Nike Team Regionals
Darts,
We are back from an incredible trip to Phoenix for the Nike Team Regionals race against the best teams from Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming. Although we will miss the traditional trip to Footlocker, this was still a fun and productive trip. One thing is for sure, our TEAM knows how to have fun and how to race fast. I was impressed by all of the PRs and by the way that our kids handled themselves on the trip. I only had to yell at them a few times. (Thanks to the bus driver for doing some yelling for me).
It felt to me like we were on the bus for a long amount of time over the last 4 days, but I definitely feel it was worth it. The highlight of the meet was the girls taking 2nd in the championship race (all 6 that finished had prs) and qualifying for the Nike Team Nationals which will be in Portland on Dec 1st. We will be traveling up to Portland, sponsored by Nike, to take on the best competition in the U.S. (22 teams qualify). For more information about the race you can go to http://dyestat.com//?pg=nikentn
All of the hard work has paid off, and this will be a wonderful opportunity for our top 8 girls to represent the Davis XC Program.
A huge thanks goes out to the parents that were able to come on the bus (Steve Petty, Dave King, Allison Stromberg, and Tammi Prince) and those parents that flew or drove down to support the team - we really had some tremendous support. Also thanks to Coach Buhrley and Brad Anderson for their help and support on the trip. It was great to have Coach Buhrley and a few of the Syracuse Titans along with us.

Coming up:
- The boys are going to begin our break (the next 2 weeks will have limited running).
- The girls traveling to Portland will continue to train for the next 2 weeks. The rest of the girls team will have 2 options - continue to train with those running in Portland and then take a break the 1st 2 weeks of December, or begin the break at this point.
- During the break or rest period you should still remain active, but your bodies need an opportunity to recover after the long season. Enjoy Thanksgiving, get a lot of rest, think very little about running, and be ready to feel refreshed and ready once indoor track comes along. Plan on still getting some decent training in December and January (the "off-season" is a great time to re-build your base, and start to get ready for track).
- The indoor track meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 11th.
Thanks so much for making the trip memorable and for allowing me to share in the experience with you all. This year has been incredible because you have all put so much heart into running and more importantly into being part of this TEAM. Each one of you add to the greatness we possess as a whole. The girls qualifying for nationals represents more than just those 8 girls. It represents the sacrifice and dedication and togetherness of you all. Thanks to each of you for the parts you played in making this season so successful,

State Championships
Darts,
Yesterday was such an incredible day-one we will celebrate and remember for a long time. I thought we had such a great TEAM effort in pulling off both of the wins. Not just in the people who ran, but also in the incredible support and cheering from all members of the team (and alumni and parents).
The girls competed like they have all year long. We knew we were strong and deep and we led from the gun. I thought we ran really close to our plan, and we pushed hard on the important points of the course. It was amazing to bring home the first ever Davis girls state cross country championship, but what is even more impressive are the hours of hard work, team work, and sacrifice that it took to get to this point. The girls ran the 4th fastest team time in the 10 year history of the course (from any division) and the fastest team time since 2000.

Natalie stayed patient throughout the entire race. She ran a lot of it with a smile on her face. When I saw her on the back side of the course (before the 2 mile mark) I yelled to stay patient - she was running right behind Shayla and they had pulled a way from the rest of the group. Natalie gave me a smile, and then she growled (weird, I know, but that is her style). I knew she was determined to finish strong. When it came down to the last ½ mile she was probably 5 seconds behind last year's state champion (Shayla Kipp from Skyline) but Natalie somehow dug deep and found some kind of monster kick on the track to capture the first ever Davis individual state championship (for either a boy or a girl). Natalie's time was the 14th fastest ever run on the course. The pictures in all 3 newspapers perfectly capture Natalie's excitement. She really deserved the title.
Candace had a rough day with her asthma in the cold, but stayed positive and tough for the TEAM. Although she had some tears after the race, a lot of them were out of joy for her teammates (especially Natalie for getting what she has worked so hard for). Candace was able to look accross the track and see Natalie fighting for 1st place. The 2 of them have done so much for each other that they really can share in each other's successes. They are the strongest 1-2 punch in the state (and have been for the past 3 years).
Emily knew coming into the race she would have a shot at top 10, but she would have to have one of her best races. She did just that. She went out aggressive and held her position. A great feat for her to be all-state as a sophomore. She has really stepped it up in the absence of Katie. Emily's time of 19:18 makes her the 5th fastest Davis girl to ever run the course (Natalie and Candace are 1-2).
Loren stayed tough throughout the entire race and really moved up in the final mile to finish 17th. It is amazing how far she has come in her first year of being a distance runner. She stayed really positive throughout the race.
Meghan has amazed us all with her ability and drive this season. She found Loren about 1 mile into the race and stuck right with her. The two of them worked their way up from about 35th to 20th. Watching Meghan finish the race you could tell that she had left it all on the course - what a gutsy race from a young runner. We could be pretty dang good again next year.
Hollie and Kelsey have improved their times at state every year (Hollie for 3 years and Kelsey for 4). They provided us with experience and leadership and consistency. We counted their places at about 1/2 way through the race. They both moved up about 20 places in the 2nd half. Only 1 team finished with their #5 runner in front of Hollie and Kelsey.
The boys race was simply incredible. I told one reporter that it is rare to have a full TEAM (all 7) put together solid races all on the same day, but that is what we needed. We knew it would be a close race with American Fork, Alta, Skyline, and Bingham. I am not sure what was said on the starting line (I was up at the finish line with the girls), but whatever was said, the TEAM definitely looked focused and confident and were really into the race when I saw them after the first 1/2 mile. At 2 miles we were still a little behind AF, but looking like we had a good shot if we could stay strong in the final mile. Bryce, Jason, and Jordan each passed 7 or 8 guys in the last kilometer, and Seth and Spencer held their positions in the top 10. Other teams around them started to fade. By the time they were all through the finish chute we knew we had won, and the celebration began there at the finish line. It was a pretty thrilling experience.

