The Region 20 cross country teams are killing it this season! On the girls varsity teams, Bryce Valley and Panguitch have been trading off between first and second place.
Bryce Valley’s JV boys team, on the other hand, has won every single race this year, picking up some “serious hardware” for BV.
Valley Meet
The Valley meet on October 13 followed the same pattern. Every year this meet is one of the favorites for its green fields on the Thunderbird Golf Course in Mt. Carmel. It was a beautiful day, though a bit hot.
For some the heat proved to be a problem, but many runners came quite prepared for the sun. This meet was a fun challenge for the 1A runners because a couple of 2A schools also joined in the mix. Athletes from North Sevier and Kanab gave these small schools a bit of a run for their money.
