region 5 championships. Please make sure you are at practice everyday this week and next so you can do your best at the region championships.

Also, so we can get it scheduled and on your calendar, Thursday November 7th we will be having our cross country team banquet at the school. This is for all athletes and their parents. More information to come but put that in your calendars.
