Payson Boys Cross Country lose a heartbreaker

Submitted by katie.kelly on

In the Region 8 championship meet on Friday October 2, 2020 Payson boys were edged out for the championship by 1 point. Payson was a slight favorite entering the race and ran their hearts out but couldn’t quite overcome an injury to their #3 runner. Springville finished with a score of 62 followed by Payson at 63. Maple Mountain finished 3rd with 79 points. Payson had 7 runners finish the 3 mile course under 17 minutes. Colby Orton, Adam Pray, Caden Rasmussen, and Spencer Bennett all finished in the top 20. Jackson Fitzwater, Dylan Whitney and Kasen Johnson followed closely behind. Payson will be running in the divisional meet on Friday October 9 at Lakeside Park in Orem followed by the State meet at Soldier Hollow on October 22. These are an amazing group of young men and possibly the best overall team I have had the privilege of coaching. Good luck to them as they close out the season.
