It's Not Too Late!!!!!

There are just under 3 weeks left until Midnight Madness! Can you believe it? This summer has flown by and now we are staring down the barrel of another season. If you have not got in as much running as you should have it is not too late. Three weeks is enough time to close the gap with your teammates. So get out and run! Just a few reminders.

It is no contact time with coaches from now until the start of the season. Get together anyway and get some running in on Wednesday nights!

If you are around this weekend I would encourage you to get come and run the Swift Creek 5k--Register at the Afton Town Hall.

Keep working hard-the sky's the limit!

Star Valley Cross Country 2008 from Ty Draney on Vimeo.

We will be starting the season with a bang this next week! Our first team run will be up Dry Creek we will meet at the pull out by the Forest Service sign at 7:00. Those who have signed up will also be running the Wasatch Back relay on Friday/Saturday. We are in the process of finding one more leg for the girls and getting leg assignments finished. Get out there and get running! Time to start banner hunting!

I just received camp brochures for Summit View this summer. It will take place on July 23-25. The cost is $75. I will bring the brochures to the first team run. If you will not be there please email me (tdraney@lcsd2.org) with your mailing address so I can mail you one. I really believe that this camp is well worth your time and $$$.

NCAA Cross Country Championships

A lot of hype for this year's races. In the end the PAC-10 dominated with the Washington Women and Oregon men winning team crowns. Check out the video below post race with the men's individual champ Galen Rupp from Oregon. Check out Flotrack.org for interviews and information on the race.

2008 STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS-SHERIDAN

Great job this season. Fighting, scratching, and clawing you managed to produce your best times and efforts when it mattered most. Countless hours and miles resulting in a 3rd place and 5th place at state. Congrats. It was not what we wanted or hoped for but it is progress. Seniors, we will miss you. Underclassmen, we have to recommit ourselves to achieving greatness. It will take a lot of miles and growing up to reach our goals but with the right amount of attitude and commitment we WILL make it happen.

Awards will be on Thursday night, November 6th at 7:00 p.m. in the Choir room. Please invite your parents. We will also be collecting XC gear at the track closet on Wednesday the 5th from 3:45-4:45 p.m.
