Meet Information:

This week the varsity athletes will not run, they will take the ACT and practice in the evening at Jefferson Playground.  The coaches will take a small group of runners to the MCA meet at City Park at the same place our meet was held to run them in a race to gain some more experience.

Weekly Notes:

Now that school is officially in session, remember to reach out and find new students to come join our team.  The long term success of the program is dependent on getting our numbers up!

Lapathon is coming up on September 24th so remember it is time to start looking for sponsors.  Fundraising is a major part of how we are able to attend as many meets as we do, so do your part and then some!

Recent Events:

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!
