Good morning TNHSXC family. Thank you, thank you, a thousand times - THANK YOU! The fantastic support you'all showed our program last night was invaluable in making that meet happen. I takes a village, and the kids and I are so lucky to have such an amazing XC family. I love the pic below of our first full girls team of the year. Super proud of all of the kids in all the races. We had a lot of first races, new PR's and some gutsy performances. Results are attached.
Now we get race at someone else's meet!
Or do we? Below is the amended schedule for the Run for the Gold in E'town. They are moving all of the races earlier in the day due to heavy rains that are expected to soak the grounds. Because the portable lighting systems are so big and heavy, they cannot get them in place without destroying everything they drive over. If it gets too bad, they may have to cancel. Read below -
Coaches:
Here is our new time schedule for Saturday's meet. We still hope and plan to have the meet, but again, we are at the mercy of the Sports Park. Please stay tuned. 1:00 p.m. Boys Elementary Race 1:30 p.m. Girls Elementary Race 2:15 p.m. Boys Middle School Race 2:45 p.m. Girls Middle School Race 3:30 p.m. Open Race 4:15 p.m. Combined Freshman Race 5:00 p.m. Boys JV Race 5:45 p.m. Girls JV Race 6:30 p.m. Boys Varsity Race 7:15 p.m. Girls Varsity Race
Again here are our lineups -
Boys JV, 5:00 - Carson, Ryan, Tyler, Zack, Cameron, Lane, Jackson, Nolan
Girls JV, 5:45 - Devan, Jensen, Kristyn, Nicole, Lexie, Faith, Amelia, Caroline, Tori
Boys Varsity, 6:30 - Marcus, Andrew, Ethan, Jake, Isaac,
Spiritwear / uniforms - orders are due to Apparel and Awards by 9/5. Remember if your athlete is wearing a loner kit, you have to buy the uniform top and bottom. They're only $23 and they're our only "fee" in a pretty low cost sport, and they keep them for following seasons.
Labor Day 5k/10k, Monday 9/4 at 8:00 - if we by chance don't get to race Saturday, we will want every available runner at Monday's event. I'll be running the 10k along with some of our high school kids. Everyone should at least be doing the 5k. It's a great community event and we all know that we need more running.
Wednesday, 9/6 Popsicle Races here at TNHS - will need the kids to stay and help. Our Renegade Running of middle and elementary kids is growing daily. They're the future of running in this community!
Next Saturday, 9/9 Iron Horse Festival 5k - we host this 5k road race. Encourage all community members to come run. Proceeds benefit the XC program and it's a great little festival. We will need folks to run registration beginning at 7:00 a.m., and we need chute workers much like last night.
This time of year is our most crucial in terms of growth. After Saturday, we have two non-meet races and lots of consecutive training days. They just need to be exactly that - CONSECUTIVE TRAINING DAYS! We have too many kids missing too often. Post-season is only 10 short weeks away. Reference the training program linked below - running more and faster is how you get faster! This plan is on our blog at all times.
