FINALLY!!!
The summer is over. Now we can get a little more consistency with our TEAM workouts. We start our practices every school day at 2:40 in room 2118. Be on time, dressed, ready to go. And bring a new recruit!!
SYRACUSE STAMPEDE
The Titans dominated the Buffalo Stampede trail races held on Antelope Island. There were two race held- a 5k and 12k. Most Titans opted for the 12k.
Cody Kelley won the men’s 12k covering the hilly trail course in 50:41. Coach Wilcox was the next Titan as he finished 3rd overall in 54:01. Jared Godfrey (56:51), Tyler Fessler (58:50), Zach Griffin (1:00:23), Tanner Robb (1:02.46) and Nick Merriman (1:06.11) were our next top finishers. Coach Buhrley (1:07:40) played caboose. Lane Dunstan took a wrong turn or two and finished an unknown distance in an unknown time. But he finished, though not taking the most direct route.
In the ladies race, Coach Busby ran a great race to place 2nd overall in 1:01:43. She was closely followed by Maddy Neyts in 1:02:43. Katelyn Davidson (1:04:28), Becca Jacobsen and Adriana McFarland (1:15:39), and Lauren Busby and Jessica Howes (1:18:44) also ran tough over the rugged trail course.
“Friends” of Titan XC running well included Eric Neyts (57:50), Coach Brown (1:02:46) and Leslie Fessler (1:02:47).
In the 5k trail race, Loren Burrell was the top finisher placing 4th in 23:48. Sean Marchant (24:56), Hyrum Cook (26:57), Zach Burrell (28:29) and Gavin Dowdy (29:15) were our next top placers. Sam Segura was the only Lady Titan to run the 5k finishing in 30:34. Our Titan supporters also running the race included Wendy Dyer (Gavin Dowdy’s Mom, 28:28), Carver Wilcox (33:30) and Carole Cook (46:12).
Overall it was a very fun race and a great way to get in a quality trail run and finish out the summer training.
SUMMER TRAINING CYCLE IS OVER
For a few, this summer was simply outstanding. Maddy Neyts (566), Erin Kibler (515) and Katelyn Davidson (490) logged the most total miles ever for a Lady Titan in summer workouts. Cody Kelley (774) and Tom Hill (714) also put in the most miles ever for the boys. Those are huge miles and will result in some great results.
ATHLETES OF THE WEEK(‘S)
These first honors are really for the first couple weeks since our racing season began as well as for the overall summer efforts. Maddy Neyts and Cody Kelley have been selected as the first recipients of this honor. Both put in incredible summers, not only in the mileage they have logged, but also in their leadership. Even though they are only juniors, everyone on the TEAM looks up to them as two of the leaders that will help our chances for success.
PRE-REGION/MURRAY INVITATIONAL
Pre-Region will be held at Layton Commons Park (just west of Layton High School) Tuesday. Along with the Titan, Davis, Northridge and Layton will compete. The girls will run at 4:00 and the boys at 4:30. Athletes will be excused at 1:30 with the bus leaving at 1:45.
