American Fork Team,

Ever so often a team comes along that combines timing, with great coaching, and exceptional individual talent. With superb training this can combine for moments of greatness. AF is standing upon the precipice of greatness. As the Milesplit Western US National Editor and Utah Editor I want to commend you on an outstanding start to your season. Your goal is to win state, nothing more and nothing less. I did the National Rankings for 1982, in that year I had this team in Ohio, Cincinnati Elder, who went undefeated in their season only to lose to two teams they decimated all season in their Region Championships. At the state meet, Elder crushed these two teams but the damage had been done. You need to understand that every time you step onto the line you raise the level of competition around you. Teams will do things they aren't capable of simply because you are their. My advice, stay grounded, be smart, and don't look beyond the mark. You are on a quest for a State Championship. I am proud to be able to represent you on the national forum. Great job at wasatch!

Best,

Aron Taylor
