Darts,
We're coming off a hot week and it looks like next week may even be hotter. Make sure you're staying hydrated. Carry a water bottle with you every day... including the weekends. Unfortunately, we can't do a slip n slide every week. With all the scrapes, fat lips, bump, and bruises we wouldn't have enough kids to enter any races.
Pre-Region
We have 7 teams in our region this year (most only have 6) with some very good individual and team competition. JV did a great job setting the tone for us again. Davis had 19 of the top 22 girls led by Maddie Johnson (14:00), and 22 of the top 23 boys led by Caden Wheeler (10:55). Varsity Girls finished 2nd by 6 points behind a solid team from Weber, and the Varsity Boys finished 1st led by Connor Jones (10:11). I was happy with our performance on such a hot day and saw a lot of toughness and teamwork. Do not get complacent. Stay positive and excited, 'cuz we still have a lot of work to do.
Bob Firman
The Bob Firman trip has yet to be approved. Hopefully we'll find out this week. I'll attach the invite list and itinerary assuming we can go. We don't like making cutoffs, but unfortunately we can't take everybody. We're using the first couple races, summer commitment, positive TEAM contributors, and seniority in our decision making. If you made the invite list and you will be unable to attend, please let me know ASAP and I will fill your spot with alternates. We are going to have 2 buses. The cost will be $110 and you will pay through the school once we find out we can go. I will be asking everyone if you are attending at Tuesday's practice, so please discus with your parents. And let me know if you or your parents have any questions.
TEAM shirts
The shirt order is in and you should be able to pay online after Tuesday. The shirts were a little more this year ($15), but should look really sharp. Every other school is gonna wish their colors were Brown and Gold. :) We're going to look good, feel good, and run fast... probably gonna break a few hearts along the way.
This Week
Note: The team voted on making a time change for the workout on Monday. We're meeting at the school at 7:00 pm to do our workout. It will still be a little warm, but we might be able to turn on the lights and music. Bring water bottles.
Monday - Meet at the track at 7:00 pm. If you cannot make it, please attempt to get a hard workout in. We will be doing between 12-20 x 400m. Bring water bottles.
Tuesday - Morning run + Flag Run to girls soccer game after school
Wednesday - Distance Run + long strides
Thursday - Pre-Race Day
Friday - Murray Invite
Saturday - Long Run on your own (50-80 minutes)
Athletes of the Week

I know pre-region was really hot and the course was slower than usual. Hopefully you can take something positive from the race. There's always something to be learned. Let's be smart, take care of ourselves, be positive, happy, encouraging, and get ready to work. Be a good TEAMmate. Be a good student. Be kind to your family.
Tip of the day: Dish out some compliments. Your vibe attracts your tribe.
-Coach T
