Here's a recap of the UHSAA sanctioned high school cross country meets this past weekend across Utah
Brighton picked up a pair of team victories Saturday morning at the Husky Run, hosted by Hillcrest at Valley Regional Park in Taylorsville. The Bengals won the boys race with 49 points and the girls race with 53, topping a field that included teams from across classifications.
Ogden senior Avery Barton was the girls individual winner, pulling away to finish in 17:43.92 — more than 36 seconds clear of Brighton junior Bridget Smit (18:20.00). Rich senior Lyda Taylor ran third in 19:14.76 but did not have a full team scoring. Brighton placed four runners in the top 16 to hold off Ogden (67), while Woods Cross (87), Union (89) and Copper Hills (90) were bunched tightly for third through fifth.
Brighton junior Whittaker Bettis led the boys race from start to finish in 15:53.43. West Jordan sophomore Elliot Johns (16:09.42) and Morgan senior Caleb Lewis (16:13.38) rounded out the top three. West Jordan placed second as a team at 59 behind a solid group that included Andoni Garcia (4th) and Samuel Ferre (14th), with Ogden third at 70. Brighton's five scorers all finished in the top 20.
