Westlake Grass Relays
The Grass Relays is a fun meet with an unusual format and unique course. The course consists of a fairly flat one mile loop with hay bales to jump over at four points on the loop. This course is fairly spectator friendly. The race is only 2 miles and the varsity races are run as a relay.
The meet is as Westlake High in Saratoga Springs. Parking is usually east of the school, but follow directions as they usually have it marked. The course is on the fields west of the school. We will have our canopy, so our camp should be easy to find.
Schedule
6:15 am meet at Hillcrest for the bus to the meet

Pre-Region Results
That was an interesting afternoon. I have the results uploaded at athletic.net, but I don't have many of the boys, because of the confusion at the finish chute with the downpour and the lightning. Only about 25 tags got pulled out of just over 60 boys. If you have a time, let me know and I can add the results in. I do have 64 times, so I should be able to match it up if you have one or know who you finished right behind.
With the times we did get, we had a few athletes run faster times than on the same course last year at region.
On another note, there has been a slight change in district policy regarding the transport of athletes to and from meets. If you need to take your athlete home from the meet, an assumption of risk form has to be filled out before you take them. Previously, we were able to release kids to parents without any paperwork, but that has changed. If there is a reason you will need to transport them to the meet rather than having them go on the bus, that paperwork needs to be filled out in advance and I will need to have it in my possession before we go to the meet. I will have those forms at my desk so they can be picked up during the day.
Remember we meet at 2:30 Thursday to debrief the race and talk about Saturday.

Highland Invitational Results and Thoughts
This meet had some very challenging conditions with the heat. For the most part, we handled it pretty well. Fortunately, none of our kids were among the ones transported to the hospital. We will have to deal with heat periodically the rest of the season, so hydration during the day is crucial moving forward.
We had a number of PRs, but this meet shows how tough Utah XC is.
Complete meet results are on runnercard. As always, results and progress from the entire season can be found on athletic.net.

Meet results are on athletic.net. Milesplit Utah also has results with all varsity results combined. They also have hundreds of photos as well as race videos on their site. Congrats to Caylor, Anthony, Francisco, Sophia, and Megan for earning medals.

Premier Invitational Info
The Premier Invitational will be held on Saturday August 10th at the Cottonwood Softball Complex at 44th S and 13th E. This is usually a fairly small meet that is good to start the season with. The start and finish are are NW of the softball fields. That is the best place to view the course if you don't want to run from spot to spot. Our team will be easy to spot in our somewhat distinctive singlets.
The best parking lot is on the north end of the park, but there are two other parking lots if they fill up.
We can make allowances in advance for special circumstances, but we expect the team to ride to and from the meet on the bus.
Schedule:
6:30 am meet at Hillcrest to catch the bus
8:00 Varsity boys
8:45 Varsity girls
9:30 JV boys
10:15 JV girls
Hopefully they will move some of the start times up, it shouldn't take 45 minutes for varsity athletes to complete this fast 3 mile course.
Awards:
Top two teams in each classification get trophies.
Top seven finishers in varsity receive a medal and a shirt.
Top ten finishers in JV receive a medal.