I have to talk about Seth and Spencer in the same paragraph. The two of them have run and trained together over the past 2 cross country seasons. They have been consistent and have led the team in more ways than just their running. Neither of them are ever satisfied-they both have a drive to improve and be the best. For them both to finish in the top 7 was huge for us in this race.
Bryce was the stud of the day. He ran a patient smart race, and really came on the final mile. He was a little more conservative over the first 1/2 of the race, but came on like crazy-especially in the final mile. He did just what we needed him to do, and beat every other team's 3rd runners.
Jason and Jordan finished higher than any other team's 4th runner. They ran together through a lot of the race. The last time I saw them (with about 600 to go) I could tell they were both going to finish strong and that we were close to winning it. I think the people around me thought I was crazy, but I kept yelling "We're going to win! We're going to win!" to Jordan and Jason.
Michael and Carston stepped up at the end of the season and earned their spots at state. They did their job well as only 3 teams had their #5 in front of our 6 & 7. Both of them ran like experienced runners even though this was the first big varsity race for either of them. We are looking strong for next year with 5 of our top 8 runners returning.
Once again, a special thanks to all parents and supporters of the TEAM. You have helped to make this season fun, memorable, and successful. We couldn't have accomplished this state championship without your help.
As Hollie put it today: "Life goes on after a state championship". We will savor the moment and the victories, but we also have many great things to look forward to.
Coming Up:
Team Pictures - Monday, Oct 22nd at 3:00 pm
Team Banquet - TBA - tentatively Nov 1st or Nov 8th.

I think the people around me thought I was crazy, but I kept yelling "We're going to win! We're going to win!" to Jordan and Jason.
Michael and Carston stepped up at the end of the season and earned their spots at state. They did their job well as only 3 teams had their #5 in front of our 6 & 7. Both of them ran like experienced runners even though this was the first big varsity race for either of them. We are looking strong for next year with 5 of our top 8 runners returning.
Once again, a special thanks to all parents and supporters of the TEAM. You have helped to make this season fun, memorable, and successful. We couldn't have accomplished this state championship without your help.
As Hollie put it today: "Life goes on after a state championship". We will savor the moment and the victories, but we also have many great things to look forward to.

REGION CHAMPIONS!
Darts -
I just wanted to thank each of you and many of your parents for making the Region Championships such a success for our TEAM. Thanks to the parents for the support and for the goodies at the races. I thought we did an outstanding job in each of the 4 races. I was pleased with your enthusiasm, your unity, and your individual efforts. You can see full results at www.runnercard.com (Region 1), and pictures at davisxcpics.blogspot.com
The JV girls ended their perfect season (8 straight wins) with a perfect score (15). Our depth has been one of our greatest strengths this year, and it really showed in this race. Brittany pulled away in the second half of the race to get the win. It was a team record for the most Davis girls under 22:00 (14) and under 23:00 (19). I was really proud of the seniors in their last cross country race. Good job Ally, Morgan, and Erica.

The varsity girls continued to dominate. Natalie and Candace ran together through the entire race to finish where they did last year (1-2). It was a demonstration of teamwork and unselfishness as they worked together and finished together. These 2 have been great leaders for our TEAM over the past 3 years, and it is going to be tough without Natalie. Emily finished with the #6 time ever run by a sophomore, and Meghan’s time was the #4 time ever run by a freshman. Our 3 “white shirts” all had great races, led by Julianne’s 19:36, showing she is back to form after the injury. We are definitely ready for the state meet this Wednesday.

We ran smart and finished strong in the boys JV race to come out on top. Colin and Caleb led the team with top 3 finishes. Logan and Garrett fought hard through the race to finish in the top 10. And Jake and Cody came on strong over the last ½ of the race to finish 10th and 12th. With all but Jake coming back next year, we have a solid foundation for the TEAM. Congrats to all the seniors in the race - Jake, Dan, Ryan, and Josh.

