Athletes-
Well, we've worked all summer for the season, and here we are two meets in already. We've had a very good first week as we've hosted the Pre-Region meet and traveled to American Fork for the Grass Relays. As a coaching staff, we are excited about what we've seen so far, and are encouraged by where we see our potential by the end of the season.
Pre-Region
We had the opportunity to host the Pre-region meet on Tuesday for the first meet of our season. As defending Region VIII Champions, we showed well considering this was your first race ever for many of you. On the guys side, the Skyhawks finished 3rd with 49 points behind Springville (43) and Maple Mountain (46). Great job to everyone who ran, especially to Tyler Gebert who finished 2nd overall and ran a course PR by one minute. Gebert was followed by Alex Minson, Taylor Thorpe, Jordan Daniels and Blake Adams in our top 5.
In the girls' race, Cosette Stone finished first overall by about a minute. Great Job! Cosette was followed by Kaetlin Bracken, Becca Jones, Diana Moreva and Mickenna Belliston as scoring runners. Great job to you five and all the rest as well. This was a great starting point to head into the rest of the season.

Grass Relays
On Saturday we traveled to the American Fork Grass Relays, one of the more unique cross country races we participate in. As coaches we love this meet--despite how much running we have to do back and forth to cheer you all on (I think we ran more than YOU GUYS did...)
Anyway, Saturday was a beautiful day for the relays, and we had some great performances from most everyone on the team. Great job to each of you! I have yet to hear a tally on how many of you tasted hay during the race, but I know of at least one of you...mmmm!
Our varsity teams did very well as usual, as our girls took 7th place out of 27 teams at the meet, and our guys finished 16th out of 31 teams. Great job especially to Cosette Stone who was recognized for finishing in the top 15 overall for Varsity Girls.
On paper we are definitely making some great strides toward accomplishing our season and individual goals. Keep up the hard work as we head into week 2 of the season. This week we have another home meet on Tuesday afternoon and then we're off to BYU on Saturday for their Autumn Classic.
