Congratulations to all of our Varsity athletes for qualifying for State this week! We had several runners earn PR performances with Bella Nelson setting another school record and winning the girls 5K! Julia Trost and Quinn Thomason also earned All-Regional honors for the girls and Dane Janowski earned All-Regional honors for the boys!
Thank you so much to all of our volunteers for all your help and hard work yesterday. I can’t tell you how many coaches thanked us for hosting yesterday and how well everything went. That only happened because we had so many parents willing to help. It was great for our runners to get to be on their home turf for such a big meet. Thank you again!
We will leave for State on Friday and compete on Saturday morning. There is an itinerary listed below. We have been incredibly fortunate to have a huge amount of parents, JV athletes, and alumni attend the State meet each year to support our Varsity athletes. We’d love to see a crowd again this season! Come support your XC Rams!
Our JH runners will have their end of the year season party this Thursday at lunch. Coach Graham sent out a Remind earlier with the details. We will pass out their season t-shirts, a little late obviously, and get to miss an hour of school so fun times all around. Those kids had an awesome season this year! We’re excited to see our 8GC runners move up to the HS level next year and about how many of our 7GC and 6GC runners looked so good. It will be fun to watch them continue to grow and get faster.
We are ALWAYS in need of snacks for our runners! The sooner they get calories after their workout the quicker they can start to recover for the next day’s workout. We purchase whole chocolate milk as a recovery drink with the Booster Club fee but if you’re at Sam’s or Costco and can grab some extra granola bars, fruit snacks, or crackers we could definitely use them. Kelly Mangelson was kind enough to make a snack sign up if you’d like to help out…
