Cavemen Prevail

This morning, our Cavemen won the NXN Southwest Championships with 44 points to 88 points for Ft. Collins, Co. and 93 points for Davis, Ut.
The win qualifies the boys to race in two weeks at the Nike Cross Nationals in Eugene, Oregon.
This is the second year in the row the Cavemen have won Regionals. Last year they ended up 8th place at NXN.
The race was a flat and fast 5000 meters at Toka Sticks Golf Course in Mesa, Arizona.
We had 5 All-Region athletes.

On the SW Region First Team were Clayton Young, 5th in 15:28.1 and Nafe Richardson, 6th in 15:30.2.
Second Team was Mack Morrison, 13th in 15:41.8.
Third Team were Derek Day, 18th in 15:45.5 and Austin West, 20th in 15:49.3.
Danny Keller (112th in 16:33.4) and Kevin Judd (145th in 16:52.8) also ran for the Cavemen.
