Today was the Wasatch invitational at Soldier Hollow. It was a pretty long drive up there so I got a pretty solid nap on the way up. We got there and started warming up once the junior senior JV boys started. We lined up and they only gave everyone spots two people wide. We got out and I just settled into the race with Walton and Cole Gray. We did pretty much all of our moving in the first mile. It was pretty rough because there was absolutely no flat it seemed. It was either up or down. We came through the first mile in 6:05, then headed up the switchbacks. On the second one I gapped Walton by a little and surged up to two kids from Salem Hills. I stayed with them all the way to the last half mile where it's all downhill, and they pulled away. I ran by myself to the finish and got seventeenth. I was disappointed I was so close to meddling but whatever. Our team got second and only lost to AF 28-42. And that was without our third runner Mike. By the time state comes I think we could be able to give them a run for their money.
