Union Classic

Congrats girls team! Another top finish. You all are improving each race and learning something about racing tactics each time you compete. This was a difficult course but everyone of you ran your guts off and came together in the end.

Tooele Invitational

Saturday was our first meet of the season. We traveled to Settlement canyon near Tooele. The course consisted of pavment, rocky horse trail, a river/creek, and 90' temperatures. The team overall ran very well. The day for us started with the JV boys. Skylar, Brenden, Derek, Dillon and Andrew. The Girls Jv followed, Lacey, Aysha and Jill got some experience and are looking forward to the next meet to keep improving times and reaching goals. Boys varsity took the line knowing that our biggest competition was going to be Wasatch High school. Wasatch is in our region. When the number stacked up we had edged out Wasatch by one point. Way to go boys! Kaleb was 8th overall and first from Carbon, Cody was 2nd, Luke was 3rd, Justin 4th, Aussie was 5th and Brock and Carson were 6th and 7th. The girls varsity was the last race of the day. Regan led the girls with an overall 2nd place finish, Sierra was 4th overall, Diana finished 8th overall barely missing a medaling spot, Karissa was 9th and Kayla was 11th. All five girls were in the top 15. They took home the first place trophy and well see what the season has in store.

High Altitude Running Camp......

Running, laughing, bras, campfire noises, smores.....smores....smores..... yummy food, dead horses, bathroom issues, squirrel noises, bating in the river, fishing, some more running......... good times at High altitude camp 2009 at Joes Valley.

The CCC trail. We called this our own CARBON CROSS COUNTRY TRAIL..... named after us. It was extremely steep and rocky however we found a dead horse and were able to get a two mile run in on it. Thanks to Lukes GPS!

Coach Allens boys..... Don, Dal and KADE! These were our cooks, entertainment, squirrel hunters, fire burners, and good company. Dal was brave to jump off the cliff into the lake. They enjoyed the CCC run when they got to see the dead horse on the trail (YUCK) and found arrow heads and lizards waiting for the athletes to come back. Quite the trail blazers. Don enjoys cooking and he does it well, we all loved all the food and ate tons!

Kayla and Karissa.........

Chillin out waiting for our yummy dinner!!!! Love DON!!!!

The boys and Sierra! Waiting to eat some dinner............

Cliff Jumping into Joes Valley

Entertainment after our CCC run and stumbling upon a dead horse. So much fun we went back on Saturday morning before we left to head home. Coach Allen even jumped and Brenden almost was convinced to do it. It was freezing cold but well worth it. Everyone even my nephew Dal jumped at one point or another.

High Altitude running camp.......

After 3 and half days of running we were loaded up and headed form home. We had ran 20 miles in those three days. Marys lake, Reeder canyon, marina back to camp, loops around Joes valley. We covered a lot of ground in three days.

International Days

Fisrt Road race for most for the season. Luke was first for the boys team and third overall, Regan was first for the girls team and first place overall. Her teamates werent too far behind and they were close amongst themselves. All ran great and I look forward to the Helper Arts festival. Thanks guys for your support to the community. They do a lot for us so Im glad we can return the favor.
