One Race For All!

It was a soggy, cold and packed race on Tuesday at Austin.  All ages, genders and teams ran one race together in the rain.  It was a good experience to have to navigate a crowd and also benefited some to have others to run with and pace off of.

The girls came away with the donuts as the prize...another food trophy! The junior high got to experience, for some, their first 5k, and for all, their first 5k together!  They did really well and the future is bright for Tiger CC! This group of junior high has got a lot of talent and enthusiasm, good work ethic and positive attitude which is essential and so enjoyable to coach; thank you!  Our varsity and JV boys and girls had some strong showings despite the weather.  Everyone did a nice job to get ready, warmed-up and to the starting line with minimal notice; good job Tigers!  Great season to the junior high who are now finished with their season unless...

There are several of the boys junior high runners that have indicated they would like to run on the JV and thus extend their season by one meet.  I have spoken to those runners and they will be reporting to practice tomorrow, Thursday, Friday and Monday.  HVL Conference meet is next Tuesday.

For those runners that are done, or as they finish, please carefully wash all your school issued garments and return them in a marked bag with the athlete's name and each item listed with size and number either on the bag or on a piece of paper taped to the bag.  They can begin dropping them off at Coach Miller's room or send them to me at practice.  If things are not returned, the athletic office will be sending out notices of the cost that will need to be paid to offset the loss.  There are several Garmin watches out there that need to be returned as well.  Parents, they are pink or bright green and have Stew CC in marker on them if you could keep your eyes open for them!

Finally, at the Section meet on 10/26, Thursday, all runners are invited to come and cheer on the varsity at the meet and then we go out for a team dinner together.  

Go Tigers!
