Coaches Notes:
This week was a good preview of the District course ! I was especially proud of our girls this week who ALL made some great showings! Times aside .. you all competed very well. We still have some work to do for a top five spot at District but we are well on the way. On the boys side we had some okay preformances and some FABULOUS preformances. Extra props this week to our new comer to Varsity Dakota Rothell. Dakota really came up big for the boys team placing in the top 20 and stepping up as a number 4 man for the team. I was pleased on EVERYONE's finish this week on both sides and want you to continue to "change gears" when it's time to finish. Remember to RUN through the line.. Not just to the line. Team championships are won and lost this way!

-Remember to take your coaches ques during the race! If we say "Go now"at the finish or "focus on Blue" we say it for a reason. Do your best to respond to what we are telling you for a better race outcome.

Great job for everyone this week!
