Madison Memorial CC: November 2015

THANK YOU for another great season. The 2015 season saw many positives as the boys worked hard all season long to reach their individual and team goals. The JV team won the Big 8 Championship and the varsity squad earned the school's 16th trip to the WIAA State Championship. Our team accomplished these goals due to many miles run, difficult workouts completed like the ladder & Rosa Hills, and dedication towards each other and our goals. The bar has been set high for our team for next season. Our varsity returns an experienced core group with a hungry group of JV runners hoping to make formidable challenges to make our varsity even better next season. As a team we surpassed our academic goal for the fall and hope to see every athlete continue to grow as a student and positive influence on the Madison community. Reaching these goals are not easy task and none will happen overnight or by one individual. As we look forward to the future we want to give a THANK YOU to our graduating seniors. This group of seniors have been a big part of developing our program over the last four years and leave the team in the good hands of the freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. We challenge the next group of JMM distance runners to make a plan and set a goal now next season. Through hard work and dedication the next season can be even better.

Team GPA - 3.430

For the sixth season in a row our team has exceeded our team goal for GPA (3.4 or higher). KEEP WORKING HARD IN THE CLASSROOM!!! Our team has SEVEN student athletes with a 4.0 GPA, who were joined by six other teammates for a perfect 4.0 GPA during the 1st quarter. 79% of our athletes met our individual goal of exceeding 3.0 for their cumulative GPA. Those athletes needing help in the classroom should ask a teammate, talk to their teachers, and get a tutor. There are many options available at Memorial if you take advantage of them. Keep up the great tradition of Memorial Distance Runners in the classroom.
