Forth item of note: we wanted to give congratulations to  Brynn Heckel on being the overall female winner of the Mapleton 5k on Saturday. Congrats also goes out to Shantel, Rebecca, and Bria who all finished in the top 7 of this same race. Congrats goes to Lance Merrell and Jonah Hadlock for finishing 3rd and 4th overall in the Mapleton 5k also congrats to Casey, Nate, Jordan, and Esther for all improving on their 5k times. Congrats to Spencer Hanson for his 3rd overall finish in the Speedy Spaniard 10k and to all of our athletes that ran in this race. (Kevin, Nate, Eddie, Garrett, Ashley, Brette, Rachel, Lauren, and Amberlee) We as Coaches want to thank all of you who ran over the weekend in one of the two races. We are very pleased with where you are at during this point of the summer. With only a month to go until our first meet (Pre-region) it was great to see so many of you racing and running well. Keep up the hard work and continue to "Rise Above".

A final note; thanks to everyone who came last Thursday night for the Utah Lake trail TEAM run. Thanks for the songs along the trail, and I hope those king kong cones were worth it for all of you who took the challenge and ran in the river. That was money well spent. Hope you all enjoyed the run and the dip if you took it.
Thanks and Happy Running!!!
