THANKS...
to all who support and sacrifice to help the program. There are many things that sometimes go unnoticed that really help us in pursuing our goals. Athletes and parents, THANKS!! Also, I hope you take time to thank some people who do a great job of supporting us. Kevin Hansen- it’s incredible that he puts in the time he does to take pictures for us. Driving to SLC to spend most of a Saturday taking pictures of 16 races is quite a sacrifice. I would dare say we were the only school with an administrator at the meet Saturday. Mrs. Mudrow drove down to cheer and support Titans in all 16 races. In fact, all of our other administrators (Mrs. Nelson, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Pendleton) have been at our meets. Our student body advisors (Mrs. Hess, Mr. Reisbeck and Miss Henson) have also been at the meets. Make sure you thank them for their support.
GOOD WEEK FOR THE TITANS
There were many good things that took place this week for Titan Cross Country. The quad meet at Layton was a good one in that we had more of our top boys running than in any meet this year. Injuries have taken a toll on us all year. Hopefully, we are getting healthy at the right time. Now it’s just a matter of getting into race shape. It was a good week for the girls- especially at Wahsatch. Placing 3rd in this large invitational was a great achievement. And, it was a good week as so many Titans made changes in homecoming plans to help out the TEAM. It showed a lot of commitment to the program.
Homecoming week highlighted a couple of our athletes. Katelyn Davidson was up for Homecoming Queen- an obvious error in counting votes prevented her from winning the crown. Tom Hill demonstrated his talent in playing the guitar and singing the theme song for the week at the Homecoming assembly. Great job by both to represent Titan XC!!
QUAD MEET AT LAYTON
Layton hosted the Titans, Weber and Northridge Wednesday afternoon. Even though the Titans followed the race plan of running a fairly easy first mile, many had some great times over the 2.85 mile course. In the TEAM race, the Girls finished 2nd and the Boys 3rd. Sharlie Dimick and Bella Williams finished 6th and 7th to pace the Girls. Erin Kibler (9th), Katrina Dunlap (11th) and Maddy Neyts (12th) rounded out the scoring. Adriana McFarland and Becca Jacobsen ran great races to complete the top seven.
Landon Greenhalgh made up huge ground over the last ½ of the race to capture the victory. Parker Greenhalgh (11th), Tom Hill (14th), Cody Kelley (15th) and Carson Andreason (22nd) were our scoring runners. Nathan Seffker and Ryan Andreason rounded out our top seven.

WAHSATCH RENDEZVOUS
The Titans ran very tough over the hilly 2.95 mile Wahsatch Rendezvous course Saturday. With some gutsy running by all seven runners, the Girls Varsity brought home the 3rd place trophy. To show how important each runner was, if two of our runners would have lost one spot from where they placed, we would have finished 4th. If two would have lost two spots, we would have finished 7th. All seven runners were important to our TEAM finish. Bella Williams, Erin Kibler, Katrina Dunlap, Maddy Neyts, Mallory Ashby and Adriana McFarland probably had their best or near best races of the year. While Katelyn Davidson’s was not her best, it may have been her best effort. She was running with a broken arm suffered Monday. What a gutsy performance!! Not surprising. Jessica Howes had a great race to finish as our top JV runner.
The Boys also ran well to finish 5th. Landon and Parker Greenhalgh, Cody Kelley, Carson and Ryan Andreason, Tom Hill and Nathan Seffker ran very well in securing the high finish. They were only five points out of the 3rd-place trophy. Tyler Fessler, Jeff Reed, Cameron Dower and Jared Dower were our top JV runners.

ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Selected as the Athletes of the Week were Bella Williams, Becca Jacobsen, Landon Greenhalgh and Nick Merriman. Bella and Landon have been at or near the front of all of our races this year. Becca and Nick have worked extremely hard and have dedicated themselves to become the best runners possible.
ALUMNI UPDATE
No collegiate action this week.
THIS WEEK
We will host all six region schools Wednesday. Races will begin at 3:45. I’m still working out the details of how to conduct the meet.
In evaluating where we are at this stage of the season, and what we need to do to make it to State, the coaches have decided that we need training more than another invitational. Therefore, we will not be going to the Park City or Orem meets. We will have our most important workout leading up to the Region Championships Saturday morning. It is very important that you arrange your schedule so you can be there.
UPCOMING DATES
Sept 26 - Open Region @ Syracuse - 3:45
Oct 3 - Open Region @ Davis - 3:45
Oct 10 - Region Championships @ Layton Park - TBA
Oct 17 - State @ Sugarhouse Park - TBA
