Good evening (or Monday morning) TNHSXC family. We had a great kickoff to our season at the super competitive St. X Tiger Run. Our five varsity boys were the best local team, posted a few PR's and everyone ran sub 20 minutes. We have much work to do in the next 10 weeks, but it was a pretty good start. Here they are after their two mile cool down - suns out guns out they say!
Wednesday, 8/30 TNHSXC Weeknight Warfare - every middle and high school TNHS athlete will be competing. Race times are MS combined 5:30, HS girls 6:00, HS boys 6:40.
Every TNHSXC family member will be needed to contribute making this an awesome event. We put on terrific races and it is due to the selfless work of our family members.
We need people in the following positions -
Finish line - 6 people (Hines, Goff, ??)
Concessions - 6 people (Newton, Janes, Skees, Hudson)
Lead vehicle driver - 1 person (Mattingly? Dones?)
If you're name is not on the list - you're not off the hook. Please, I need your help.
Saturday, 9/2 Run for the Gold, E'town Sports Park
I realize this is Labor Day weekend, and I will have some of the athletes listed below unable to attend due to travel. Please let me know as soon as you know. I'm using this race to provide the opportunity to get as many kids 5k experience as possible. It has been on the schedule as middle and high school all year, so I hope most everyone is planning to attend. The varsity races are under the lights, and the course is 75% bermuda grass making it super fast.
Boys JV, 7:15 - Carson, Ryan, Tyler, Zack, Cameron, Lane, Jackson, Nolan
Girls JV, 8:00 - Devan, Jensen, Kristyn, Nicole, Lexie, Faith, Amelia, Caroline, Tori
Boys Varsity, 8:45 - Marcus, Andrew, Ethan, Jake, Isaac, Clay
Middle/ Elementary Renegade Practice - we are continuing to build our team of youngsters. I'm here to train them 4:30-6:00, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday (the elementary kids only need about an hour). We will welcome new athletes at any time, so please keep spreading the word. There are great young runners coming out of the Popsicle Races and I'm very excited to help foster that growth. Beyond the Popsicle series the Elementary kiddos will run at Hillbilly, the Revolt, and the Bolt. The program is purchasing youth specific kits to issue the elementary kids - so ignore the message below about buying uniforms.
Spiritwear / uniforms - order form is attached and I'll have copies at school. I have a number of uniform pieces to loan to new runners, but it is the one mandatory item to purchase. If you're new or are replacing a uniform piece, you must buy them from Apparel and Awards. Then they can simply return the extras back to me. The other pieces are fantastic and Coach Hart is awesome to work with. Some colors are new, and the 1/4 zip pullover is really nice.
Labor Day 5k/10k, Monday 9/4 at 8:00 - this is a terrific event put on by our friends at Nelson County. It's a community event that anyone can run in - not a meet. I encourage everyone to come out, run, walk, or support. This year's proceeds benefit an alum in helping her pay for cancer treatment. Flyer attached.
Whew! That was a lot. Have a great week, and I'll see you all on Wednesday.
Matt
