Saturday was Grass Relays at Westlake high school. It was a great experience, a pretty good race for me, and a good confidence booster for my cross country season. We took the bus to Westlake, jogged the course, and then races began. I warmed up with Tyler about an hour before and then I had the opportunity to run the first leg of our five-man relay team. It was about 11 when boys varsity started. I ran a 10:36 as timed by my coach, finished my leg in 11th place and handed off to Tyler. We did the best we could and we finished twelth at the meet. Brian, Ali, and Riley raced next and we didn't all have the best races ever, but I'm still proud of all of the guys and it was a good day for PG. We definitely did a lot better than last year which is very encouraging. I was also glad I got to see Zac, Josh, and Seth from Lone Peak, Casey, Carson, Patch and Mckay from American Fork, as well as other friends there. Overall it was a good way to kick off the season.
