The week started with our end of summer Time Trial at Bloomington Hills North Park. Both the buys and girls set team time records for the fastest 5 person average for this run. Sarah Snow, Jacey Finch, and Caroline Clements ran a very nice 1,2,3. While Carson Horspool, Julien Canales, and Nathan Beitler did the same for the guys; followed by a steady stream of the rest of the team within seconds of each other. We were very pleased with how the hard work of the summer has paid off with a great start to the season.
After the time trial, we headed up to Deer Haven on Cedar Mountain for camp. It was a great camp with a lot of opportunities to get to know everyone on the team, great instruction from the captains and coaches, an inspiring visit from Olympic Trials qualifier Amber Green, good weather, and lots of hilly running!
As we head into our final week of summer, we are also gearing up for our first meet of the year! There is some very important information you need to know for this week, so please read through this whole post...

Athletes of the Week:
Sarah Snow, Fr. - Sarah earned AotW for her hard work and dedication to the team. She has run with our MS team for a while and we are very excited to have her finally with our HS team. She will bring an immediate impact to our team (as shown by her 1st place finish in the time trial) and help push our team to our lofty goals.
Jacob Bowler, Fr. - Jacob has had a good summer of running. Although he is new to running, he has pushed himself and seen great improvements.
And, of course, a parting thought:
“If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.”
