Region Race

Hi everybody!

We just got information about the state meet. It will be next Tuesday, October 20th starting at 5:00 p.m. (boys), and girls immediately following. It is the same place, Cottonwood Regional Softball Complex, 4400 S. 1300 E. Holladay. 

Good news--the course will be the same as the regional meet, so our team will already know the course.  Map.  Let's plan to line up early and get a good spot on the start line! Please be there at 4:30, and we will meet by the finish line.

  • I'd like to have a team party as soon as we start school again, maybe on Tuesday? Let me know if that wouldn't work for you. We will also plan to take team pictures that day so we need everyone there.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      
  • Just a reminder--practice at 10 on Friday morning, for 45 minutes at the Riverton High Track.                                                                                                                                                                       
  • Practice Monday morning at 10 at the CR Hamilton baseball fields for 40 minutes, 138th South and 3600 West.
