TITANS 6TH / 7TH AT STATE!!
The Titans capped off a great year with the Boys finishing 6th in State and the Girls 7th. Except for golf, these are the highest State finishes at Syracuse. Very impressive results from some great student/athletes.
State was run over the hilly 3.0 mile course at Sugarhouse Park in SLC. Hannah Williams completed a perfect season- our #1 finisher in every race- by placing 12th in 19:21. She just missed making the All-State Team. McKayla Williams was right behind placing 22nd in 19:42. Mikelann Wilcox was one of the top freshman finishers in the race placing 46th in 20:21. Abby Rich battled injuries all season but still came through to run 20:33 to place 53rd. Kiana Tebbs’ 21:14 was good enough to place 70th, while Taylee Hamblin capped of a great first year by placing 79th in 21:32. Aubrey Eddy’s 23:15 was good enough for 104th. Aubrey’s value to the TEAM should not be measured in the points she scored. Having her lead by example was far more important to our success. The combined times of our top five was 2:40 faster than last year at State. Hannah and McKayla made the State All-Time list for the course and Mikelann just missed it.
Austin Costley also made it a perfect season as he was again our top finisher. He placed 22nd overall while running 16:28. Jake Rossmango’s 16:50 was good enough for 38th. Preston Williams capped off a great sophomore year finishing 53rd in 17:05. Phillip Helms wound up his senior year by placing 62nd in 17:13. Freshman Brandon Yardley had a great race placing 67th in 17:16. He was the 4th freshman finisher in the race. Dallin Riggs battled a cold and still placed 89th while running 17:44. Tyrell Pearce finished 98th even though he was running on a sprained ankle. His time was 17:54. Austin and Jake made the State All-Time list for the course.
This was a great TEAM effort by the Titans. And that means all 35 members, not just the 14 who ran.
NOW WHAT
Those needing a little time to get some injuries heeled up should do so now. If healthy, keep running. STORY: As a sophomore, Jared was about the #12-15 runner at Davis. He wanted to be better. As a junior, he was 3rd in State in XC. He wanted to be better. As a senior, he was the 5A XC MVP, national Foot Locker finalist, won three firsts at State in Track, and ran the fastest 5000 for any high school runner in Utah history. How did he do it? He committed himself to become the best he could possibly become even though he didn’t know where that might lead.
Continued improvement as an individual and TEAM should be the goal of everyone. Let’s start working now towards bringing home some hardware from the 2009 State Championships.

Titan XC Update - Oct 20, 2008
WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES!!
A year ago, the Titan Boys placed last in the region with a score of 204 points, 30 behind 7th place. In 2008, they placed 2nd behind defending 5A State Champion Davis, 28 points ahead of 3rd place Weber. In 2007, the average time of the five scoring boys was 18:33. This year- 16:55. Impressive. The Lady Titans also showed dramatic change moving up from a 4th place finish in 2007 to also place 2nd behind nationally-ranked Davis. They also improved the average time for the top five from 20:38 to 20:11.
GIRLS RESULTS
As expected, Davis won the title and there was a tight battle for the next three spots. The Lady Titans scored 72 points to narrowly finish ahead of Weber (78) and Fremont (89). Layton finished with 134 points to secure the last spot at State. Hannah Williams struggled a little but still finished strong to place 9th in 19:30. McKayla Williams had her fastest mile average time of the year running 19:55 to finish 13th. Abby Rich also had her best race of the year as her 20:15 was good enough for 15th. Mikelann Wilcox had another great race to place 17th in 20:37, one spot ahead of Kiana Tebbs 18th place finish. This was Kiana’s best mile average of the year. Taylee Hamblin improved her best 3-mile time by 33 seconds to 20:54 to place 24th. Aubrey Eddy had her best race of the year as she ran 22:49 to finish 41st.
In the Junior Varsity race, Hilary Peterson ran great to finish 6th in 21:22. Running well to help Syracuse finish 3rd in the J.V. team race, were Sasha Russell (16th, 24:00), Mckenna Peterson (19th, 24:12), Haley Busby (24th, 24:38) and Kylin Long (27th, 29:00).
BOYS RESULTS
Once again, Davis took home the TEAM title. The Titans scored 69 points to place 2nd ahead of Weber (97), Fremont (130) and Viewmont (135).
Seven of the eight entered in the Varsity race had their best per mile averages of the year in an impressive TEAM performance. All ran smart making up several places over the last mile of the race. Austin Costley’s 16:33 was good enough to place 5th overall. Jake Rossmango (11th, 16:45) and Preston Williams (12th, 16:47) narrowly missed making the All-Region Team. Phillip Helms (20th, 17:15), Tyrell Pearce (21st, 17:16) and Brandon Yardley (22nd, 17:17) finished right together to ice the TEAM finish. Dallin Riggs was close behind running 17:28 to place 27th. Kyle Kelly ran 18:14 as a non-scorer in the Varsity race. This was over three minutes faster than he ran last year.
The J.V. Boys finished 4th. Alex Garrett (22nd, 18:35), Willis Ellsworth (23rd, 18:38) and Weston Atkins (24th, 18:38) finished right together to give us a good pack. Cody Trease (27th, 18:51), CJ Scothern (28th, 18:54), Steven Wilcox (29th, 19:17) and Christian Smith (30th, 19:19) were the other scoring athletes. Also running well were Nick Hilton (19:20), Dylan Rossmango (19:36), Clayton Bergloff (21:38), Grant Patterson (21:52), Ben Smith (22:28), Tyler Kutterer (22:42), and Kel Davis (23:54). Alex, Weston, Cody, CJ, and Dylan had their fastest per-mile averages of the year.
PERSONAL NOTE
This is about the 25th season I’ve coached Cross Country on the high school level. During that time I’ve been fortunate to have coached several teams that have won Region titles. This pair of 2nd-place finishes ranks right up there with any of the titles. To place that high after only two years is a real credit to a great group of hard-working and dedicated athletes.
ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as the Athletes of the Week were Aubrey Eddy and Clayton Bergloff, who have put in two great years of being quiet leaders of the TEAM. Their importance cannot be measured in the points that they score, but in how much they have pushed and helped others. These seniors will be missed!!
STATE TEAM PARTY
The Costley family will host the TEAM at a pasta dinner Tuesday evening at 5:30 pm.
STATE INFORMATION
State is this Wednesday. The Girls 5A race will begin at 3:30, the Boys at 4:00. Students will be excused at 12:00 and the bus will leave about 12:30. Parents: If you are planning on attending, the race is held at Sugarhouse Park in SLC. It’s tough to find parking- allow plenty of time.
STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS OUTLOOK
Davis High should easily defend their Girls’ title. The battle for second should come from American Fork, Bingham, Timpanogos, Skyline, Jordan, Alta and, yes, the Lady Titans. Individually, Jordan’s Danielle Menlove has won about everything she’s entered this year. 2006 Champion Shalaya Kipp of Skyline and Davis’ Candace Eddy may give her a battle.
For the Boys, Alta should prevent Davis from their third straight title. The Darts and American Fork should battle for 2nd and 3rd. After that, it’s all open between Copper Hills, Kearns, Hillcrest, Timpanogos, Weber and Syracuse. Individually, Davis’ Seth Gutzwiller has been running very well. Hillcrest’s Jason Lynch, Lone Peak’s Steve Morrin and Timpanogos’ Matt Liddle could challenge.

