It was probably the best cross country race I've seen him run. He started out slower on the first mile, but was able to come back and finish strong. |
It was SAT day, so I know for certain (Mountain View) held out one of their top runners, but if she were to finish where she normally does, we still would have beaten them by a few points. |
It will give us a good look at other schools we'll face in the Western Slope. |
It's a fantastic start to the season. The girls definitely won on the strength of their team effort. They had several strong finishes, but nobody in the top 10. |
Jamie had a breakout race. This is his first year running, and he's really starting to learn. |
Jennifer and Erika had an amazing race. Erika always peaks around this time of year. |
Normally we wouldn't race two times in three days, but we wanted to cover our bases and preview the course. |
Our goal going down there was to be within striking distance of top (4A) team in the state. |

That was a very courageous effort, considering the circumstances. |
The team has never been ranked before. The coaches and athletes are thrilled. It's a testament to the kids who have put in the miles. |
The teams ahead of them in the poll were not there, so they know they have their work cut out of them. They have two months of hard work ahead of them. They can't relax, and they aren't going to be content with their performance (Thursday). |
The times are faster there, so it's hard to compare times course to course. |
Their times were fabulous. The only team the guys didn't beat was Grand Junction, which is a 5A school. |
They came out and they were lights out. |
