State champions abound -
20 teams and 18 individuals - Preview by John Dye and Aron Taylor.
Weather was cloudy and cool, with light sprinkles.
This is a new regional championship meet for the states of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. Trophies will be awarded to the top three teams and the top three individuals. The champion state will get a rotating trophy.
This is Big Sky country at 4,500 feet elevation. The cross country course runs in one continuous loop over the Highland Golf Course.
Long downhill inclines are offset by long uphill climbs, with enough sharp turns, dips and sidehill lies to keep the runners honest.
