The race
Lehi senior Ryan Raff had his heart set on breaking the state record set by American Fork’s Casey Clinger last year (14:42.9), but he felt himself fall off the pace after two miles in the heat. He fell short of the record but still finished with a 27.7-second victory.
The winner’s quote
“The record definitely kept me going when I was by myself.”
