On Thursday October 1, PHS cross country team hosted two time Olympian Jillian Williams and her husband Dustin who is the head trainer for the US Olympic track team. Jill is a former US record holder for shot put. She won the silver medal at the 2011 World Games and another silver medal in the Pan Am Games in 2015. Her story of overcoming devastating injuries to be able to compete and triumph in world class competition was an inspiration to the team.

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.

Throughout the summer a group of athletes from Payson High have been running the town from the top of Payson Canyon to West Mountain to Elk Ridge and everywhere in between. Their hard work is beginning to pay off as the cross country season has officially started. The senior varsity boys cross country team is currently ranked #1 in region after a solid pre-region win against the other Region 8 teams on August 22. On Saturday September 5 they ran against some of the best teams in Utah which are also some of the best in the nation.
