Copper Hills Invitational Results

Our varsity boys had a good meet with Peter (3rd) and Braden (9th) finishing in the medals and the team placing 3rd to bring home a trophy

The course was really slow, so we really didn't have any PRs out of this meet. Don't forget we will meet at 2:30 in my classroom before practice.

Cross country is....

I found this poem playing on the internet today.  I think it sums up this sport pretty well.

Wahsatch Rendezvous Information

This meet has a unique format for the varsity races as well as an open race for coaches and family members.  The cost of the open race is $10. If you have 3 or more members from your family running, it is $5 each. The meet is at the Cottonwood Complex 4300 S. 1300 E.

This meet features a girls’ JV race and a boys’ JV race beginning at 9:00 a.m. Starting at 10:10 a.m. the boys will lead off a series of 14 varsity races (Seven races for boys and seven races for girls). All number seven team runners will race one another, and then the number six team runners will race each other, etc. The girls’ team races will leave the starting line two minutes after the boys’ team races. We will again offer the classic Wahsatch Rendezvous T-shirts for $15. Please tell your runners in advance about the t-shirt sale.

Scoring The team score will be computed by totaling the finish places of all seven runners. A perfect score would be 7, with one team of runners winning all 7 races. In the event of a tie, the place will be determined by calculating the team’s total time. If a team cannot field 7 runners for the meet, the team will not qualify for 1st and 2nd place trophy awards.

Awards The top five runners in each varsity race will receive a medal, thereby allowing athletes who don’t often medal to be recognized. Additionally, the winner of each race will receive a t-shirt with CHAMPION on the back. The top fifteen junior varsity finishers will receive medals. Those runners placing sixteen through thirty will receive ribbons. Team trophies will be awarded to the top two girls’ and boys’ teams.

Labor Day Weekend workout schedule

We will have practice on Saturday and Monday mornings during the weekend.

Saturday we will meet at 8:00 am at the Wrangler Trailhead to run Dimple Dell.

Monday we will be running City Creek canyon.  Either meet at Hillcrest at 6:30 am or at the NE corner of the capital at 7:00 am.  This is the same place we met for the HARC week time trial.  If you can help with rides to the capital let me know.

USU Aggie Invitational Information

The Aggie Invitational is on the Reeder XC course on the USU campus.  This is a very spectator friendly course with no hills or trees to block the view.  You will be able to see most of the course from the start area.  This is a spikes course.  The entire course is either grass or packed dirt.

Parking will be just east of the course on 1400 N.  If the bus parking lot is full, there is additional parking at USU athletic facilities. If you are driving up to the meet, avoid the nightmare that is Logan Main St. by taking 10th W to 1400N.  There is a convenience store on the corner you need to take for 10th W.  Google Map directions are on the parking link.

Highland Inviational

The Highland Invitational is at Sugarhouse Park.  Most of the course is grass, spikes are recommended. The race is a good preview of the state meet as the first two miles will be nearly identical.  The course is spectator friendly with several view areas, some of which you can see multiple parts of the course.  I will have a camera there taking pictures, but I would love to add photos from different parts of the course, especially the finish area.

Schedule:
Frosh.Soph Boys - 4:00 pm
Frosh/Soph Girls - 4:25 pm
Junior Varsity Boys - 4:50 pm
Junior Varsity Girls - 5:15 pm
Varsity Boys - 5:45 pm
Varsity Girls 6:10 pm
Awards Ceremony 6:30 pm


There will be some parking available in the park, with overflow parking at Highland High School or the shopping areas across the street.
