Make sure you send your weekly mileage totals to hillcrestxc@gmail.com.  So far only about 6 of you have sent your mileage in.  I would like to your weekly mileage broken down by day rather than just weekly total, for example my week would have looked like:
Monday 4.67 miles 86th (includes yo-yo running) no evening run
Tuesday 5.31 miles tennis courts no evening run
Wednesday 5.53 miles North Rim Trail no evening run
Thursday 4.43 miles Cemetery Run no evening run
Friday 7.37 miles Jordan River Trail (70 minute run)
Saturday 5.45  miles recovery run neighbor hood loop
Total 32.8 miles


Remember to get the mileage shirt you need to average 36.4 miles for the eleven week tracking period.  My mileage was just short of  the Varsity girls/JV boys mileage plan. With just one or two evening runs, I would be easily on track to get the shirt.

There is a chance of weather delays with possible thunderstorms.

Davis Invitational Information

The Davis Invitational is held at Davis High in Kaysville.  This meet has a unique format with basically two meets, the open heats in the morning and the invited heats in the afternoon.

Spectator admission will be $3.
