News & Notes - 11/1/2019

 AJ's last race was his best race! Great first season.

  Congrats to Jacob for finishing his season with a PB at the TCC Meet!

TEAM - Congrats on the way you brought the Conference competition to its conclusion. We had many fine performances at the TCC Championships, including some big PB's. I also appreciate and applaud you on the way you conduct yourselves -- your sportsmanship, your hospitality as host school and your efficient work in setting up and taking down the course.

NOTE: We will have an end of the season BANQUET. I am working out details with Mrs Holt. It will most likely be the first week of December.

CR-XC News (aka: County Champ's News)

TEAM - Much congrats on winning the 2019 County Championship -- and doing so very decisively! I have probably won about 20 County Meets during my career (this is the 4th at CRHS), but this one is especially meaningful to me. I would have never imagined 6 weeks ago that this TEAM could accomplish this feat, BUT your hard work, commitment to excellence and competitive drive brought about progress that even surprised me! And your TEAM bond and was a major factor! AND yoga.

We are, however, not finished yet. We have the Cumberland Classic next week (Varsity & JV run together), the TCC Championship on Wednesday  (Varsity race & JV race), 10/30 and then there is the SJ Group 3 Sectional Championship (just Varsity) on 11/9.

So here's the schedule and important info:

Friday, 10/18 - no TEAM practice. Do a warm up & stretch on your own at home. Think about the factors related to maintaining a healthy and strong immune system (so you don't get sick).

Saturday - 4pm-5:30 at Parvin's. 2 laps easy, with drills and stretching

Monday, 10/21- practice till 5:15
Tuesday- practice till 4:15
Wednesday- practice till 4:15pm
Thursday- Cumberland XC Classic
Friday- off

Saturday- Parvin's

Monday, 10/28- practice till 5:15