The varsity boys finished off the day with their 12th straight region title. The most impressive thing about this race was the finish of our 3 through 7 guys being so close together. They have developed a solid pack over the last few races. Spencer and Seth ran side by side helping each other out on their way to a 2-3 finish. If we put together a solid race this next week, we will be in the hunt for a trophy.

5. Nike TEAM Regionals: November 17th in Tempe, AZ. In the place of the Footlocker trip, the TEAM has been invited to compete in the Nike Regional Meet with a chance to qualify for the National Championships (in Portland on Dec. 1st). The cost of the trip will be about $200 (some of which could be offset through the fundraiser). I would like as many members of the TEAM to come as possible. We could make this as fun and memorable as the Footlocker trip, with more of an emphasis on the TEAM’s performance. I will be sending more information home with the athletes asap.

As we go into this final race of the season, remember that no matter what happens, you are champions. You have sacrificed and worked hard to get to where you are. You have been committed to each other and to achieving greatness together. Our objective is simple: to run the best we can. Let’s go away from the state meet satisfied that we gave our all. Also remember that so much of the joy we should experience at the end of a season comes from the journey. I think we have learned a lot on the way. We have had our struggles and our challenges, but they have made us better and we have overcome them, and for a small moment of your lives (15 to 20 minutes) on Wednesday, we are going to shine.
Thanks for all you have done,

Orem Invitational
Darts,
I can’t believe we have just over 2 weeks left in the season. We have worked hard all summer long and all season long to get to this point–right now. I was very pleased with the energy level and the passion that we brought to the races and workouts this week. We ran well as a team on Wednesday at the open region meet (www.darttrack.blogspot.com for results), and we came back and had some great races at the Orem Invitational on Saturday (www.runnercard.com for full results). We have just 2 races to go: Region and State. We need to come together as a TEAM more now than we have all season long.

Although bringing home 4 trophies in 4 races was impressive, there were many other reasons that I was proud to be the Davis coach on Saturday:
I was impressed with Natalie’s race. Her hip flexor and quad have been hurting all week. We weren’t sure if she was going to race. She limped a little through the warm-up, so I was leaning toward not letting her run, but Natalie was in the competitive mode and was thinking she wanted to race. By the time we were at the starting line, we still hadn’t decided what to do. About 2 minutes before the race, Natalie said she wanted to run. I told her to be careful, and even to stop if the pain got worse, so I wasn’t surprised that she started the race more conservatively. I was a little surprised that she made such a bold move into the lead a little over ½ way through the race and started gapping the rest of the field. I thought she ran with a lot of toughness–it wasn’t until the last 50 meters that Hailey caught her.
I thought all of the varsity girls stepped up their efforts without Katie in the race with them, but Kelsey in particular put together a really awesome performance. Before they went up to the ponds on the second lap of the race (just over a mile to go), I noticed Kelsey had put in a big move and was running right behind Loren. After I cheered for Loren and then saw Kelsey right behind her, I got so excited that my voice cracked when I yelled for Kelsey. I am not sure if Kelsey could understand what I was yelling. Her hard work and determination and dedication to the TEAM were all evident in the race on Saturday.
The JV girls also ran a gutsy race. We were missing 3 of our top JV girls. Meghan, because she was in the varsity race, Megan Waddoups, because of an injury, and Ashley Ballard-Sume because of band. So it was going to be a big challenge for the JV girls to continue their undefeated season. I thought Julianne ran very tough, fighting for the lead throughout the entire race. She has really stepped it up, despite running with a lot of pain in her leg. Talya also came through for the TEAM. She woke up feeling like she had the flu and was thinking about not racing, but decided to run through her sickness. She ended up finishing 4th on the TEAM, and helped us to gain a 2 point victory over Alta. Without Talya, the JV girls would have finished 2nd. I liked how Jessica went out aggressive and risked a little bit in the race; she ended up beating her pr (from last week) by 17 seconds.
I was also proud of the way the boys fought hard to run their best. Seth and Spencer did exactly what I asked them to do. They went out a little harder over the 1st mile of the race. I thought it was a risk that they would be able to handle. I think it showed Spencer that he is still strong over the last part of the race, and I was very impressed with how Seth stayed tough and stuck with it, even though he has not been feeling his best this week. One of the hardest things about running is doing your best when you are having an “off” day. It is easy to do your best when you feel great, but running hard through the pain and through a bad race is what shows a lot of character and guts.
I thought our boys JV ran their best race of the season as a TEAM. We had solid efforts up front, and we showed a lot of depth with 9 guys in the top 36. The most impressive race was by Michael King–he started out patient, but continued to move up the entire way. Carston ran with a lot of guts, going after the leader the whole way, fighting to the end. Jake and Cody both had breakthrough races this week, both running close to a minute faster than last week. This group is where we will find our Spencers and Seths of the future. Who is it going to be? Who is going to step up and help lead this team next year? I tell you what, it doesn’t start next summer, it starts now. Set the goals, and go after it.
Another highlight of the meet was Caleb wrestling with Mr. Guts (I hope it’s okay to call him that). I think it added a lot of excitement to the awards ceremony. I thought Caleb held his own, and I am glad that Seth’s dad didn’t drop Caleb on my head. Good fightin’ Caleb.
I was also very proud to be your coach when I was running in the coach’s race. I couldn’t help but smile when all of your cheers seemed like payback from the things that I yell at you in races, but I appreciated all of the support and the confidence and the excitement for me as I ran. It helped me to get past the pain and the negative thoughts that come in a race, and instead helped me to concentrate on doing my best. Even though Spencer and Seth “owned me”.

