Outlook – Celina and Oakwood are teams that will be vying for one of those top 4 regional spots to qualify to the state meet. Celina is in another regional though. Our varsity has yet to put together its best race yet as we still have pieces missing. Celina is a team just a hair ahead of Kenton Ridge and Northwestern. Let’s beat Celina!!! Let's keep that tight pack, but string together good races out of everyone. Who will make our 6th, 7th man spot strong Saturday? When it comes down to deciding who runs varsity at district (top 7) we will use the criteria at the bottom. Focus on moving up the entire race, rather than getting bogged down. The varsity race is small. There will not be hundreds of runners in this race. You should be close to the front. On the JV side, you will have hundreds in your race. Use the competition to inch closer to those varsity times. Know the course. We will run 8-10 in the first varsity race and no less than 5 in the the team JV race (See schedule above).
An extra long cooldown cannot hurt. Jay is in charge of the varsity warmup and Dean is in charge of the 2nd group’s warmup. Storm is in charge of the varsity cooldown and Tyler is in charge of the 2nd team cool down. Make sure everyone is together, Bring plenty of clothes to run in. You want to be warm while you are standing around rooting for other team members as well.
