Pre Region 1 Meet (Layton, UT)
Before the weekend even started, we got a nice piece of action over at the Pre Region 1 Meet in Layton with some ranked individuals in the State. In the girl's race, it was No. 4 ranked Hailey Low of Layton who took the easy win in 18:28.60. Low ran with the lead from the start and never looked back. After crossing the line, she even joined the crowd of spectators to cheer on her runner-up and teammate as they crossed the line. The Weber girls absolutely dominated the competition finishing with a low score of 35 points and placing three runners in the top five. Layton was second in 4 points, and Davis rounded out the top three in 88 points.
For the boys, No 14 Spencer Bradshaw of Farmington and No. 15 Andrew Harris of Weber, were locked in a dog fight that saw the two of them trading leads up until the last mile of the race. Bradshaw made a bold surge to give himself the separation he needed to secure the win at their pre-regional race, while Harris finished just 7 seconds behind Bradshaw. Farmington came away with the team win and averaged 16:00 for the course. Weber was second overall with a team average of 16:10. These two teams seem to be locked as the favorites to win the region 1 title in October.