Although bringing home 4 trophies in 4 races was impressive, there were many other reasons that I was proud to be the Davis coach on Saturday:
I was impressed with Natalie’s race. Her hip flexor and quad have been hurting all week. We weren’t sure if she was going to race. She limped a little through the warm-up, so I was leaning toward not letting her run, but Natalie was in the competitive mode and was thinking she wanted to race. By the time we were at the starting line, we still hadn’t decided what to do. About 2 minutes before the race, Natalie said she wanted to run. I told her to be careful, and even to stop if the pain got worse, so I wasn’t surprised that she started the race more conservatively. I was a little surprised that she made such a bold move into the lead a little over ½ way through the race and started gapping the rest of the field. I thought she ran with a lot of toughness–it wasn’t until the last 50 meters that Hailey caught her.
I thought all of the varsity girls stepped up their efforts without Katie in the race with them, but Kelsey in particular put together a really awesome performance. Before they went up to the ponds on the second lap of the race (just over a mile to go), I noticed Kelsey had put in a big move and was running right behind Loren. After I cheered for Loren and then saw Kelsey right behind her, I got so excited that my voice cracked when I yelled for Kelsey. I am not sure if Kelsey could understand what I was yelling. Her hard work and determination and dedication to the TEAM were all evident in the race on Saturday.
The JV girls also ran a gutsy race. We were missing 3 of our top JV girls. Meghan, because she was in the varsity race, Megan Waddoups, because of an injury, and Ashley Ballard-Sume because of band. So it was going to be a big challenge for the JV girls to continue their undefeated season. I thought Julianne ran very tough, fighting for the lead throughout the entire race. She has really stepped it up, despite running with a lot of pain in her leg. Talya also came through for the TEAM. She woke up feeling like she had the flu and was thinking about not racing, but decided to run through her sickness. She ended up finishing 4th on the TEAM, and helped us to gain a 2 point victory over Alta. Without Talya, the JV girls would have finished 2nd. I liked how Jessica went out aggressive and risked a little bit in the race; she ended up beating her pr (from last week) by 17 seconds.
I was also proud of the way the boys fought hard to run their best. Seth and Spencer did exactly what I asked them to do. They went out a little harder over the 1st mile of the race. I thought it was a risk that they would be able to handle. I think it showed Spencer that he is still strong over the last part of the race, and I was very impressed with how Seth stayed tough and stuck with it, even though he has not been feeling his best this week. One of the hardest things about running is doing your best when you are having an “off” day. It is easy to do your best when you feel great, but running hard through the pain and through a bad race is what shows a lot of character and guts.
I thought our boys JV ran their best race of the season as a TEAM. We had solid efforts up front, and we showed a lot of depth with 9 guys in the top 36. The most impressive race was by Michael King–he started out patient, but continued to move up the entire way. Carston ran with a lot of guts, going after the leader the whole way, fighting to the end. Jake and Cody both had breakthrough races this week, both running close to a minute faster than last week. This group is where we will find our Spencers and Seths of the future. Who is it going to be? Who is going to step up and help lead this team next year? I tell you what, it doesn’t start next summer, it starts now. Set the goals, and go after it.
Another highlight of the meet was Caleb wrestling with Mr. Guts (I hope it’s okay to call him that). I think it added a lot of excitement to the awards ceremony. I thought Caleb held his own, and I am glad that Seth’s dad didn’t drop Caleb on my head. Good fightin’ Caleb.
I was also very proud to be your coach when I was running in the coach’s race. I couldn’t help but smile when all of your cheers seemed like payback from the things that I yell at you in races, but I appreciated all of the support and the confidence and the excitement for me as I ran. It helped me to get past the pain and the negative thoughts that come in a race, and instead helped me to concentrate on doing my best. Even though Spencer and Seth “owned me”.

XC Update - Bob Firman
Darts,
I hope that you are recovering from the Bob Firman trip. It was a great experience for our TEAM, but also right in the middle of the season. We still have many great things to come over the next 3 ½ weeks. We still have a lot of work to do to be ready to race our best at region and state. I hope that each of you are learning from your races, and finding things to help you better prepare for the last races of the season.
The boys team raced well against some major competition. 9 teams in the meet were nationally or regionally ranked. We are showing greater depth in our 3-7 runners, but we still need to close the gap between Seth and Spencer and the rest of the TEAM. Most importantly, we are still improving and still running PRs.

