Despite the warmth from the humidity today, it was another positive step and improvement for both the boys and the girls teams. We ended up with 10 Personal Bests and 8 Seasonal Bests, with a number of others that were close on their times, which says a lot for how hard they worked not only today, but for the whole week. Team placings are starting to show more for it as well, with the Girls Varsity taking 8th out of 13 teams and the Boys Varsity 13 out of 22 teams while Boys JV was 11th out of 18 schools. That's a big improvement and shows we are moving in the right direction, but we still have some work to do and we know the runners that we have are able to move up more, we just need to continue to make it fun and have patience with them all, and if they are ready, they will show us.
Next up will be the Team Time Trial, the Cardinal Cup/Hoka One 2 mile on Wednesday evening at Cardinal Stadium. Originally we have it scheduled for 8:00pm due to high school conferences, but we are going to bump it up to 7:00pm so that the runners can get home sooner and get some food in them to recover before they need to go to bed.
Two other items of note, a reminder for the runners that for practice tomorrow they are to get ready right after school and meet outside of Door 3 of the high school (old main entrance) at 2:30. Middle Schoolers will meet in the regular area when they get to practice. Also, we had an optional practice for Saturday morning, but we are going to call that off due to the work they have done this week and that they had to do a lot of that in the heat.
Thanks for all of those that made it out tonight!
