Meet Information:

This week the entire team will travel to Walker Recreation Park in Walker LA on Saturday morning. We will be leaving early in the morning, and details will come out at practice this week.  We remind all parents and students that we should arrive on time to the school so that those who race first have ample time to do their warm ups upon arrival.

Weekly Notes:

Less than 6 weeks left of the season!

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!

Reminder that in order to run at Nike in November you must be under 17 minutes for boys and 20 minutes for girls. Your best opportunities are coming up in the next few weeks!

Note that the District Championship has been added to the schedule for Oct. 29th.

It is still very warm outside!  Hydration is important for health, so don't forget to hydrate!

Recent Events:

This weekend the boys and girls team had great races at the Catholic High Invite.  The girls team had a top 10 finish and look to be one of the teams competing for a composite top 10 team ranking within the next few weeks.  The boys team was once again led by Devyn Keith who tied his PR at 14:59, scoring a total 69 points to win the prestigious Catholic High Invite.  Devyn remains undefeated against LA competition this year as well as the team.  It has been almost a whole year since the JC XC team has lost an in-state meet, and almost two years since they have lost to another in-state small school.  God has really blessed the program!
