MRC

We had a very good day yesterday at the MRC meet held at the Ney Center. Thanks to all of you that came to cheer and support our team. The people at the Ney Center do a great job, if you see any of them let them know how much you enjoy watching cross-c0untry out there.

Our goal this year has been to win the conference boys and girls meet. This is a very lofty goal but our kids really wanted to accomplish it. Part of making a goal is realizing the hard, consistent work it will take to reach that goal. Your kids worked incredibly hard to achieve their goal. We coaches would look at each other after our hard practices and marvel at the work ethic of the 54 people on our team. The fact is we won 3 of the six races yesterday and we were second in the others. The girls JV and JH won their races and the boys JH won theirs. It was a great day.

As runners we realize we might have a bad day and are never really sure when that will come. On those days your best is all that can be asked of you and all our kids did the best they could yesterday. Sometimes you look back on a race and think I could have run a little harder in this spot or I should have kept up with this person. Those are learning moments. That is how you improve and become a better runner.

I could not be happier about the way our team performed yesterday. If you have not given your kid a pat on the back yet they deserve it. Thanks for being there for your runner(s) it means a great deal to them even if they don't say so.
