Weekly Notes:

Reminder, consistency is the principle ingredient in success.  Having successful practices week in and week out will make you a better runner before anything else will!

The weather/rain changes our training plans a lot this time of year so just bare with us as we work through the week and attempt to avoid missing too much practice.  This means change of practice locations may happen often.

Reminder that meet schedule is always subject to change depending on the needs of the team at the time, so use it as a guideline, not a concrete list of events.

Make sure to turn in your Lap-A-Thon money as soon as possible!

Recent Events:

This past weekend we competed at the Newman Invite at Audubon Park.  We had a great turnout and ran very well compared to the high level of competition.  Our girls team had the fastest 3 Mile average time of the year so far for our team, good to place us in the top 5 at the meet.  Troianna Gause took home a top 10 finish as well.  On the boys side we finished 8th which is amazing because we sat our top 6 boys who are racing next weekend in Houston.  Lastly, our 5th-8th grade boys team that ran the Middle School division saw an awesome performance as many runners ran for the Patriots the first time, but showed promise that our younger group can be as competitive as our older runners!

This week was one of the greatest weeks in school history for the sport of Cross Country.  Devyn Keith set a school record of 14:59 for 3 mile at the highly ran Highland Park course, one of the fastest times ever.  Our boys squad averaged 16:23 to beat the top 2 5A schools from last year.  A second boys squad averaged 19:30 and placed 4th at the STA Invite in Hammond with 2 7th graders and 2 9th graders, as well as a senior!  The girls squad who also did well at the meet picked up where they left off last year, averaging just under 22 minutes for 3 miles and placing 3rd overall.  Great job everyone!
