TNHSXC 10/27/15

Good morning TNHSXC family.  It's Region week, albeit a somewhat soggy one.  The kids are excited, nervous and full of energy coming off of this past weekend's course recon at Logan Co.  

There is a lot of info here so please refer to the attachments and forms to make sure that everything runs as smoothly as possible this week.  

Region teams named - up to 10 runners entered, 

top 7 declared the day of the race - 

Jarrett, Tyler, Jake, Andrew, Hunter, Clay, Isaac, alternates - Brandon D., JPC, 

Allison, Mackenzie, Maggie, Faith, Samantha, Jensen, Sierra, alternates - Champayne, Hope

Pre-race pasta dinner - right after practice Friday.  We will eat and relax for about an hour from 5:30 - 6:30 for any team members who would like to attend. The kids usually score a few gifts as well!  

Saturday departure - leaving TNHS fieldhouse 9:30Saturday morning.  It's giving us a lot of time, but we want to make sure everyone comfortably makes it to Logan Co. High School (2200 Bowling Green Rd, Russellville, KY).  $5 fee per car!

Some important documents - 

Inhaler forms are attached - any runner who is prescribed an inhaler must have this form on site!  I can get the ones from Physicians to Children, but we have had trouble getting them released from other offices.  So, let's get on this right away.  Let me know who needs one.  

Most importantly, let's continue to prepare, stay relaxed, eat smart, get good rest and get ready to MAKE SOME MORE HISTORY!

TNHSXC 10/22

Good morning TNHSXC family.  We have so much to celebrate and so much to look forward to.  I want to pass along how many congratulations we've received for our history making performances Tuesday night.  While I'm happy to hear it, it's really the kids and their supportive XC family that deserve all the credit.  So to you - CONGRATULATIONS!  

Moving forward, we have our most exciting (and sometimes unnerving) part of the season.  These teams are poised to make history again by sending complete boys and girls teams to the State meet. 

Saturday, Oc.t 24 - Western KY Meet of Champions - times are CST

M.S.Boys (6-8) 3K 2:50 - Ethan, Lane 
V. Girls 5K 3:15 - Allison, Mackenzie, Maggie, Faith, Samantha, Jensen, Sierra
V. Boys 5K 3:55 - Jake, Hunter, Clay, Brandon, JPC, 

Running the course - Jarrett, Tyler

I plan on leaving TNHS at noon on Saturday, that is 11:00 CST.  That should put us in Russellville at 1:00ish - plenty of time to walk/jog the course ahead of time.  I can take a couple of kids with me and will be stopping in Boston to pick up Clay Dones.  If any other Boston people need rides from there, I'm sure we can accommodate. 

Please understand the importance of getting on the course ahead of Region, and please know that every athlete's individual performances are taken into consideration when planning these last crucial runs prior to Region. Every runner Saturday will have a specific race plan to make that day most beneficial to them.  Our team scores obviously will not reflect our strength, and that's OK.  

Please let us know how we can help in getting kids out to Logan Co. on Saturday, as I realize many parents can't get out there.  

10 days! Region is in 10 days
