September 28th - October 3rd - REGION

 Awesome job again to everyone Friday night at our invite in AF. If you haven't seen official results those are posted here: Twiknight 2020 Results. Our Girls JV took 6th, JV Boys took 1st, Varsity Girls took 3rd, Varsity boys took 2nd. That was a really competitive meet. Some of the best teams in the state were there and we performed really well. And again, thanks for not only racing well but for being great people as well. Thanks for wearing your masks!

This week we have our region championships on Friday at the Weber County Fairgrounds. For most of you, this will be the last race of the regular season. With our post season plans so up in the air, this might be your last race so let's make sure we do all the little things this week to take care of ourselves to do the best we can. 

We will also be doing a "Team Dinner" on Thursday right after practice just at the school. That way we can keep our distance from one another and still eat together as a team. We don't really have things set yet but we have had lots of requests from parents to help out so if you are interested in helping out, please sign up on this link here. 2020 Region Team Dinner Sign-Up. Marcia Mitchell will help organize assignments. Thank you!

Great job to everyone at the Davis District Championships this past Wednesday. Everyone represented Farmington well with the way you performed and you represented Farmington well with the way you cheered for your teammates and other competitors. Thank you for being great kids and a much better job with your mask wearing so thank you for that. Results can be found here: Davis District Championships 2020

We only have a few weeks left the season for most of you so let's make sure we are taking care of ourselves the best we can. Sleep, hydration, nutrition, stretching, rolling out etc. We also need to be SO SO careful with everything we do and who we are around. We have made it this far but with the influx in Covid cases the past week we need to keep doing our part to continue having our season and being safe. Thank you for all of your efforts! 

This week we have decided to forgo the Wednesday dual meet at Box Elder as we now are racing Friday night down in American Fork at the Art Dye Park. There will be 4 races, JV races and Varsity races (Top 10). This will be our last meet before we go to the Weber County Fairgrounds on the 2nd of October for Region so let's get after it this week.

 Great job to everyone who participated at the Soldier Hollow meet on Saturday. It was a tough course but you all did a great job getting after it. Out of the 64 teams that participated there in the 4 different sections over the two days our varsity girls were 6th and our varsity boys were 4th. Great job to everyone. Results can be found here or on the schedule/results page: 2020 Wasatch Invite

Thank you for wearing masks at practice and at the meets. I know it's a pain but it's how we are continuing to have a season. As a reminder for when we are at meets, you do not need to wear it when warming up and cooling down but if you are cooling down and cheering, when you stop a cheer and stand around, you need to put that mask back on. Perhaps you should take your mask with you when cooling down.

This week we have the Davis District Championships on Wednesday at Layton park. I haven't seen anything about prohibiting spectators so if parents want to come just make sure they are wearing a mask. See below for details on race times. Unfortunately this year there will not be an alumni/parents/friends race.

Please make sure you are at practice everyday, even if you are injured you should still be there. You are still on the team so please come for Core and announcements then you can go and cross train as directed by one of the coaches. For a lot of you we only have 3 weeks left of the season. Please make sure you are giving it your all and you are taking care of yourself.

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

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.
