A smooth trip and a terrific team race at the UNLV Desert Invite was our reward for a very good week of practice. We ran without three of our top four runners in an effort to give some of our younger runners a chance to step up in a leadership role. Several of them responded well which will help us as we prepare to enter the championship part of our schedule in October. We won the meet by placing eight runners in the top 20 (2-5-8-11-12-14-17-20). Our 1-5 spread was exactly a minute which we would like to improve with that group.
Hurst, Troutner, Nielson, Rietz, Stringfellow, Mills, Fain, and Yates were the eight. That is FR, JR, FR, FR, FR, FR, SO, and JR.
We will be competing next at the Chile Pepper Festival hosted by the University of Arkansas on Oct 15th. We anticipate being back at full strength the rest of the way. Check back for some pics and video from practice this week.
