I'm very proud of everything our varsity accomplished this season. Unfortunately, our team was unable to qualify for state today and this is what is on our mind the most. I think our season accomplishments are much bigger than today's performance. I am so proud of the guys who stepped up this season to make our varisty and jv squads so much deeper. We have some young guys that gained some important experience this season who will be expected to step up as leaders in the coming years. All of this helped get Jonah to the point of being a state qualifier. Jordan B. had a good race today and missed being an individual qualifier by one second. Jordan has been a great leader for this varsity over the past four years and I wish he had one more CC race this season but has many future races in his running career. Bryce and Brad had very solid races today and will be part of leading this program in the future. I look forward to these guys really growing into their own as leaders of the team. Sam had a rough race today but has a ton of heart and desire for running. I have no doubt in my mind that Sam will do the right things in the coming weeks, months, and years to make sure he can always continue to be a huge part of this program. Ben A. and Hunter H. are our other two seniors who had great seasons. They both put forth great effort each day and will be hard to replace these guys desire.
Today was a great day for Jonah and he will represent JMM CC proudly at state in 2011. Even bigger for me as a coach was the turnout of JV runners, parents, and JMM fans supporting the team. I was proud to see so many people involved in supporting our athletes and I look forward to this excitement around our program. We can/should be a team that is always wondering what place we will finish at state...not sectionals. BUT to make this happen we have to put in the hard work on a daily basis...it will not just be given to us.
