Their times were fabulous. The only team the guys didn't beat was Grand Junction, which is a 5A school.
although buy gap individual runners seconds seven team time tribute unheard work
A time gap of 50 seconds for your one through seven runners is unheard of. It's a tribute to how well they work as a team. Although it's an individual sport, they really buy into the team aspect.

It's a fantastic start to the season. The girls definitely won on the strength of their team effort. They had several strong finishes, but nobody in the top 10.

They got beat by the three best teams in the state.

The teams ahead of them in the poll were not there, so they know they have their work cut out of them. They have two months of hard work ahead of them. They can't relax, and they aren't going to be content with their performance (Thursday).

It takes us getting on the track to get that accountability of speed.
aspen beginning classes definitely eagle fantastic faster great home kids local meet neat noticed ran seminar tons track valley
It was fantastic to have a meet at our own track. It was great to have Aspen and Eagle Valley over and have a local meet. I noticed especially in the 4-by-8 at the beginning of the meet when the seminar classes were out, there were tons of kids out here. They definitely ran faster with the kids out. It's neat to have a home track advantage.
dust expect feet great kids nice rust snow together
It was a great day for all of our kids to get together in a meet. They showed a lot of encouraging results. It was nice to dust of some of the rust. You can expect rust when you have 4 feet of snow on the ground.
pleased
I was really pleased with that considering we raced all 5A teams.
beaten certain few finish held normally sat top
It was SAT day, so I know for certain (Mountain View) held out one of their top runners, but if she were to finish where she normally does, we still would have beaten them by a few points.
won
They were just fantastic. We were without Leslie Peterson, and they still won by 41 points.
