Wasatch Back Relay - Run EMC

In 2007 our fearless team captain Craig Romrell put together a very strong squad. He managed the team to perfection, which allowed for the talent of those around him to shine. Before the race had finished however, it was apparent that our great leader was already thinking about the year to come. Like all great team managers, he was looking to the future and always looking for ways to better the squad. Craig wanted to line up the stars early on so he began to draft those closest two him. In fact, just two rooms down the hall from his quarters resided two talented men ready for the challenge. Both Brian and Evan Romrell responded positively and were poised for the action. After that, Craig moved on to seek others close to him. His sights were now on Jeremy. This stallion that runs with NBA headbands was probably contacted during a casual Sunday dinner at the Romrell household. Jeremy Jensen must have been excited and eager to join the squad because he even offered his car for the event. With sacrifices like that Craig knew he had a strong teammate. The team tally had risen to four and Craig went looking for more. Once again Craig expanded his search in hopes of finding more teammates. He didn’t have to go far. Within a two-minute walk from his house, Craig acquired four more runners. Just down Arnett Dr. rested Scott a youthful man eager run in the moon light, around the bend was Randi Olson, a strong marathoner that continually toasts grown men in local marathons, up the street was Burk Hills “Mr. Cross Country” himself and up the road from him was Scott Bernhisel who runs to the top of Mill Creek Canyon on his off days. Quickly the squad number had risen to eight committed runners and Craig did something that most team managers rarely do. Craig decided to outsource runners through Randi and Scott. This was difficult for our team manager because he did not know the runners that would be joining his squad. He was uncertain if the team chemistry would flow properly. With doubts and concerns Craig moved forward with faith and waited for the results. As Scott and Randi both assured him, they came up with four more solid runners. Paige Reese and Stacey Snow made an appearance. Both seasoned marathoners ready for race action. Scott drafted two people from out of state David Thorne a long time runner and cyclist and Adam Thorne his son, who holds several multi-regional X-country titles. Together they completed the squad and team Run EMC was race ready.