Update - October 13, 2008
Titan XC Update - Oct 13, 2008
OPEN REGION MEET AT FREMONT
There were some great performances at Fremont even though we just treated the meet as part of our last week of training prior to Region. The goal was to run conservative without taking any chances that might create or aggravate injuries. We also didn’t want to push so hard that there might be problems with lingering fatigue at Region. The outcome of the meet in that sense was successful. With all eight school in the region competing, the Titans finished 4th in both races while running conservatively. Even so, many had their fastest races of the year over the flat, three-mile course.
Hannah Williams again led the Lady Titans placing 4th in 18:57. McKayla Williams’ 20:07 was good enough for 12th. She was closely followed by Mikelann Wilcox, who had her best race of the year, running 20:19 to place 14th. Kiana Tebbs (27th, 20:58) and Taylee Hamblin (34th, 21:31) also had their fastest races of the year to round out the top five Lady Titans. Sasha Russell, Haley Busby, Tiffany Reed, Mckenna Peterson and Kylin Long also had their fastest per-mile averages of the year.
After running very conservatively for the first two miles (in about 35th place), Austin Costley moved up to finish 17th in 16:53. Using the same strategy to move up greatly were Phillip Helms (25th, 17:08), Preston Williams (30th, 17:22), Dallin Riggs (35th, 17:33) and Jake Rossmango (52nd, 17:55). Kyle Kelly and Brandon Yardley were right behind running 17:59 and 18:00. Willis Ellsworth, Alex Garrett, CJ Scothern, Nick Hilton, Christian Smith, Steve Wilcox, Dylan Rossmango, Grant Patterson and Ben Smith had their fastest per-mile averages of the year.
Even running a little under control, this was a great performance. It shows we are ready to “turn is loose” at Region.
ATHLETES OF THE WEEK
Chosen as Athletes of the Week were Sasha Russell, who has only missed two practices since June 2nd (and has been on time twice since June 2nd) and Alex Garrett, who ran about 15 seconds per mile faster than any other race this year. While distance running isn’t Sasha’s “forte”, she nevertheless works hard knowing it will help her in Track and Field. The same can be said for Alex, who has not missed a practice in over two months.
REGION TEAM PARTY
Coach Rob Wilcox will host the TEAM at a pasta dinner Tuesday evening at 6:00 pm. His address is 1414 north, 5000 west in West Point.
REGION ONE CHAMPIONSHIPS
The meet will be held Wednesday, October 15th at Layton City Park. The schedule will be:
1:15- Excused from class
1:30- Bus leaves
3:00- Girls’ Junior Varsity Race
3:30- Boys’ Junior Varsity Race
4:00- Girls’ Varsity Race
4:30- Boys’ Varsity Race
5:15- Awards
REGION CHAMPIONSHIPS OUTLOOK
Davis High looks to be a lock for both Region titles. The Dart boys will try to make it 14-straight titles while the girls will be going for #4. While an upset is possible, the real battle will probably be for second place. In both races, Syracuse, Weber and Fremont should be the contenders. Weber may have a slight edge, but watch out for the Titans. At full strength, running with intelligence and intensity, Syracuse will have a great shot at finishing second- a great accomplishment.
Individually, Meghan Hedquist, Emily Hansen, Candace Eddy and Katie Swanson of Davis, Allyson Deeter of Weber, Amy Allred of Layton, and our own Hannah Williams should lead the charge for the title. Davis’ Seth Gutzwiller is running very well and will be hard to beat. Weber’s Russ Carnahan, Layton’s Tyson Butler and Austin Costley have been the top runners most of the year in the region.
One thing for certain: you will see about 300 athletes giving 100% and trying to do their individual best while helping their teams.

The Boys Varsity also ran a great race placing 12th overall and they were also 7th among 5A schools. To show the improvement over last year, the combined time of the five scoring runners this year was eight minutes faster than our top five last year.

A coach can’t ask for more.
CONGRATS HALEY
Congratulations to Haley Busby for representing Syracuse City (and Syracuse Cross Country) at the Utah Miss Outstanding Teen pageant. The fact that she didn’t win proves that it was fixed!!!