The JV boys are developing more and more depth. The top 7 JV boys are all coming back next year. I thought that Caleb ran a particularly gutsy race. I was also very pleased with how Colin, Garrett, and Michael worked together over the 2nd half of the race.

It has kind of been a bitter-sweet week for our girls varsity TEAM. We found out on Friday that we are nationally ranked (in the top 25) for the first time ever. The girls are ranked 23rd by the Harrier magazine. There is a link to the rankings on dyestat.com. We followed up the ranking with an impressive performance in the Bob Firman race. We finished 2nd to Mountain Brook, Alabama (ranked 21st nationally). All of the girls ran solid, and we had many personal bests. The bitter part is the news I received today about Katie Swanson. Katie has been our big surprise of the season. She has been our #3 runner at every race, and has been running close to Candace and Natalie. She is currently one of the top 10 5A runners in the state in her first year of cross country. Her lower leg had been bothering her coming into the race, and it really hurt during the race. An x-ray today showed that she has broken her leg and will be in a boot for 4 to 6 weeks. Most likely we are going to be without Katie the rest of the season. It is a big loss to the TEAM. She runs with determination and guts; she is an awesome runner and a great leader. We can still accomplish our goal of state champions, but it means other members of the TEAM have to step it up.

The girls JV team dominated the race, which shows that our future is looking bright. Meghan Hedquist took off in the second lap of the race to distance the field and win by an impressive 26 seconds. She had been feeling sick the entire trip, but raced hard through the sickness. Julianne is coming back from an injury and looked strong as she fought for 2nd place. The team had 7 of the top 21 places to win by 68 points. Our biggest improvement from last year’s race was Brittany Sumsion, who ran 1:57 faster.

A special thanks to Brad Anderson, Dave King, Steve and Rhonda Petty, Kenneth and Coach Richardson, and Stefanie and Ashlyn for all the help and for making the trip so much fun. (Actually, maybe no thanks to Ken, for scaring my daughter to death, and scarring her for life.)

Murray Invitational
Darts,
1st of all, Congratulations to Corinne Johnson, Jami Dixon, and Kendra Gutzwiller on finishing the Logan Marathon. It was a first for all 3. Corinne and Jami were just under 4 hours, and Kendra was not far over 4 hours. I saw Corinne and Jami at mile 17 and they were flying past people, looking strong. Nice Job.
We ended this week with another really solid performance at the Murray Invitational. We are still headed in the right direction. It is good to see so many of you improving and working hard to be your best. Although the Murray course ended up being a little tougher than I thought it would be compared to BYU, I thought that the TEAM gave a great effort.

Darts,
It has been a very successful week for both the boys and the girls TEAMS. We started with Wednesday's Davis County Clipper victories at Layton Park. Davis won all 4 TEAM competitions (boys & girls varsity and JV). The JV girls had a standout performance taking the top 14 places. For results go to: darttrack.blogspot.com.
I wish I could have seen the BYU Invite races, I guess the text updates I got from Brad while I was running on top of some mountain will have to do. From the results it seems like we had some very solid performances in our first big invite of the year. Most of the top teams in the state were at the race.
The girls swept both the Varsity and JV TEAM titles. The varsity girls placed 7 in the top 19 (from 5A teams) and ended up winning by 100 points. Candace was the individual champion followed by Natalie in 4th. They have both been so consistent over the last 3 years as 2 of the states best runners. Staying consistent at that level is a huge accomplishment. Katie finished 12th and has really stepped up to help the team. Emily had a breakthrough race, improving 3:04 over last year. Loren is continuing to run strong with a 2:41 improvement over last year. And Kelsey and Hollie have also improved greatly (over 1:00 each) and have consistently helped the TEAM. There were also some great performances in the girls JV and 9th/10th grade races. The JV girls won by 9 points over the best team from Montana. Ashley Ballard-Sume was the individual champion, and some notable improvements over last year include: Talya (2:55), Lizzy (1:26), Megan (:59), Morgan (3:23), Missy (3:40), and Brittany (3:16). All the girls have been stepping it up and running better and better. The hard work has paid off. Keep up the positive attitudes and the passion for the TEAM.
The boys also ran very strong races. It may not be evident by the place (5th) compared to 2nd last year, but the boys Varsity team ran a faster team time this year (17:00 average for the top 5 compared to 17:08 in 2006). This year's team would have won the 2006 race. The 4A competition has improved and our boys finished 5th but were the #1 5A team in the meet. Seth came through with a huge race running 16:13 (only :07 off of Jared's time from last year). Spencer finished 14th overall (#4 in 5A). Bryce improved his time 2:11 over last year for a strong finish. Jason is improving consistently with every race. Bryson, who won the BYU jv race last year, still improved his time, and is going to run even faster. Jordan has been sick, but ran 1:04 faster than last year, and Leland has stepped it up to run varsity and showed that he belonged in that race. A very impressive race; we are starting to show that we are contenders, and the thing I like most about it is that we are capable of running even better. The boys JV team has come together nicely. The top 7 runners were within :53 seconds of each other. Good enough for a 3rd place finish in a tight battle (once again the top 5A team). We are improving with every race. Let's keep that going through the region and state meets.

