Viking Race Day

Greetings Viewmont XC,

This week its the Park City Invite. Saturday October 1. The bus will leave at 6:30am.
The race will be at high altitude and was a blast last year.

Race times will begin with a coaches race at 8:15am

JV Girls will race at 9:00am
JV Boys will race at 9:45am
Varsity Girls will race at10:15am
Varsity Boys will race at 10:45am

I expect everyone to race this weekend unless you have previously talked to Coach Fox or myself.

The course is a wide open grass start then proceeding onto a trail network. There is plenty of room to pass the entire race. The surface is 85% dirt with 15% grass.
Moderate rolling hills throughout the entire course.

Directions: take I - 80 east to the silver Creek Junction Exit onto Highway 40 East. Travel 2 to 3 miles then take the Park City exit (Hwy exit 248) Turn right, then take another right at the first light. This is the Quinn's Junction Athletic Fields and the National Ability Center.

The race begins on the soccer fields and proceeds to the trail network and finishes on the soccer fields.

There will be awards to the top ten in each race and for the top two teams.

We have had a great week of speed workouts. I am encouraged by the effort you put into those workouts. I saw pain, anguish, and a huge amount of desire in some of you. It's Go Time. We should have fresh legs and mentally we should be gearing up for the remainder of the season.

Reminder: We as coaches, have not determined all varsity spots at this point. This is a great time to step up and show us that you want to compete and that you want that spot. One of my favorite sayings is, No Guts No Glory!!! We need to fight through the pain and focus on running down people and leaving it all on the course. I don't want you to finish the race and feel like you could have given more. Race likes it's your last race. No Regrets!!!

Go Vikes
