October Update Of All Things Good

If you haven't noticed, I've been really busy lately!  Between school, coaching, and some projects I am working on, things have been hectic, but all is well.  The John Curtis boys XC team has done well and has been ranked as high as #3 overall in the state and #1 in class 3A.  The girls XC team has been ranked as high as #5 in 3A and looks to reach the goals they set out with from the summer despite losing several varsity runners from last year to other sports.  The JC football team played the hardest 5 game stretch in the country and came out 3-2.  Good job guys, keep up the work till state!

The weather changes coming should help runners across the south run some good times, especially for the ones who get the opportunity to run the Walker Shootout and Rollette Invite on the north shore of Louisiana.  Remember to say warm when the weather gets colder so you don't get sick!

I'm still working on assembling the team Louisiana for Footlocker South and there has been a lot of responses and interest.  The more kids choose to seek out the best competition possible, the better off the sport is everywhere across the country.

I'm currently working with Louisiana Running Company and the New Orleans Track Club to help promote the sport in the city and work with local runners to help them reach their competitive training goals.  Just like I put up weekly training for high school athletes (and I will continue to do that through the year and into track), we may work on training programs for road racers.  Both groups already have weekly running sessions in New Orleans so check them out!

LRC sponsored the awards for the JCCS meet in September.

I'm looking forward to next summer as well as the Southern Athletics program continue to grow.  I'm currently looking to decide what this years uniforms will look like, although I still have a few of the all-blue uniforms for those who liked last years version.  Should I do white this year?

I expect to be back to writing as much as I did in the summer once the semester dies down in December.  If you have any wishes for me to write on, email me and I may put together a post about it. Consider it an early Christmas present!
