ot a bad year for Riverton runners. Both Riverton High’s cross-country teams finished in the top six at the state meet, which took place at the Regional Athletic Complex in Salt Lake City, with the girls coming in at sixth and the boys repeating their 2021 finish taking third. The boys average time was under 16 minutes at state with the top five runners ranging from 15:32 to 15:58. “Usually you’re a national caliber team if you can average a sub 16,” said Chase Englestead, Riverton’s head cross country coach. “There’s not been many teams in Utah that have done it.” The third-place finish saw them land just two points behind second-placed Lone Peak and 25 points ahead of region rival Herriman. “We returned an extremely good boys team,” Englestead said of the crew that reached the same place last year with the bronze medal. “We’re stoked with it overall, I think a few of the boys have high expectations and because of those, it has taken a little bit of the joy out of it,” he said. “Sometimes that happens where you expect to be at a certain place and then you don’t get it even though you did something really cool and really good.” Since 2017, when the 6A classification was formed, the boys have finished third now four times, with a fifth and seventh place filling out the other two years.
