Cooper Boyle is gearing up for another state championship this week at Mt. Tahoma. After being sick at districts, he’s looking forward for what the weekend has in store.

That’s not the only thing Cooper is gearing up for. He is deferring his scholarship at Utah State University until after his two year church mission in Samoa. While there he will learn the local language, learn new dishes, and serve the locals.

Before going abroad, Cooper has a few races he’s looking forward to and hoping to win another state title after this fall’s 4A cross country state meet.
