Utah Distance Challenge and Boise Results

New Balance Boise Indoor - Jacksons Invite Click HERE

We had some great performances this week. The distance team race at the Utah Distance Challenge and Michael Bluth went up to a very competitive meet in Boise Idaho. 

Michael Bluth had a seller meet winning the 400 and the 200 at Boise. This really goes to show how good Michael really is.  It would of been great go up and watch him run. 

The distance team attended their first meet. It was a great meet for us. Most of the distance runners set pretty good PR's. This is a really good sign because of how early it is in the season. The hard work that a lot of kids put in during Cross Country and the start of this year is already paying out dividends. 

Competitor Award - One thing that is hard to learn is to be a competitor. Athletes with that winning mentality are the funnest to watch and typically have the biggest improvements over the years. 

-Kim Adiar, Brooklyn Dutton, Rachel Rigby, Katie Chrisopherson, Levi Wolfley, Ashely, Tracen Warnick, Michael Mclean

Risk Taker Award - This highlights the athletes that clearly had a plan and tried to execute it not worrying about dying off but testing their bodies limits. These early meets are great races to take risk. If you have small controllable goals each race and take risks it is impossible not to improve almost every race. 

- Alyssa, Josh Figgins, Brady Earley, Duncan Forester. 

GREAT JOB EVERYONE!

The BYU Invitational was this weekend. This was the biggest that I have ever seen this meet. There was a ton of schools and a ton of great competition. Our sprinters and jumpers were the only two groups to attend.

400M:   The boys totally dominated this race with Michael Bluth winning the race with a very impressive time of 49.61. The boys team went 1st, 3rd, 4th, 8th and 11th. Showing just how good our 400 squad is at Riverton.

4*1 lap: Both our boys and girls represented well in the 4*322m race finishing first.
