Darts - Sorry for the delay on the update this week. It has been a busy week. It has also been a successful week. I had a lot of fun at both of our races this week - Davis Clipper & Bob Firman in Boise. I was pleased with our EFFORTS this week. I think that many of you are coming along, and the improvements are showing in the races. As I said today in the meeting, we have 30 days until the state cross country meet and 23 days until Region. The next 2 1/2 weeks are going to be our most intense training - don't let that scare you. Working hard can also be some of the most fun time of the season.
The Davis Clipper Results can be found at our blog - http://www.davisxc.blogspot.com/ - We came home with 4 wins - JV and Varsity Boys, JV and Varsity Girls. I thought we had some key performances and some great improvements from Brandon Estoque, Adam Seelos, Seth Clark, and Marlowe Haws on the boys side, and Caitlin Miller, Madi Holt, Rachel Hunsaker, and Melissa Welling on the girls side. Basically a lot of our new runners really stepped up. Their consistency in training is beginning to pay off. One note - our girls JV Team placed 1st through 18th.
At the Bob Firman race we had the opportunity to face some tough competition and some tough course conditions. It had rained all night and into the morning and the course turned into a muddy, slippery, sloppy mess. We ran smart races, even though I put a lot of pressure on many of our athletes putting the JV runners into Varsity races. After 6 straight intense races, we ended with 6 top 6 Team finishes (5 varsity and 1 JV race). The varsity girls won the elite varsity race. The JV girls placed 4th in the Division 1 Varsity Race and 6th in the Division 2 Varsity Race. The Varsity boys were 4th in the elite boys race (behind 2 nationally ranked teams), and the JV boys finished 4th in the division 1 varsity race and 6th in the JV boys race.
The trip was successful because we ran hard and we ran well. It was also successful because we had fun as a group. It was also successful because I came home without having been mad for 2 straight days (I was only mad like 2 or 3 total times - that's good). And it was also successful because we had some good help. Thanks to Dave King for coming along and helping me with the organizing. Thanks for Brad for providing entertainment and inspiration. Thanks to Ethan for being so cool and for being a great fan of Davis Cross Country. Thanks to Janae for continuing to coach and run around even with the baby on board and for all of her insight into racing. Thanks to Steve Petty for the support and for the bagels on the way out. Thanks to Jill for coming along as a chaperone and putting up with all of our craziness (even adding to it a little). Thanks to Spencer for video taping and for being willing to come with us even though he had his wisdom teeth out on Thursday. Thanks to Becky Kussee and The Wildings and all other parents who made the trip up and were willing to help out. We have some great help and support and I appreciate it and I know the athletes appreciate it.