This week:
Monday: meet in my room after school - intervals on the track (I can't move much farther than that)
Tuesday: meet in my room after school - running to Nichol's Park for a game of running "steal the flag"
Wednesday: meet in my room after school - Hard workout
Thursday: Easy run
Friday: Murray Invite 5k @ Murray Park. We will be leaving at the start of 8th period. I will send out more details later.
Saturday: No organized team practice. Run in groups or on your own (6 to 8 miles). Best of luck to Corinne and Jami in the Logan Marathon.
Now, some of you may want to know about my 100 mile endurance race yesterday. Let me just start by saying thank you for the tremendous support and encouragement. I didn't have a pacer for the first 40 miles, but I had all of you in my thoughts. I was also getting text messages like crazy every time I would get service. It was annoying the other runners to hear my phone going off every few minutes. I think I counted 127 text messages during the run. They were so positive and really kept me going. I am sorry that I didn't respond to your questions - it is difficult to text and run on trails. Brad was sending me messages to update me on the BYU races. It was getting me so excited. In fact, during that stretch (from about 9:30 am to 11:30 am) I was running along a few different ridges, and I moved from about 12th place up to 5th place. It was also the fastest pace that I ran the entire race - because I could not hold back my excitement. Sometimes he would send me updates and I would raise my hands in the air and cheer. (don't worry, I was alone at the time - no one could see me). Thanks for running so well and motivating and inspiring me.
The race was incredible. I kept saying that I could not believe how good I felt and how positive I was thinking. My hip flexors started hurting about 12 miles into the race, but that was the only trouble I was having. I was able to eat and drink and stay hydrated. I came into the aid station feeling great at 39 miles and picked up my 1st pacer (Steve Petty), and was able to see Stef and Ashlyn for just a second, but it gave me a huge boost. Steve did a great job getting me to mile 53 at Lambs Canyon. Mile 53 was the highlight of my race. I can't describe how uplifting it was to see so many of you there. My parents (and about 20 other people who were at the scene) have told me how incredible my team is, and I absolutely agree. I left the aid station on an unbelievable high that kept me going the next 2 or 3 hours. My next 2 pacers (Kenneth and Mark - old college running buddies) were surprised that I was so upbeat and that I could keep moving so well. My knees and my hip flexors were still in a lot of pain, but it didn't seem to slow me down too much. It was not until nightfall (at about 70 miles) that I started to feel some major pain, I was also having difficulty eating and drinking. I made it to Brighton Ski resort (mile 75.6) at about 9:30. I knew that I was tired and hurting, but I also knew that I could finish. I was still in 5th place. Stefanie and my parents were there which gave me a huge boost. I grabbed some food, read about 20 inspiring text messages, and set out on the climb to 10,500 feet. I also picked up my last pacer, Jed, who had stepped up to pace me last minute.
It is difficult to write about the last part of the race. Right as we left Brighton I could feel that I was in trouble. We slowly walked up the trail to Lake Mary. It was a steep uphill, and I was really struggling to lift my legs. I also started having some difficult stomach problems. Jed and I had to stop a few times so that I could throw up. I would feel a little better for a while, but knew that I was losing valuable calories and electrolytes. Everything I ate, I immediately threw up. Okay - this is getting gross, so I will finish up quickly. It took me and Jed about 1 hour to hike 2 miles up the trail. We came to a point that I had to stop and sit down. My legs were cramping and I was shivering and getting a bit delirious. About 5 or 6 other runners had passed me during the hour. I laid down on a big flat rock and couldn't get up for about 30 minutes. Jed kept encouraging me, but my body was at its limit. Everytime I tried to stand up and keep going, my legs would cramp and I would start shaking uncontrollably. We finally decided to walk back down to Brighton. But even that 2 mile walk seemed more difficult than the 78 miles I had already traveled. My stride was about 6 inches wide because I couldn't lift my legs. I had to keep stopping because I couldn't lift my legs. There were 2 or 3 times where Jed put me on his back and carried me as far as he could. Eventually I was able to walk a little bit, but the hour down the mountain was one of the most difficult things I have ever done. It was made even more difficult because I kept passing runners that were continuing the race up the mountain, and they were all so sympathetic and encouraging. I wanted desperately to keep going, but there was nothing I could do. Jed and I covered about 4 miles together in just under 3 hours. My pacers were all incredible, and I felt bad that Jed had to struggle with me through the hard part. Steve, Kenneth, and Mark were the lucky ones. We had fun and I was doing well, but Jed had to endure the challenging parts with me. I covered a total of 80 miles and then officially dropped out. I feel like it was a physical decision, not a mental one.
People think I am crazy for trying and crazy for putting my body through something like that, but I am glad that I tried it and that I had the experience. I pushed my body and mind harder and farther than I ever had before. The most I had run before the race was 31 miles. It would have been nice to finish, but at the same time I know that I did my best. Thanks again for all of your support and encouragement and concern. I had the best fans of anybody in the race. I really am inspired by your sacrifices to make our TEAM what it is.

