Team Pictures - Monday - 3:45 - Bring your uniforms!!
What happens when you have athletes who have been working hard at practice and mix with great competition and a fast course? You end up with 53 Season Best PRs and 47 Lifetime Best PRs. The next challenge is, can we keep this success up over the next three weeks and carry it into our championship series events? What we do at practice, for sleep, and staying healthy will play a big part in how much fun we can have as our season comes to a close. I encourage everyone to continue to work hard to improve themselves and their teammates.
It was great to see the start our Frosh/Soph gave us to our meet. Thejas set the mark for our entire team to shoot for. He nearly missed varsity (again) but the competition that has been created for our varsity will make our entire better. This group of guys will be a big part of our future. I can't wait to see what these guys can do with a strong summer of running and another year of maturity. In the varsity race we found out a lot about ourselves in a very tough race. We competed with some of the best teams in the state and learned from this experience. In a race this large, 5 seconds can be 10 places and team places are seperated but just a few points. We put our top five varsity runners under 17:26 and we look forward to continuing to push this group forward in the pack. We are on track to do big things yet this year. In the final race of the day Hunter ran a great race earning back a spot on varsity and leading our entire JV team to a great performance. We beat some great JV teams and got a good look at what it will take to be a top team in the state. There were over 600 people in this race and our kids were able to navigate the crowds to great times. As the meets get smaller again it should be easier for our guys to close up the gaps again between teammates.
Our team put 2 runners under 17:00, 8 under 18:00, 14 under 19:00, 27 under 20:00, 41 under 22:00, and 51 runners under 24:00. We did all of this after a week and half of hard practices. As we began the taper for our junior varsity athletes I hope to see these numbers continue to rise. Our depth is something to be excited about.
