Girl’s State CC Meet!!!

Here is our bus to State… I had to be picked up on the side of the road because I was unable to make it to the school on time. 🙂 Special treatment! On our way to State…

As I entered the bus and sat down, I noticed there was a nervous energy in the air. I have to admit that I think I am just as nervous as the ones racing.

The first thing I noticed as I stepped off the bus was how nice the weather was. It was a perfect day with great running temperatures! Before the races started everyone (the JV runners, not the Varsity) went and got something to eat. A few of us went to Olive Garden.

We finished up and went to meet up with the Varsity girls…

They all ran good. A few ran a PR and they were way happy about it. To be honest, I felt that some of the girls could have given a little more but I do know that their nerves got the best of them. They are strong runners, now the other coach and I need to work on their mental race…

What is great with the girls (and boys) is that they are a young team. Our top female runner is a sophomore and was only 2 seconds off our school record. She has improved so much from the 1st day she came out. We have a couple of soccer girls that came out and decided to run cross country instead of soccer and have raced really well for us!

It has been great working with them and a fun race to watch!
