Wow…What a weekend at State! We had a TON of current ORXC athletes, alumni, and parents there to see our boys finish in the top 5 and our girls win their second straight state championship! Since 2015 our boys’ teams have finished in the top 5 teams six times with four State Runner-Ups and our girls have finished in the top 5, seven out of the last eight years, finished on the podium six out of the last eight years, and now have three State Championships in the last four years! It’s been an amazing run and I don’t plan on it stopping anytime soon!
Thank you to everyone who helped out and cheered for ORXC this season. Between early morning practices, snacks, and hosting three meets we asked a lot of our athletes and families. The only way we keep this streak going is with athletes, parents, and coaches all working together and trusting each other. It was a great season and we greatly appreciate everyone in the ORXC family!
Coming up this week we’ll have a couple of fun days to celebrate State on Monday and Tuesday so practices will be a little shorter. We’ll be done by 3:30 and we there will be NO weight room this week. On Wednesday we’ll get back to our normal training schedule in preparation for NXR on November 18th. I will send out more information regarding NXR in next Sunday’s post.
