American Fork scored two victories at the UIAAA Invitational.
And Avalon Mecham, the Caveman sophomore, won her second meet of the year. In the 5K race, she won the title in 17:34.28 and earned a 133 speed rating.
Mecham's performance helped American Fork score 32 points and win the team title with an 18:15.69 average for the scoring runners.
Last week, Mecham earned just over 500 tallies, which was about 43-percent of the vote. Congratulations Mecham on this accomplishment.
