REGION CHAMPIONS!!!!

We traveled to Juan Diego HS on Wednesday, October 15th for the Region VIII Championships. Based on the results from the Pre-Region meet the week before (click HERE for results), we thought our boys and girls would be right in the mix for both trophies. The boys team came out first and set the tone for the day by placing our top six boys in the top 10. Justin Sly out sprinted North Sanpete's #1 runner to claim the individual Region championship. Great Job Justin! He was followed close behind by Tucker Pinder in 4th, Tyler Gebert in 6th, Seth Muhlestein in 7th, Jordan Daniels in 9th and Tannen Fawcett in 10th. Way to go guys!!!

After the boys finished their race, it was the girls' turn to try to pull off the upset in their race. On paper, North Sanpete's girls team was the favorite, with their varsity team having beaten us the week before. However, our girls came out ready to fight for every point, and it paid off. Salem Hills' girls' team beat North Sanpete by a mere 3 points! It was an absolute team effort, as it came down to our 6th runner (Karlee Loss) beating out their 4th and 5th runners. Congratulations to Cosette Stone (3rd overall), Megan Curtis (6th), Jessica Hoffman (7th), Kaetlin Bracken (8th) and Mickenna Belliston (10th) for placing in the top 10.

Complete results are HERE.
