Twilight combined City Results

Given the size of Desert Twilight, Flagstaff city high school boys ran in three different races:

• Sweepstakes (reserved for the cream of the crop from our state, and those schools and individuals who traveled here from outside our state;
• Championship (great teams, that perhaps didn’t make the cut for the Sweepstakes)
• Small Schools Varsity (less than 1500 students)

Personally, I think Coconino’s team winning the Small School Varsity was very big, and then Flagstaff High School’s boys performance in the Championship race was also noteworthy. 

Results based on times, for all three boys school went as thus:

1. Anthony Sepndlove (Sr); FHS; 16:31; Championship Race; 7th place;
2. Kaleb Sandoval (Frosh); FHS; 16:52; Championship Race; 24th place;
3. Jonathan Hall (Jr); NPA; 16:53; Sweepstakes Race; 73rd place;
4. Cullen Hamblen (Sr); NPA; 16:55; Sweepstakes Race; 76th place;
5. Tyler Endischee (Sr); FHS; 17:09; Championship Race; 32nd place;
6. Michael Vttaviani (Sr); Coco; 17:28; Small Schools Varsity; 12th place;
7. Harrison Thurgood (Sr); Coco; 17:33; Small Schools Varsity; 14th place;
8. Calvin Boerwinkle (Sr); FHS; 17:34; Championship Race; 55th place;
9. Zac Miller (Sr); FHS: 17:34; Championship Race; 56th palce
10. Levi Hatch (Sr); Coco; 17:35; Small Schools Varsity; 17 place;
11. Kendrick Holmes (Frosh); Coco; 17:55; Small Schools Varsity; 27th place;
12. Julian Melvin (Jr.); Coco; 18:00; Small Schools Varsity; 28th place;
13. Nick Schulz (Jr); NPA; 18:09; Small Schools Varsity; 41st pace;
14. Benjamin Hall (Frosh); NPA; 18:53; Small Schools Varsity; 74th place;
15. Ryan Anhold (Soph); NPA; 20:48; Small Schools Varsity; 173rd place.

Scoring this combined effort would make the Flagstaff boys the hands-down winner.

Here’s how I’d score it:

1. FHS — 25 points
2. Coco — 40 points
3. NPA — 50 points

Although Flagstaff looks like the runaway favorite, I’m impressed with how improved Coconino is! Coach Tsosi Taylor has done wonders with bringing his team along, and them coming away as Champions, has to reaffirm all the hard work they have put in to creating an impressive mid-season team!

Besides how impressed Coco performed last night by winning the Small Schools Varsity Championship, Flagstaff HS boys look like the dominant team in the city, as of now.

I’m excited to part of the cross country high school scene here in Flagstaff, and in northern Arizona. It is a dynamic and vibrant environment where one can only be amazed at how well “our kids” perform. We have great coaches, as well as great athletes. And living at 7,000 feet, how could we go wrong?
