Hopefully everyone had a fun and safe fall break weekend. This week on Thursday is the state championships at Soldier Hollow. They still haven't come out with exact numbers on tickets but from the word going around it sounds like every athlete who is racing, they will get 2 tickets to give to whoever. Those tickets will need to be purchased (for free) online through the UHSAA ticket portal. Again there is still no official word so tickets are not available yet but as soon as I get word I will let you know. Unfortunately it sounds like we will not be able to have any additional team members attend except for those competing and the alternates.
We are still planning on our team banquet November 5th at 6:00 PM at the high school commons. This will be for athletes only (sorry parents and family). So we can have a head count, if you are planning on attending that banquet will you please go and fill this form out? 2020 Farmington XC Banquet. Thank you. Also if you have any pictures from the season you have not yet put up on the photo album please do so here: Farmington XC 2020 Photo Album.
We finally have some specifics on post season races. First we are planning on hosting a Hoka Postal Nationals meet on Friday October 30th at FHS. We are throwing this together this week so more details to come but it will be at the FHS track. There will also be a Utah qualifier on November 7th down in Spanish Fork. This will be for anyone who would like to race. You will need to register yourself and find your own ride down there. The address to the race is 295 Volunteer Drive Spanish Fork, Utah. Races start at 9:30 AM and go until 2:00 PM. More info on this race and the link to register can be found here: 2020 Border Wars - Utah Qualifier. After this race the top 15 teams in the varsity races will go on to represent Utah in the Border Wars against the top 15 Colorado schools in St. George on November 21st. This will be a varsity only race and there will not be any JV races so this Utah qualifier on the 7th is the last and only post season race for JV.
