The Wasatch Back Relay

For the third year in a row, the boys put together a relay team for the Wasatch Back Relay. They placed 3rd overall out of over 1100 teams in 21:09:51. Zac Jacklin ran on the BYU mens team (with alumni Connor McMillan and Clayton Young) that won in 19:51:00, while second place went to our friends at Davis High School in 20:38:12.

PARENTS: NEXT WEEK IS XC CAMP. PHYSICAL FORMS ARE DUE THIS WEEK, AS ARE THE TRYOUT CHECKLISTS ON REGISTERMYATHLETE.COM AND THE CONCUSSION TRAINING CERTIFICATES. SEE PREVIOUS BLOG POSTS FOR INSTRUCTIONS. SO FAR WE ONLY HAVE 5 BOYS AND 8 GIRLS WITH THEIR PHYSICAL FORMS IN. 

The Grinder

Lacey Evans earned her Grinder t-shirt this morning with a time of 10:22. She's the first girl rookie to get a t-shirt this season.

Bridal Veil Falls

Yesterday we had a fun run up Provo Canyon to Bridal Veil Falls.

Parents: Important Reminders

Please remember that your athlete needs to have a physical exam and the physical form completed (including insurance information) by June 26th in time for Camp.

Also remember to complete or renew your athlete's tryout checklist online ASAP.

This year athletes will be able to complete their mandatory concussion training online. They need to complete it and print out the concussion training certificate and hand that in to their coach.

Concussion Training Instructions

First Day of Summer

We met for our first Summer run this morning at AFHS. Athletes should run 5-7 miles tomorrow, and then we'll meet Wednesday at AFHS at 7:00 AM. Friday, we need parents to help drive the team to Willow Park for a fun trail run. Also, please make sure you get on RegisterMyAthlete.com to complete the tryout checklist and get your physical exam ASAP!

Congratulations to Patrick Parker. He made it up The Grinder in 8:40 this morning to be the first new runner this season to earn a "I Conquered The Grinder" t-shirt.
