Coaches Notes:   Our experienced kids ran a hill workout followed by a fartlek combination on Monday so we went into this meet with some tired legs and I had our captains pace other kids so finish times were not a thing that concerned us today.  We are working hard now for later in the season and that is a normal approach to early season meets for us.

I have been pleased with our entire varsity coming into the season in good shape and they are running very solid for this time of year.  The Annas stepping up as front runners is positive sign.

Another big positive is the next wave of kids.  Leda, Margalit, Sara and Laura have all put in work over the summer to go from nice JV leaders to valuable varsity contributors.   With a young team we needed that to happen and they showed it off a bit today. 

Also our JV team is gaining depth.  Naomi did a great job of pacing the pack and it was fun to see the Leahs do so well.  The 9th graders all took on their first race with a positive attitude and they are adding a lot to spirit of our team.  

We are young as we will only graduate 2 girls and have only 2 juniors in our top 25 girls.   But the kids are learning and working hard and we have started the season as a very solid team.

Thanks,

Steven
