Although the boys' team ran some of their best times, we didn't have the depth we needed to win these meets. |
He is a very strong runner and also very smart in his races. |
He was very focused on his race strategy as soon as we got to the meet that morning. |
I am very proud of him; he works hard at every practice. |
I expect them to be top runners in future seasons. |
I have two guys who have the potential to go to state this year. |
I knew going into the meet that it would be a close race for the girls' team. I told them that our teams are very similar and they were going to have to work extra hard if they wanted to bring home a victory. |
In the first mile and a half of the race, we were beating Napoleon by one point and were up by even more to Vandercook. |
It was the perfect day for running, mid-60s and overcast. This is a very nice course and both boys and girls' teams like running there. |
Jenny has been working on her form and it really paid off this meet. She looked 10 times better than in previous races. |
They ran during the hottest part of the day. The course really doesn't have any shade; it is all out in the open. I think it got to some of them. |
We also had three runners out because of injuries. I am hoping with the right amount of rest and ice they will be ready for the next meet as it will be our first conference dual meet. |
