name on it.

Fran, Bella, Luke, Jack and Chance. Bring your White State Bound Shirts in  on Tuesday and Trade them in For Green ones

Thanks everyone for the gifts. The Seiko Stop watch system will help us greatly for  the cross country season.

Recap of  the season.

It clearly shown that the runners that ran during the summer greatly improve throughout the season.
Look at the result for this year and last couple years will show that running in June and July did not need August to get into run shape (Be able to run 2 mile without stopping). They used August to help improve their time. The season is too short for someone to get in shape to run 2 mile and try to work on dropping their time

If you desire to be on the State team and compete at State you need to run in the summer. Talk to the Eight graders. Some of them drop 1-2 minutes off their time.

Running everyday easy in  the summer will get you ready to compete for the State team.

I plan to be running at Panera on Tues. and Thursday in the morning

Saint Thomas More will be having running in the summer in the Evening

Get with fellow runners in your area and start a running group.

Run some 5k race in the summer

We have the Feet
We have the Mind
Do we have the Heart?

I will be back coaching next year
I will be going to State next year
I will be getting State trophies next year
Do you want to  help? Be prepare for a great season
