A time gap of 50 seconds for your one through seven runners is unheard of. It's a tribute to how well they work as a team. Although it's an individual sport, they really buy into the team aspect. |
All of the girls got great racing experience running with a lot of good kids. (In) a lot of races in the mountains, the girls get into running by themselves, but in this race, they had people all around them. |
Connor is a true competitor. I've been able to see him from afar in soccer and basketball. But it was pretty impressive to see it up close. |
Erika had a breakthrough race. October is the month when she flips on the switch. Molly is getting back into the form we know she can run. |
Five of the top 10 teams in the Southwest region will be there. We will use this as a measuring bar. |
He has been focusing on this race for a few weeks now. |
He was out for 10 days, and just came back Monday. He's in great shape. |
He was the hero of the day. We were battling Montrose for second or third place, and Jake passed two Montrose kids in the last 50 meters to make a huge swing in the points totals. Last year he was our 7th runner or top JV running, so he's really stepped up and filled the gap. |
Heidi was a queen today. She did a great job running all those relays. |
I was really pleased with that considering we raced all 5A teams. |
It looks like he's recovering from his trip to New Zealand (to run in the world trail running championships). |
It takes us getting on the track to get that accountability of speed. |
It was a great day for all of our kids to get together in a meet. They showed a lot of encouraging results. It was nice to dust of some of the rust. You can expect rust when you have 4 feet of snow on the ground. |
It was fantastic to have a meet at our own track. It was great to have Aspen and Eagle Valley over and have a local meet. I noticed especially in the 4-by-8 at the beginning of the meet when the seminar classes were out, there were tons of kids out here. They definitely ran faster with the kids out. It's neat to have a home track advantage. |
It was one of the best days Battle Mountain cross country has ever had. |
