Run Like the Wind Garrett!

Garrett decided to do Cross Country this year - a freshman.  He excelled!  The whole season he placed in the top 7 or 8 in the races - about 4th on our team almost every time.
 Region is held in Glendale each year at the golf course.  The distance - 3 miles - 3 1/2 times around the course.  Garrett said it was one of the most difficult courses he ran this year, plus he was wearing brand new shoes he had only wore once before to practice.  He didn't place as well as he would have liked, but he made the team!  7th for Panguitch to cross the finish line!


A Panguitch pileup!


Running with his good friend Josiah

Not even touching the ground!
McKenna's sign from Cheer she made her  brother!
 State is held at Sugarhouse Park.  We made a day trip to go watch Garrett run.  It looks like a pretty rough course!  But there are a lot of places you can watch your runner as they pass by - good for spectators!

And they're off!
I loved how there were folks cheering the runners on no matter what school they were from.  It was great!

Crossing the finish line!
The team took home the second place trophy.  Garrett made the fifth spot on the team!  Great job guys!  There was only one senior on the team this year.  The rest will be returning next year!  Looking forward to what they will be able to do!  While the boys took 2nd, the girls took first!  Impressive season Bobcats!  Garrett's time - 19:21.3 (6:27 min/mile), 36th overall out of 104, Final team score - 87, a one point lead over Bryce Valley!
