Last night at Chatfield was full of great effort, change and success. The biggest thing I felt was a sense of team pulling together, cheering for and supporting each other and sharing how much it meant to them hearing their teammates get them through a rough part of the race. That is a tough course! We were without two veterans on varsity with Chrissy not able to finish and Marie out with an injury. With that, the others really rose to the occasion and did a nice job placing 2nd to a very strong LFC team.
As I said at practice this week, the strong crew of seniors have really developed this team into what it has become, a young, intentional and excited team that can see their possibilities. They've been loyal and hard-working for many years and with Chrissy's trips to the state meet, it shows each runner what is possible. That has made the entire team stronger and we are reaping the benefits as a team!
Ronda Lovelace has added some awesome pictures to the Shutterfly account for you all to enjoy. Mr. Orvis has added some recently and may add more (?) so please check that out at the link to your right, just under the results link. Thank you for doing that for the team!
On a side note, we know our athletes are wonderful on and off the course. Check out this link to see one of them in a totally different role. Way to make us proud Heather!
This week we will practice Thursday, Friday and possibly Saturday for those that can, varsity and junior varsity. Next Tuesday at Austin will be the last junior high meet. It is also round 2 "Gimme Some of That" day so reminder, if you did not bring snacks to Lake City, you're up next Tuesday!
The next meets will be exciting as we are looking to be healthy, full-strength and fired up to see what we can do as a team at Conference and Sections!
Go Tigers!
