August 31st - Sept 5th - Timp Invite

Great job to everyone this past week at our dual against Bonneville. Results are posted on the schedule/results tab if you want to take a look at that. We have another dual against Viewmont on Wednesday. Again we invite parents and spectators to come but they MUST be wearing masks. We got in trouble because we had some parents and athletes without masks on and we need to clean that up if we want to continue to have a season this year. Please wear your masks!! 

We also have a meet on Saturday at Lakeside park in Orem (Vineyard). Unfortunately parents are not allowed to attend that meet as there are a lot of athletes and numbers need to be reduced at the park. We will leave early Saturday morning at 5:45 AM - bring a pillow. Please don't be late. We will return around 1:30 back to the school. Please let me know if you won't be able to attend as it is Labor day weekend. If your parents want to watch you race we will have a live stream on our Instagram page.

At our meet on September 12th (a week from Saturday) everyone needs to fill out a participation form to compete at Soldier Hollow. You MUST fill out this Soldier Hollow Waiver by Thursday night if you want to compete at the Wasatch Invite.  I can't verify if you have filled it out or not so please make sure you do this!

Aug. 24th - 29th - Home JV Meet

School is starting this week and we are pumped to finally have a race we can take the whole team to. This Wednesday we have a home JV dual against Bonneville high. There will just be two races (Girls and Boys) and it will be on our campus. Spectators are welcome as long as they have masks on (Required) and keep socially distant during the race. Girls start time is 3:30 PM and boys at 4:15 PM.

This past Friday our boys and girls varsity teams competed at the region 5 pre-region meet. Both the boys and girls teams won the meet and had another great showing. Results for that race can be found here: Pre-Region 2020 Results.

With School starting up this week practices will be more mandatory now. You should not have work scheduled during our practice times (3-5) so if you choose to work during the season do what you need to and get that time off. Please make sure you are coming to practice and talk to a coach if there is an emergent thing that comes up. 

Uniforms will be passed out at practice on Tuesday for those who have purchased their uniform and are eligible to compete on Wednesday. If you are new to the program and don't have a uniform it should be on your MyDSD ($65). If it isn't you can go to the office and pay for it or email me and I can put it on your MyDSD to pay online. 

If you order gear from the team store it should be here sometime this week. I will keep you posted as soon as I have more info.

Also, Jessica Taylor and Marcia Mitchell are working on doing some yard signs for the team. They will cost $15 and payments will be done to Jessica Taylor (Brooke's Mom). They will have Farmington XC on them and your name. If you are interested in buying a yard sign please fill out this form and indicate what you want on the sign. 2020 XC Yard Sign. Payment made via Venmo to Jessica Taylor at: @jessicataylor_4

Both our boys and girls varsity teams took home the win at our meet on Saturday. We had 5 girls in the top 10 and all 7 of our boys in the top 10. They had a great showing and represented Farmington well. The results can be found here: 2020 Premier Invite.

We had a great week of training this past week and hopefully you have acclimated yourself to the heat. This week we have another great week of heat training. Please make sure you are hydrating and taking care of yourself. Roll out and stretch. Get sleep. Eat a well balanced diet. All the things. 

This week we have our pre-region meet. Unfortunately we are only able to take top 10 to the race and we can't have any spectators/parents attend the race. We apologize for this but the region voted and decided they wanted to be extra careful to not jeopardize losing Weber County Fairgrounds as our region site.

 THANK YOU to everyone who helped make our 3rd annual Phoenix 5k a success. We had our biggest year yet and our fastest year yet as well. We couldn't have done it without you as athletes getting prizes and sponsors, and you parents for helping. We have the best kids and parents out there!! So a big thanks to everyone involved.

We have another big week coming up so pay attention to the dates and times as we are going to do a few heat training days this week. I understand some of you have work still so change it if you can but if not, get your run in on your own and try to get the afternoons off because this will be the last week with a few morning practices. We will be afternoon to prepare for the season.

Our team time trial night is Monday night and we will meet at 8:00 PM. We will gather together on the West bleachers (socially distant of course) and invite your families to come with masks if they would like to. We will go over a few things and announce our team captains for the year and then send the kids to warm up for the time trial. The time trial will be a 2 mile race on the track.
