Dear Team,
Team,
I have one word for the
first meet: Wow!!
Everyone did great, from
Gremlins to Youth, from
newbies to veterans. You
guys all ran with a lot
of heart and showed why
Storm is truly amazing.
Parents, thanks for
getting your kids there
on time, for
participating in
warm-ups, for cheering
on everyone, and for
committing to the team!!
I couldn't be more
pleased. Just think,
we're only getting
started. So what's next
on the agenda...
This week we prepare for
Pierce College. Newbies,
you'll find a much
different course this
week. Can anyone give me
an amen for hills? If
you can't now, by
Saturday at 12pm you
will be. This course is
a legitimate challenge
and lots of fun. For the
parents, it's a great
course for spectating.
Well, that is if you
like to hike up the same
hills your kids are
running up.. J For kids,
this is an historic
course and you will
enjoy it.
I'll encourage you this
week in practice to take
a quick check on your
O'Meleveny race. Ask
yourself one area you
can improve on for this
next week's race. As I
spoke with a lot of you
after the race, I left
you with some points
you'll hopefully
remember. Some might
want to take off a
little slower this race,
while others will want
to work harder in the
middle of the race.
Whatever it is, think of
that this week and work
on it at practice.
Remember in
cross-country time is
not the goal each week,
it's place. By the end
of the season you will
qualify for post season
races by place only. So
this week try to move up
a spot or two.
I am encouraged by all
of you so keep up the
hard work.
Thanks for giving me,
the coaches, and your
parents a thrilling
Saturday morning!
Coach Jeremy |
