Thanks for a Great Season

Our 2014 season came to a completion with 85 athletes being able to call themselves JMM Boys Cross Country team members. These boys ran many miles, completed workouts like the ladder or Rosa Hills, learned & completed new core strengthening exercises, hung out at socials, and went out at every meet to represent Madison Memorial distance running to the best of their ability. Many personal records were set this season. The team had a team record 6 runners under 17:00 and finally reached our goal of having over half our team under 20:00 (45 out of 85 this season). The bar has been set high for the JV 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. None of our goals are an easy task and none will happen overnight or by one individual. As we look forward to the future we want to give a HUGE 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 these underclassmen to make a plan and set a goal now for the 2015 season. Through hard work and dedication the our next season will be a great season.

Team GPA - 3.419

For the fifth season in a row our team has exceeded our team goal for GPA (3.4 or higher). We saw a dip under 3.5 for the first time in 5 years....KEEP WORKING HARD IN THE CLASSROOM!!! Our team has FOUR student athletes with a 4.0 GPA, who were joined by four other teammates for a perfect 4.0 GPA during the 1st quarter. 81% 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.