"Some people confuse happiness with pleasure. Happiness is different than pleasure. Happiness has something to do with struggling and enduring and accomplishing." -George Sheehan
It has been a very successful week for both the boys and the girls TEAMS. We started with Wednesday's Davis County Clipper victories at Layton Park. Davis won all 4 TEAM competitions (boys & girls varsity and JV). The JV girls had a standout performance taking the top 14 places. For results go to: darttrack.blogspot.com.
I wish I could have seen the BYU Invite races, I guess the text updates I got from Brad while I was running on top of some mountain will have to do. From the results it seems like we had some very solid performances in our first big invite of the year. Most of the top teams in the state were at the race.
The girls swept both the Varsity and JV TEAM titles. The varsity girls placed 7 in the top 19 (from 5A teams) and ended up winning by 100 points. Candace was the individual champion followed by Natalie in 4th. They have both been so consistent over the last 3 years as 2 of the states best runners. Staying consistent at that level is a huge accomplishment. Katie finished 12th and has really stepped up to help the team. Emily had a breakthrough race, improving 3:04 over last year. Loren is continuing to run strong with a 2:41 improvement over last year. And Kelsey and Hollie have also improved greatly (over 1:00 each) and have consistently helped the TEAM. There were also some great performances in the girls JV and 9th/10th grade races. The JV girls won by 9 points over the best team from Montana. Ashley Ballard-Sume was the individual champion, and some notable improvements over last year include: Talya (2:55), Lizzy (1:26), Megan (:59), Morgan (3:23), Missy (3:40), and Brittany (3:16). All the girls have been stepping it up and running better and better. The hard work has paid off. Keep up the positive attitudes and the passion for the TEAM.
The boys also ran very strong races. It may not be evident by the place (5th) compared to 2nd last year, but the boys Varsity team ran a faster team time this year (17:00 average for the top 5 compared to 17:08 in 2006). This year's team would have won the 2006 race. The 4A competition has improved and our boys finished 5th but were the #1 5A team in the meet. Seth came through with a huge race running 16:13 (only :07 off of Jared's time from last year). Spencer finished 14th overall (#4 in 5A). Bryce improved his time 2:11 over last year for a strong finish. Jason is improving consistently with every race. Bryson, who won the BYU jv race last year, still improved his time, and is going to run even faster. Jordan has been sick, but ran 1:04 faster than last year, and Leland has stepped it up to run varsity and showed that he belonged in that race. A very impressive race; we are starting to show that we are contenders, and the thing I like most about it is that we are capable of running even better. The boys JV team has come together nicely. The top 7 runners were within :53 seconds of each other. Good enough for a 3rd place finish in a tight battle (once again the top 5A team). We are improving with every race. Let's keep that going through the region and state meets.

Grass Relays
Darts,
Great start to the season at the Grass Relays. The girls finished 1st and the boys were 5th.
I know that the boys were a little disappointed in their overall finish for the 1st race of the year, but there were some positive things that we can take away from the meet. I thought that Seth and Spencer led us with some solid races (although they both wanted to run faster), and it showed that we have quite a bit of depth to fill the 3-7 spots, and to lead our JV. I also saw some glimpses of toughness and aggressiveness that I would like to see more of. It did show that we have some improving to do throughout the season. That we have to be working hard and working as a TEAM to accomplish our goal of Region and State Champions. I hope to look back at the end of the season and be able to see how far we have come since the grass relays. Last year we started out on the top, this year we are the “sleeper”. Other teams are not going to expect as much from us, and we are going to surprise them. I like where we stand.

On the girls side we see that we have tremendous depth. Our girls JV team would have placed 5th in the Varsity relay race. We had 9 girls run under 13:30 compared to only 2 girls last year. I really liked watching the JV girls run together. I thought we ran as a TEAM, and really helped each other out. There were some major improvements from last year. The girls varsity were TEAM champions, and also ran the 6th fastest time in the 9 year history of the race. One thing that I would like to see more of is enthusiasm for each other’s successes. Some louder cheering during the race and during the award ceremony. We should be the loudest and proudest team at every meet we go to this year.

