I am watching one of the greatest “Cheers” episodes of all time, the one where they go to Carla’s for Thanksgiving. That show was *so* funny!! Food fight at the dinner table, Dianne in the Pilgrim outfit, finally “seeing” Norm’s wife. just classic.
Last year, the boys 4 x 800 ran a 8:23, this year, a 8:18. Great improvement! But, we are not there yet. The team is not set in stone yet, I still want to see what all the guys on the distance team can do. We still need to train very very hard, as we need to improve by at least 6 seconds per guy to be competitive in that race, by my estimation. In addition, our two mile team is as strong as it has been since Steven B. was around, and the sprinters were really running very well yesterday. Just an exciting thing to watch!
The girls team, (which came in first for the fourth year in a row at the meet BTW), is incredibly deep. The coaches were interchanging athletes left and right, and there was no drop-off whatsoever. We have great distance runners, great sprinters, great field events. We are going to be a team to watch this year! It is pretty awesome, but just like the guys, we still have a lot of improving to do.
Both teams have a great mix of young kids and older kids, but one constant remains, we need to work as hard as we can every day at practice, and that starts tomorrow at three. Even though we don’t have school, we will have normal practice.
Please check out the CHS T & F web page for all of the official results and personal bests. There’s lots of great information Mr. Lake puts up there.
This week, we do not have a standard meet, but rather a scrimmage at Thunder Ridge. Coach Reyes is allowing up to six entrants per event. Combined with the Orlando kids that will be flying out Friday morning, I don’t think we will have any distance kids at the JV meet Friday afternoon. I would rather get all of the distance kids some varsity experience. Official line-ups will be announced Tuesday at practice.
Get some rest tonight, sleep in tomorrow, a big week of practice is ahead of us!
