9/5 update

 Redhawks,

We had a great couple of weeks leading up to this race, and it showed on the course on Friday when both teams came away with the win in the 5A race, and in the overall race we finished ahead of a bunch of 6A schools as well. The boys won by 20 and the girls won by 43. Moments like these are a lot of fun, and it is great to see improvements, but it won't mean a whole lot if we let our foot off the gas and show up to future practices lethargic or over confident. We have to find ways to improve every single day. This is won piece to the puzzle of the season, let's not get satisfied now - because the best is still ahead of us.

Last week I sent out the clothing order and asked you to have payments in by Monday, but I completely forgot about Labor Day, so you can have them in on Tuesday and I'll get them ordered. Once the order is submitted there won't be late orders, so if you want something don't forget. Here is the order form.

Tomorrow I recommend each of you get a run in. If anyone has a hankering for a trail run, we'll have an unofficial meet-up at the Mueller Park Canyon trail at 7 AM to run elephant rock if you're interested. For less experienced runners I don't recommend making it all the way to the rock, but rather just doing 40 minutes on the trail. We won't have coaches there monitoring your safety (I'll be on the trail but have to leave around 8:30). Parents and friends are welcome to come because it is unofficial. If you'd rather run later/on the roads, feel free, this is just an option if you're interested.

The meet this week will be at Murray Park on Friday. The bus is scheduled to leave a bit later than I'd like, so I'll update this with the time after I see if I can adjust it. Here is the schedule:

3:30pm Boys Varsity 

3:50-4:00pm Girls Varsity 

4:30-4:35pm Junior high/Elementary Race (2 Miles) 

5:00-5:05pm JV Girls 

5:25-5:30pm JV Boys

If you have a younger sibling who would like to do the Junior high/Elementary Race all they need to do is show up ready to run, and I'll have stickers I can give them to put their name on, and they can race.

Please look over the information listed here from the meet for spectator parking and course map information (pages 3-5). meet info

Looking forward to a quality week of work and another fun race.

Coach Jacobson
