West Invite - Varsity = 2nd JV = 4th

I was really impressed with our team effort last night. 17 new life time personal bests!!!! and even more season bests!!! Jordan C. became our first runner under 17 minutes this season and is just waiting for his teammates to join him. Our top 5 in varsity was at and under 18 minutes, we want that group to be under 17:30 by the end of the year. Hunter and Jordan B got there first varsity experience and learned alot from the new race experience. Our top JV guys need to continue to attack their races (we are in better shape than we are currently racing....it is mental...go compete).

As a team it was fun to get a trophy and place as well as we did. Our hard work and summer running is paying off. As I talked with the varsity about...this should become the expectation. We continue to move our varsity guys into Verona's pack and will need to do so throughout the year. We were able to beat West and Craig but they were both missing some key contributors, we will need to continue to improve to make sure we stay ahead of them. If we keep pulling single digits with our top runners and close the gap with our pack we will see lots more success throughout the year.

In JV we were missing some key competitors but up front we need to be willing to go run with the leaders. I am confident we will be able to compete with all these conference teams by the end of the year. Keep working hard in practice and take that chance during a meet to allow yourself to succeed.