The upcoming week is another busy one. We will be meeting:
Monday - 7:00 am @ the Vita Course
Tuesday - Run 5 to 7 miles on your own (or meet in groups)
Wednesday - (1st day of school). Meet in my classroom (2512) right after school, then we will be going over to Layton Park for the Pre-Region Meet (2 mile race). There will not be a bus.
Boys JV - 4:00 pm
Girls JV and Varsity - 4:20 pm
Boys Varsity - 4:40 pm
* Plan on staying until the end of all the races. Try and get your parents to come and support you and the team.
Thursday - Team Meeting in 2512 @ 2:40 after school.
A few reminders and notes
1 - send me your last week of mileage (or two weeks if it is missing).
2 - Finish your paperwork for eligibility if you have not done so.
3 - Coach Richardson had a successful ½ marathon in Logan - her time was 1:22.47 which is about 6:18 per mile.
Chosen as Athletes of the Week:
Michael King - for his tremendous comeback over the last 6 months and for running a fearless race (:20 faster than last year). Impressive.
Julianne Wirthlin - for her victory in her 1st ever cross country race, and for all of her hard work and improvement over the summer.
I hope I see many of you on the trails tomorrow - you will probably not have read this at that point (I apologize for the late update). I’ll just remind you that within the cross country season there is plenty of time to make big things happen, but it is also a short season, so you have to make every day count. Don’t forget the little things - hydrate, eat well, get your rest.
Keep running, Be your best

XC Update- August 4th
Darts,
It is nice to be home from camp at Marsh Lake, with my family, clean, sleeping in my own bed, not worrying about getting ice cream rubbed on my face, but I also already miss the fun times and good TEAM atmosphere that we had at camp. I hope we can keep that excitement and enthusiasm and TEAM work going throughout the season.
Thanks to all those who helped make this year's camp a huge success: Coach Buhrley and the Syracuse team; the parents that helped drive; Brad Anderson and his sons; Dave King and his camping expertise; Jared, Erica, Corinne, and Greg (our Super Seniors); and especially all of you athletes that came up and worked hard and played hard. I hope that those of you that did not come this year will have the opportunity some time to see what cross country camp is about.
These were some of the highlights for me:-
Mile Repeats: Even though some of you struggled, the times were fast, and I could see that this TEAM has a lot of guts and is ready to work hard and work together. I can't think of many harder workouts than mile repeats at 9,200 feet-
Loren and Seth in the 1-5 game, and Emily winning the 1-5 game.-
Jordan jumping out of the bushes and scaring me, knocking me over and nearly causing me to fall into the lake.-
Talking and laughing with Brad, Erica, Jared, Corinne, and Greg around the fire on Tuesday night (sorry Lizzy)-
Seeing some moose with Ethan and Spencer-
The Red Castle hike/run (always one of my favorites) even though nearly everyone got lost. 23 miles makes a 5k seem like nothing. -
Natalie sleep-walking looking for her socks.-
Listening to all of your stories (especially Missy's).-
Keeping all of you intently listening to me, for once, while I told you the story of my high school coach and the surprise in the pit toilet. -
Finding Bryson after the run at the trail above Bridger Lake, then hearing him tell about it that night.-
Making Lizzy and Loren (and some of the other girls) feel really guilty after our "water" talk :) I don't think Morgan and Megan felt too bad.-
Colin, Erica, and Shantel (I think) winning Coach Buhrley's trivia.-
Josh's excitement over seeing a chipmunk and trying sun chips for the 1st time.-
Team 4 (Thursday) singing and dancing while they cooked dinner.-
Watching Candace trying to figure out Spencer's card tricks.-
Hearing about Carlee's reaction to her stuff getting wet.-
The "Adam's Family Game" - I can't wait to get a copy of Coach Buhrley's video.-
Getting mad at Caleb and Kevin time and time again (that is more of a low-light).-
All of your smiles and positive attitudes, even though I know that you were tired from the hard running. Thanks for all the memories!
We are moving into our final phase of summer training. We are going to start doing more interval workouts. Those of you with a good base are right on schedule, others will need to do their best to get caught up. If you haven't been coming to practice, and you still want to run in the first race of the year (Grass Relays on Aug 25th), and you still want to be a part of this TEAM, I will need to start seeing you at practices this week. The workouts are no longer 'optional', they are now mandatory. If you are going to be missing for family vacations or work, please let me know, and try to get the workout in on your own. Definitely communicate with me. Just don't miss because you are being lazy or because you 'slept in'. Being the best we can be as a TEAM is going to take commitment and sacrifice. The season is right around the corner.
This week's schedule will be different from the one on the paper that I handed out. We will meet the following days and places (sorry for the confusion):
Monday 7:00 am at the Vita Course
Tuesday 7:00 am at Layton Park
Thursday 7:00 am at Davis High
*The run scheduled for Causey Reservoir on Friday is cancelled for the time being, but we may be able to schedule it for a later date. So, make sure to turn in your mileage for this week. If you were at camp, I will make a list of what we did at the bottom of the email. Still send me what you think you ran and how you felt about it and your Saturday mileage. I am also missing most of your miles for last week (July 23-29). We only have three weeks until the season officially begins.
One last reminder - Dart Challenge 5k on August 18th at 8:00 am at Barnes Park. Be there at 7:00. I will have registration forms with me for the next 2 weeks at practice (the cost is $15). If a lot of people in your family are running, let me know and I will cut them a deal. You can also register on runnercard.com
happy running,
