State Results

Both our boys and girls teams were quite a bit faster than last year at state, the girls about 2:20 faster and the boys 4:00.  That is encouraging and shows the work we have put in.  However, if you look at our placing, it shows how fast the state has gotten, so we need to get better.  We bring a lot of kids back for next year, but so do our main competitors in the region.  If we keep improving at this rate, it will make a big difference next year. Complete results are up on runnercard including an all classifications merge.

Banquet Info

Our banquet will be October 27th at 6 pm in AT 200 her at Hillcrest.  We need a count of how many athletes and parents will be attending so we can make sure we have enough food.  We ask that $5 be paid to the main office for each person other than athletes.

I will need a count by Friday so we can plan adequately.

Footlocker Info

OPTION 1 (Thursday – Sunday)

(This is the traditional trip that we have been doing for many years)

Foot Locker Western U.S. Regional Cross Country Championships

Walnut, California December 3 - December 6, 2015

            This is the regional cross-country meet for the western United States.  It is an exciting meet that allows the student/athlete to not only compete for their high school, but also for the State of Utah.  They have grade division races as well as an elite race for both boys and girls.  The top eight finishers in the elite races qualify for an all expense paid trip to the National Cross Country Championships in San Diego, California on December 12th

            Competing in this Regional meet gives our athletes National exposure, which in turn opens more doors for them at the collegiate level.  It also builds confidence in the athletes as they compete at this higher level of competition against athletes from the other western states.

Chaperones: Coaches and Parents to the extent that we have one chaperon to about every 8 athletes.

Cost to the Athlete/Student: entrance fee??? (Go on line) + $290 for transportation & hotels + optional $68 Disneyland Twilight pass one park or $111 1 day Park Hopper+ Food money for 4-dinners, 4-lunches and snacks.

State Meet Info

State will be held at Sugarhouse Park. I have the directions link for the driver's ed range south of Highland.

Parking

Parking in Sugarhouse Park is limited, will be crowded and is discouraged. With races being run throughout the day, vehicle access to the park and leaving the park will be slow. Parking for both buses and spectators will be available in the Highland High School driving range located just south of the school and adjacent to the stadium where all races finish. Use of this lot is strongly encouraged. The lot is accessed from 17th East. Only meet administration will be allowed in the lot immediately west of the starting line.

There is additional parking in the shopping center across 13th East from the park.  Be careful crossing the street if you park there.

Schedule

Races will be run consecutively in the following order. Times listed are approximate:
1A Girls...11:00 am                4A Girls...1:30 pm
2A Girls...11:30 am                5A Girls...2:00 pm

The bus will leave Hillcrest at 11:30 am.

Friday Practice

Friday's practice will be a hill run up City Creek Canyon.  We will meet at the NE corner of the capital grounds (our usual spot) at 8am.  We will also be meeting at Hillcrest at 7:30 if you need a ride.

Saturday Practice 10/10

Tomorrow's practice is at 8 am at the 78th S trailhead on the Jordan River Parkway.  It is across the street and TRAX line from Gardner Village.  Despite what the map shows, you can make a left handed turn into the lot.
