Good evening TNHSXC family. The season feels real now that we've had our first HS scrimmage and hosted our first Popsicle Race. I just wanted to send along HUGE KUDOS for our team.
Last night, they braved the oppressive heat, crazy-hard course, and threw down some really strong efforts. There a too many fantastic efforts to list but Jarrett and Tyler put on a clinic, new runners (like Allison, Sierra, Edena, Megan and all freshman boys) emerged and flexed their muscles, returners showed some serious grit like Hope and Darien braving that second lap. Nada, Champayne, Samantha and Maggie all ran strong laps. Boys picked up right where they left off (the Brandon and Justin battles), Timmy and Justin killing it. We are looking fantastic. I would've posted those times tonight, but I left them at school.
I did however post the Popsicle Race times to popsicleraces.blogspot.com. Our HS kids did a fantastic job hosting 60+ young runners. People took notice of the leadership demonstrated by our kids and paid them all some very fine compliments about how the HS runners handled putting on tonight's event. All the while, the future of our program was killing it. Just a couple highlights were Sydney Newton blowing away the 1k field. Clay Dones crushing the 3k, followed by Sierra Meza in 2nd (two races in two nights!), Ethan Vance, Lane Hoyes, Awstin Pentecost, and Edena Gass (also two races in as many days) all rocking the top ten in the 3k. New little brothers and sisters too - Cruz Meza, Jackson Middleton and Kaylee Vance. Hayley Pentecost too, running so strong. I always miss someone in these rants - just know how proud I am of all of our kids.
The future of this program looks really bright. Let's keep it going by continuing to recruit - we have new kids joining daily.
To our COURAGE and GROWTH MINDSET!
Matt
