Another chill week for our distance kids. Not much new is happening. Especially with this nicer than usual weather, February is a great time to get really consistent with training and sleep before we start racing in March and after the ups and downs of December and January. We have been talking with our runners about finding a balance between working hard to improve their fitness but not so hard that they burn themselves out mentally and physically before race season starts. Last week was good but I think this week will be even better as they get more efficient with the schedule and the “rhythm” of the week. Please continue to encourage your runners to get plenty of rest, good food, and hydration so they can get the most out of practice.
We had planned on taking some kids to OU this week for an indoor meet but we had so many drop out we are now looking at taking those who want to race to Washburn in Kansas on Feb. 17th. I will send that information out as soon as it’s confirmed. We will have a TEAM Long Run on Saturday morning since we aren’t going to OU.
This will be the last week for our off-season JH workouts. JH tryouts are scheduled for February 12th and 13th. We will have a pre-season Parent meeting for Track for HS and JH kids making the team on February 20th. I attached a separate document with the tryout information.
We are working to transition away from the Remind App due to the issues we had in Cross Country. I will continue to post on Remind until the upcoming Track parent meeting but please sign-up for the SportsYou app for updates for Track this season and XC next season. I attached a separate document with the SportsYou information.
Coach Parker posted information regarding gear packs and gear payment for Track on SportsYou. Make sure you check that out and please let one of us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Thank you for everything you do and as always…GO RAMS! – Coach Collins
