Tuesday, September 9th, we hosted our first home meet at Salem Hills High School. Spanish Fork, Payson and Juab all joined us for a great day of cross country racing. The weather was great for racing--overcast with a light rain off and on. It made for some great competition.
In the girls' race, Salem Hills exceeded all expectations with their great performance, led by freshman newcomer Margo Brockbank, who finished the 3.0 mile course in 19:53, outdistancing Spanish Fork's Bethany Carson over the last 400 meters to finish 22 seconds ahead. After Margo came a wave of Salem Hills' girls including: Cassidy Dascomb (3rd), Cosette Stone(4th), Kaetlin Bracken(5th), Karlee Loss(8th) and Jessica Hoffman(9th) all in the top 10. Nice job girls.
In the boys' race, Salem Hills got into a dogfight with Spanish Fork that ended in a 3 point loss. The boys did a great job fighting and clawing back into the race after a slow start, but came up just short this time. Congratulations boys on a great race! The Skyhawks were led by senior Justin Sly, who out-sprinted two Dons to finish 1st overall with a time of 16:56. He was joined by Tucker Pinder (4th) and Tyler Gebert (5th) in the top five. Tannen Fawcett (11th) and Jordan Daniels (12th) rounded out our scoring Varsity. Great job 'Hawks!
