Oct. 28th-Nov. 2nd

We had a great week at the state championships this past week as our boys team made history being the first program in Farmington history to win a state championship. Our boys were 1st and our girls also brought home some hardware with a 2nd place finish. What an incredible finish in our second year as a school. Big shout out to everyone who helped take part in this week with the team dinner on Tuesday, the cheering section (which was the best one there) and those who raced. Thank you thank you thank you for all of your hard work. Let's keep building the legacy here at Farmington that will continue for many years to come.

If you have any pictures from State or any other meet this year, please add them to our team photo album so we can get going on the banquet video.

If you haven't filled out the banquet survey yet, please do so now. It is November 7th at 6 PM.

Now that we've celebrated, let's get back to work. We have NXR coming up in 4 weeks and we need to get back on the grind for a few weeks so we can go tear it up down in Arizona. I think we have finally got the logistics figured out but will know for sure later this week so I will let you guys know asap as far as final arrangements for NXR. Once they are finalized please make sure you pay your $200 to Marie Spackman via venmo @emspackman. Let's make sure we are at practice and continuing to log miles on strava as well.

NXR Sign-up

The moment you've all been waiting for. Here is the sign up link for NXR. Remember this isn't a school sponsored trip so this is a club event put on by parents so there isn't any ties to the school. Money goes to the Spackmans. Please only sign up if you're serious about going. First come first serve for the 48 spots available on the bus. Cost will be about $200 for your travel, hotel, and race entry.

NXR will be on November 23rd (Saturday before Thanksgiving). This will not be a school trip it is parent sponsored but it will cost roughly $200 for the trip.

Oct 7th-12th -Region

Great job to everyone this past week with your workouts. We had a great week of training and now we are ready to head into region this Friday prepped and ready to throw down. Those who are racing at Region with it being your last race of the UHSAA season drop your mileage another 10% this week. You guys are in full taper mode. So you should be about 70% of your mileage from it's highest point this season. Those that will likely continue to state, keep your mileage at 100% again this week. Please get your homework done as soon as you can so you can get to bed and get some sleep all week leading up to the race. It's the little things that make a big difference!
