All season long, the Park City High School boys cross-country team has chased Springville and Spanish Fork but never found enough speed to take them down. Entering the Region 8 Championships hosted by Spanish Fork, the Miners knew they were going to have to run the perfect race if they were going to emerge victorious – but they came up just short in second place. “We had always just been a bit behind Springville and Spanish Fork in the three times we’ve seen them this season,” coach Steve Cuttitta said. “We had slowly been closing the gap but we knew it would take a lot to make a move at the championships.” Led by senior Reese McGrath, the Miners finished in second place with 55 points, barely ousted by Springville and its 44 points. Maple Mountain finished in third with 84 points while Spanish Fork finished fourth with 108 points. “Even though we didn’t win, we are still going to the state championships with a good frame of mind because getting over the hump of beating Spanish Fork was big for us, very big,” Cuttitta said.

Miners’ No. 1 runner all season long, accomplished one of his goals by being named as the individual champion at the Region finals. He finished in a time of 15 minutes, 41.4 seconds, three seconds ahead of second-place finisher, senior Jackson Adams of Springville. According to Cuttitta, McGrath was “courageous” in his race, jumping out into the lead at about the 1.5-mile marker and taking off. He opened such a wide gap and was able to sustain that lead the rest of the race, with nobody threatening him once he took off. “After what Reese did I couldn’t be more proud of him,” Cuttitta said. “Before the race, he told me he was going to go for it, so he essentially said, ‘Here I am, come and get me if you can,’ and no one was able to do so. His ability to control the race was impressive.” McGrath was far from the only star for Park City on the day. Sophomore Wes Campbell, who finished eighth in a time of 15:57.9, deserved as much credit for McGrath’s victory as McGrath did, according to Cuttitta. Campbell was the one who jumped out to the early lead and set the pace faster than what most teams were expecting. This allowed McGrath time to settle in and find his groove while most of the other runners were just trying to play catch up from the get-go because of Campbell. “Wes led the race early on and really set the tempo for us and the rest of the runners,” PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Park City junior Will Henry, right, pushes hard at the end of his race at the Park City Invitational on Sept. 27 at Quinn’s Junction. Henry finished in 17th place at the Region 8 Championships last Friday, helping the Miners earn a berth at the upcoming 5A state championships on Oct. 23 at Sugar House Park in Salt Lake City following their second-place finish at the Region 8 championships. Cuttitta said. “He really kick started Reese in his race and that helped lead to our second place finish.” Rounding out the boys side The Heber-Kamas Ranger District maintains trails and campgrounds in the Uinta Mountains east of Kamas.

The Park Record Reese McGrath’s goal since last year when he ended his junior season on the Park City cross-country team has been to be the region champion. That goal came to fruition last Friday when McGrath took home the Region 8 individual championship with a time of 15 minutes and 41.4 seconds.

The “I knew I had it in me and I got myself in the mindset that I’m going to win the race,” McGrath said. “I mentally prepared myself beforehand, which gave me the confidence to go out and actually do it.” Initially, though, the race did not begin as planned for McGrath. Knowing that he has a very good kick at the end of races, McGrath usually waits until the final stretch before he makes his move and picks up the pace. But that wasn’t the case on Friday as teammate Wes Campbell set out on a blistering pace to begin the race. “Honestly I got kind of ner- vous because Wes jumped out right away and some of my top competitors went with him,” McGrath said. “I didn’t know if they could keep that pace up but I was more afraid of falling so far behind that I wouldn’t be able to catch them in the end. … So I took off with them.” At about the mile an a half marker, and after running with the lead group the whole way, McGrath decided to make his move and take off. He began pulling away, almost daring the other runners to “come and catch me,” according to head coach Steve Cuttitta. “I was thinking I went out too hard so this could be a prob- Weather Temperatures: WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY Mild with sunshine and a few clouds Clouds and sun, a shower in the p.m. Mostly sunny and cooler Mostly cloudy Mostly cloudy, rain and snow possible Winds: S 6-12 mph Winds: SSW 8-16 mph Winds: WNW 6-12 mph Winds: S 6-12 mph Winds: W 7-14 mph 70°/44° 65°/33° 48°/30° 50°/29° 38°/29° High for the week ................................ 67° Low for the week ................................. 15° Precipitation: Total for the week ............................. trace ACCUWEATHER UV INDEX TM Ogden 71/50 Elko 77/42 Salt Lake City 77/52 SUN AND MOON Wednesday ......
