I ran at least 4 miles today at our Region meet, between warming up the JV and Varsity.  The first steps after St. George are always brutal even when you think you feel good.  I even did some temo stuff running back and forth yelling my head off at my guys.  My JV guys were dominant taking 1,4,5,6, and 9 (5 in the top ten).  I started helping with the JV a couple of weeks ago because they were running so poorly, and today they destroyed every team that wasted them all season, it was fun to watch.  My varsity guys did great taking 2nd to Ogden.  We have had a lot of trials (including losing our 4th guy for being suspending for drinking last weekend).  A few of my guys finally arrived today, and of course my #1 guy (Chris) ran away from everyone to win.  He should be top 3 next week at state.  I was happy with the effort because we were only 11 points behind Ogden (26 to 37), and Ogden ran out of their heads today.  If it was State today Ogden would have won it for sure, but next week with Park City, Judge, and Cedar in the mix things will be interesting.  Results are at this website, I still have never learned how to Hyperlink stuff.  http://www.runnercard.com/runner/data/463/1200/result/Boys_Varsity_3_Mile.htm

I saw East High and Bill Cobler had copied the our shirt design that we stole from someone else.  Copy cats!  However, I might have to trade them one of my shirts for one of theirs because both are pretty cool.

Tell Chris good luck from me.

We have Coca-Cola/Cross-Country wristbands too! My dad says he has a shirt to trade if you want.
