Weeks 8, 9 and 10 - Camp and Time Trial #1

Catching up a few weeks.
We had an excellent High Altitude Camp up at Pine Lake this summer.  There was a bit of everything: rain, thunder and lightning; swimming; trail runs; activities and food.  Our camp theme this year was "We' talkin' 'bout practice!" after the infamous Allen Iverson rant which was recreated perfectly by the most AI guy we have - Preston Warby!  The captains did a great job of focusing our camp on the importance of practice and other activities that bring us together as a team in our running and socially.  This one of our very best camps ever and we thank the captains, the camp cooks, those who helped drive and all the great runners.
Our last week of summer we had the conclusion of our Kids Club - which was a great success this year - and our first team Time Trial held at the PV course.  The Time Trial showed some great possibilities for our team.  The boys ran as a strong pack and ended with a nice close spread - especially nice was the 10 second spread from 3-7.  The hard work of summer really showed up on the girls side as good times were put up by many who will be pushing each other for every Varsity spot.
It was a great summer, full of hard work, miles and a lot of fun activities.  great job to all of you for starting off this season right!
