Bob Firman Results/Bear Lake

Nice solid effort in Boise this weekend! The Girls scored their first ever trophy by placing 3rd. Complete results are HERE.

We will compete at Bear Lake on Wednesday. The bus will leave at 2 p.m. The middle school athletes will run at 4 p.m., followed by the varsity boys at 4:30, then the girls approximately 10 minutes later. Time to avenge that loss to Soda!

Star Valley Invite Results/Bob Firman

I have the results from Thursday's home meet. I'm still trying to get them on athletic.net. Both the boys and girls took 2nd. The girls fell short by one measly point to Soda Springs, despite running 1,2,3...ladies we have some work to do. The boys finished a more distant second to Teton, charging out hard early but falling off the pace a bit. It will be fun to compare our times 4 weeks from now at regionals. Now time to do some more work!

The bus will leave Friday morning at 8 a.m. Dress in good school clothes for the trip. We will be stopping in Pocatello and Twin Falls on the way up. We will check into our hotel and go and run the course at Eagle Island State Park, come home, change, and get some dinner. Remember you are responsible for your meals the first day, we will take care of you on Saturday. Race schedule can be found here. We will run in the Division 1 races, and either the first or second of the JV races. This is the big daddy for the year, over 2900 race participants are registered!

Tiger - Grizz Results

Tiger-Grizz results are now on athletic.net. We will be racing at home this Thursday. The Middle School race starts at 2:20, followed by the girls, then the boys races. Evanston, Soda Springs, Teton, and of course Star Valley will be racing at the Afton Golf Course 1 mile South of Town. We are looking for volunteers so let us know...time to defend our house!

Cardinal Classic/Tiger-Grizz

The results from the Cardinal Classic this last weekend can be found HERE. We took a big stride forward this week. We are pleased with your desire to improve and compete. The weather was hot and the competition even hotter. Way to get after it. We will leave on Friday at 12:30 for the Tiger-Grizz (meet info/link to Google Map) meet at Freeman Park in Idaho Falls. This will be another chance to take your shots at the best teams in the State of Idaho. Time to close those gaps and get after it!

Pocatello Results/BBQ/Soda Springs

Blast from the past--Ashley and Hailey as MS runners in 2006 on the Cardinal Classic Course


Results are in from the Pocatello race. SVXC endured some tough hills and hot sun to finish 4th of 10 for both guys and girls. Complete results can be found HERE.

We will also be having a potluck BBQ please bring your parents and a salad Thursday night at 6:00 outside the cafeteria. We will go over rules, schedule, eat, and enjoy each others company.

The bus will be leaving at 6:30 from the HS. We will head North and pick up athletes at Thayne and Silverstar before heading to the meet at Kelly Park in Soda Springs. We will be home mid-afternoon. Kelly Park is the site for the 2010 Idaho State Championships so it will be a big meet with plenty of competition. Get ready to roll, red machine, roll.
