Weeks 1 and 2

The season is off to a GREAT START!  Moving into our 3rd week of practice, we have seen a very large class of Freshman boys and girls who are going to bring awesome attitudes, work ethic, and abilities to our team; we have had two very fun weeks of Kids' Club; and we are attempting to survive the myriad of camps, treks, vacations, and all that other stuff!  We are super proud of all of you who are doing your very best to get your minutes in - and almost all of you really are.
A huge congrats to our girls who took 2nd at the Top of Zion Relay!
Also, Congrats to our Athletes of the Week -
Week 1:
     Skylar Abel - Senior.  Chosen as a captain for this season, Skylar is coming off a beast track season where he hit huge PR's in all his events (400, 800, 1600, even the decathlon).  His great attitude and work ethic are paying off huge. Watch for him to make a big push to the boys Varsity team.
     Josie Bushar - Junior.  Also a captain, Josie has developed into one of our top distance girls.  She leads the team by example, effort, and with a very positive attitude.  Josie looks to lead the girls to an amazing season this year.

Week 2:
     Julien Canales - Freshman.  In his first two weeks, Julien has already shown that he is willing to put in the effort and commitment to become a great distance runner.
     Maycee Hayes - Freshman.  Maycee ran with us in XC last year with our MS club.  It has been great to have her back out.  She has a wonderful attitude and brings a level of determination that has already been noticed by her teammates.

Keep up the great work everyone.  Remember to focus on building up the minutes (get your runs in as best you can if you are out of town, get to practice everyday you are in town - 7:00a at Wash. Elem M-R, F locations vary *at Sullivan Park this week*), use your Energy Index to determine where your minutes are, and get good focused 100 Up's in everyday.  And finally, get your Week Reports done.

Just Kidding… One more thing…
High Altitude Camp payment is due now!  You can pay the first $50 or the full $85.  Please just get it done ASAP!
