Week 7


This week we had over 40 kids run personal bests.  Tuesday's meet in New Prague made up 39 of the pr's and Saturday in Willmar 2 more ran their best ever times.  It was a busy week with competitions and a heavy practice load.  We are entering the championship part of the season and will be turning up the intensity and lowering the mileage to freshen up legs.  The girls JV team lead the way in New Prague placing 1st behind Emily Krautkremer, Cheyene Westin, and Hailey Witt's 4th, 5th and 6th place finishes.  On Tuesday, Janessa Meuleners (2nd), Krautkremer (4th), Westin (5th), Witt (6th), Mariah Walsh (9th), Nate Loegering (1st), Zak Hughes (4th), all made the medal stand in their respective race.  All around Tuesday's competition was very encouraging.  Saturdays trip to Willmar saw Meuleners (5th), Krautkremer (4th), Noah Hastings (8th), and Skylee Schwingler (14th),  make the award stand.  There were not as many personal records on Saturday but after 39 kids ran their bests on Tuesday it was a bit tough to have another big day or personal records.  This week Tuesday we run at the Ney Center in the LeSeuer Coed meet.  Friday is the homecoming relay.  The following week is the Conference meet at Baylor Park on Thursday.

This is the time of year we work towards now is the time for all the aspects of good running come together, nutrition, sleep, hydration, physical and mental preparation, and to some extent plain old good luck.  It was great seeing all the family and friends cheering us on.  This years team has been working very hard to make their goals a reality.  We thank all the family and friends that have come out to help us achieve our goals by cheering us on.  We have never had such a good group of followers as we have had this year.  See you Tuesday.
