Regional Championship Meet

Congratulations to both the boys and girls teams for qualifying for the state meet at today's region meet. Each team met our goal of finishing 2nd in the meet.  Grace and Gracie cracked the top 10 individual places, and the boys put their finishers in order, 13,14,15,16,17.  Marist won both divisions, but we have positioned ourselves for a run at a top 10 (perhaps top 5) ranking at Carrollton.

Twelve  more days to fine tune.  We will have our usual Saturday session this week and will alternate long easy days with a few days of hills and hard intervals.  PLEASE plan to be at practice every day if at all possible.  Running as a team in a tight pack has gotten us to state, now let's use that ability to run together to put us in a position to get a trophy November 9th.

See all of you tomorrow.  All 12 go to state.  7 will run.  Be ready if we call your name.
