WEEK SEVEN

Conference @ Lake Forest:  Our first race of the day was Varsity.  After watching the courageous finishes of our Varsity boys, I was pumped and ready to watch our girls race.  While there were a few good kicks (Karyn & Asia), I am still wondering when this group will finally say enough is enough...we will race the way we are capable. 

The Frosh/Soph girls brought home five of our teams lifetime PRs today.  Taylor dropped 38 seconds, Jackie dropped 33 seconds, Tianna dropped 37 seconds, Sam dropped 42 seconds, and Alexia dropped an amazing 1:43!  This group looked sharp overall...getting out well and working hard in the latter parts of the race to pass.  I look forward to what this group will do in future seasons!

The women in the Open Race had to endure a recall due to a pile-up of girls right after the starting gun.  They handled the restart in stride, and got out well on the second gun.  This group raced extremely well, earning 11 lifetime PRs! :)  Nicole dropped 1:30, Melanie dropped 4 seconds, Tiffany dropped 54 seconds, Syra dropped 50 seconds (and looked really tough in her kick), Jennifer dropped 1:12, Alicia dropped 41 seconds, Kealy dropped 2:12!, Desiree dropped 2:57!, Julissa dropped 1:38, Destiney dropped 16 seconds, and Asante clocked the biggest improvement of the day, dropping 4:28.  I am really proud of this group; not only did they race with pride, but they also dealt with the worst conditions of the day in terms of the course and the weather. 

Pictures to come! :)
