Pre-Region Results and Team Gear

PRE-REGION RESULTS

Last night we competed in the first meet of our 2014 Cross Country Season, and it was a great start for our team! We competed against our Region VIII competitors at Provo's Kiwanis Park. Our girls finished in 3rd place overall, led by McKenzie Cowden, Haley Johnston, Kailey Ritchie, Katie Grass and Amber Edmondson as our scoring Varsity runners. The boys finished 2nd place overall, led by RJ Lundberg, Chayden Zeeman, Ramato Cooper, Nathan Chesnut and Devin Minson as our scorers for the team. It was a solid start for both teams, and we look forward to moving forward from here! You can find the complete results HERE.
