Murray Invite Results & "old man's b-day"

Golden Eagles --


Friday was such a fun race day! Our TEAM participated in the Murray Invite. This was the premier invite so far this year in Utah. There were over 2000 athletes from 47 teams in Utah and some from Colorado and Wyoming as well. The competition was great and the 3.0 mile course that was a little of everything (over the river, through the woods, up the hills, around the rugby field, through the woods again, and over the river again, up the hill again, and sprint on the soccer field) was what our TEAM needed. Our Girls TEAM finished 12th overall and our boys TEAM finished 8th overall. This meet provided some of the fastest times so far this season. Full meet results can be found here:

Most of us can see that your training and practice is starting to paying off. Yet with 3 meets till Region and 4 till state we need to stay focused on our personal and TEAM goals this week in practice. Keep reminding each other to "hold the rope!!!" This will help our TEAM as we rise above!

P.S. This "old man" wishes to say Thank You to all of you for the birthday wishes. Our sidewalk, driveway, street, back porch, and neighbors drive way has never seen so much chalk from so many people. I had no idea that there was so many "inside jokes/ phrases" from just this season. Thanks and to all of the midnight texters...payback will come to you but "Don't worry about it!"
