Big 8 Split Meet - Varstiy = 1st JV = 2nd

What can I say? You never know what you are going to get when you run in the Big 8 Split Meet but I was very happy with how our team performed. We were the only team to have our entire varsity compete. Our varsity used it as a nice workout and Prashanth rebounded wonderfully from his Midwest meet to set a personal best. Another 13 season bests run as we start to near the taper period for our junior varsity athletes. I'm really looking forward to what we can do this weekend at the Stoughton Meet. Lets do everything we can to stay healthy, be rested, and mentally prepared to set PRs and compete at Stoughton.

Things to remember...gloves and hats are recommended for practices and races (solid colors for races or JMM logos). Long sleeves are going to be needed...only solid black under uniform in the race (with one logo--under armor needs to tape up one logo). Bring layers to meets to stay warm for all parts of the day.

Next Meet: Saturday 10/3 - Stoughton Invite
First Race: 9:30am
Boys Varsity: 10:05am
Boys JV: 11:15am
Awards: 12:15pm

Everyone must stay through the cool down after the JV race ~ 12pm. We will not be stopping to eat on the way home but there will be concessions at the meet.
