Today was our first dual meet of the season against Roy high school. It was also our first meet on our new course by the Stan Laub center at USU. The course was four loops starting with a small loop and then two bigger ones and then repeating the smaller one.

A girl was suffering heat problems so the boys race was delayed as an ambulance came to pick her up. The heat was blistering and so was the dirt we were going to run on. The race then starts and I get off to a good start. I find myself in a Logan pack and not seeing any Roy kids around I try to keep the pack intact. For about the first mile we were a pack of about 7 strong. A little after the half way mark our pack was strung out and the lead pack was just three including me. It was J.D. who recently ran a 1:19 at the TOU Half and Henry Olsen. With less than a mile reaming Henry began fading and it was just me and J.D. I made a little surge and was able to gap J.D and ran the rest of the race comfortably. Except at the finish I had a little scare from a charging J.D so I had to sprint a little to stay safe. Overall the race felt slow and I feel like I could have gone faster. The heat seemed to affect everyone including the Roy kids. Out team finished with a perfect score of 15-45 on both boys and girls races.
