Congrats to both our boys and girls this past week at State. Both our boys and girls did better than they were projected. On the girl side, they were projected to take 7th and ended up finishing only 8.5 points away from a 2nd place trophy and 1 away from 3rd, finishing 4th. The boys were projected to take 3rd and ran extremely well as a group to upset the #1 ranked Timberwolves from Timpanogos and become back to back 5A state champions. We are so proud of everyone on our team this year from our top Varsity kids down to our JV team. Everyone on the team helped contribute to the success of both our boys and girls. Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You are the best of the best!!! 2020 State XC Meet Results
To clarify a few things that happened last week with Covid, here is the situation. The school is still on closure for this week and because our State competition is over we cannot practice as a group. We will also not be able to host the Hoka meet on Friday. We can resume practices once we come back from the soft closure. So until that happens, we will be posting workouts through the GroupMe chat so look for those workouts to come on Tuesday and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday will all be recovery days. You are welcome to run on your own or gather in small groups to do the runs and workouts.
This Saturday, Viewmont high is hosting a Trick or Trot 5k race to support Viewmont Cross Country. If you are able we would like you to race at this 5k as a way to get in a race before next Saturday in Spanish Fork. We will use the race this weekend to help make a decision on our varsity team for the qualifier on the 7th. You can sign up for the race via Runnercard here: 2020 Trick or Trot 5k
For those who haven't signed up for the Utah Qualifier on November 7th in Spanish Fork, please do so sooner than later as you risk the meet reaching full capacity and you won't be able to enter. 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.
Mileage:
JV Stay the same as you did last week (should be 90%)
Varsity, increase by 10% from last week.
