Week Two Highlights

Meet #3 and #4 of the season have now come and gone with incredible improvement by many on our team. Great Job to all of you who have PR'ed this week in our two meets.

Spanish Fork, Payson @ SALEM HILLS

On Tuesday we hosted Region VIII rivals Spanish Fork and Maple Mountain at our course. What a great day for a race! The girls started it off for us with a near-perfect score of 20 points, despite missing Cosette (sick), Diana (quadriceps) and Karlee (stress fracture). Becca Jones won the meet, followed by Kaetlin Bracken (2nd), Ally Duffin (3rd), Mickenna Belliston (4th) and Jerrika Durfey (7th). Additionally, J-Durf was our ATHLETE OF THE MEET for cutting 3:30 off her previous best time!

On the Boys' side of things, they did very well also, despite the fact they were required to stay together as a team for the first 2.75 miles! The boys team finished with all 7 varsity runners finishing in the top 8. Nice job Tyler Gebert (2nd), Jordan Daniels (3rd), Kyle Adams (4th), Nathan Peck (5th), Taylor Adams (6th), Alex Minson (7th) and Blake Adams (8th). The Boys ATHLETE OF THE MEET went to Steven Stout for cutting 1:17 off his time on the course from last week. Congrats to everyone who improved!

HERE'S the results

BYU Autumn Classic

On Saturday we traveled to the BYU Track Complex for the Autumn Classic, one of the bigger meets of the season. We had several exceptional times posted from this meet from both Varsity and JV runners. That's exactly what we're looking for each meet--constant improvement. In fact, that's one of my favorite things about this sport--that you are only working against yourself each week to try to improve and get better. It doesn't matter if you are first or last runner done--all that matters is that you are working to improve yourself. Keep up the GREAT WORK!! The complete results are found HERE.


This week we will be traveling to Maple Mountain HS on Wednesday to race MMHS as well as Westlake High. Bus will leave at 2:45 pm from the school and will be back by about 5:45 or so. Also, on Saturday we will be traveling to Soldier Hollow for the Wasatch Invitational. Last year, this was one of the highlights of our inaugural season, as we discovered that Salem Hills LOVES HILLS!!! Begin preparing now for this great course!
