Carson Burian scored his first XC State Championship title when he won the 2A race back in October!
This week is the most exciting of all for Cross Country competition within the state of Utah. Aside from any post season championships meets, this is the end of the road for many in terms of the XC season. On Wednesday at Sugarhouse Park, runners from across the state will converge for the State Championship. the 1A girls go first, and then right after they finish the 2A girls will toe the line. The 2A boys will get their chance about 30 minutes after the girls finish.
If there is one thing to be said about the Bob Firman Invitational this weekend, it would be that most people have overlooked the Utah talent. With meet previews highlighting everyone except the Utah competitors, no one seems to think our local athletes can run with the best. If there is one thing I have learned, it would be to watch out for Utah, because we boast some of the strongest distance running talent in the country, especially for the size of the state. The meet does bring some very good talent from Washington, Idaho, and California, but there are plenty of runners from Utah that can steal the show. So who is most likely to surprise the competition in Idaho this weekend?
The 2013 Cross Country season is upon us, with the first meet of the season this weekend at Stansbury. The 2A competition should be very interesting this season with changes coming in divisions, as well as removing all the graduation Seniors from last year.
The 2a State Championship had two very different story lines in the girls competition and the boys competition. The boys team competition was the Richfield show as they dominated the meet winning by over 100 points over North Summit with 70.5 points and Emery with 44.5. Capping off the team title, Richfield pulled out a very exciting win in the Boys 4x400m relay.
Parowan won this one last year, followed by a tight pack of Rowland Hall, San Juan, Richfield, and Millard. How does it shape up this year?
Last year, Rowland Hall rolled through the 2A girls state cross country meet like a freight train on highball. Can they do it again this year?
