Menard Invite

Great Job to everyone @ Menard!

Girls: If you have a question about race day you need to call your coach instead of assuming anything! I expect to see ALL of my girls healthy and competing by NSU! Our goal at State is to get as many people under 50th place as possible and to place as a team higher than 10th. Last year the 50th time was 24:42 and our best girl finished 53rd. The Pre State meet will be a good test as far as where we stand. We had decent performances from the girls who did race today all of you placing in the top 50 and earning t-shirts which is an honor. I still believe we could have raced better had everyone been mentally prepared.
*Your official times were not posted when we left. I will post those as soon as I recieve them.
Abby: Great job on the 2mile:Your new official PR for 2mile is 17:36


Boys: I am extremely proud of you all. You took the challenge I gave you today to heart and it showed in your performances. Thank you for stepping up and giving all you had in the race. That is what I want to see every time whether we are missing a teammate or not. I noticed great improvement in Hunter and Jason this week. Last year, we did not have five guys under twenty minutes until the State meet and this year we have the top seven under 20 already! Woah Nelly:)Once again do not become complacent but continue to strive for improvement giving God the glory and honor.
