Meet Information:

Wednesdays meet will take place at STA in Hammond.  We will be leaving school at 1:30.  The girls varsity race is at 3:30 and the boys varsity is at 4:15.  Junior High 2 mile will be at 5:00.  All athletes who have run varsity competitions thus far this season will run the Varsity races.

Saturday we will compete at City Park in the same location we have the other meets this season.  A schedule will be discussed later this week.

Weekly Notes:

Less than 5 weeks left of the season!

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!

Also the Spaghetti Dinner is on Thursday. All runners and their parents should do their best to attend as we will be recognized for our success so far this season, and additionally all money raised from purchasing a dinner goes directly back into the athletic budget!

This weekend the Brother Martin Invite has been added to the schedule for non-ACT runners.  Students taking the ACT should get in touch with the coaches to determine what they should do for practice.

Recent Events:

We once again had a great outing at the Walker Invite and both teams took strides forward heading towards the postseason.  The girls team had the first race this season where two girls ran under 21 minutes for 3 miles as Troyanna Gause and Maddie Myers both ran in the 20's.  We also averaged 21:19 for the meet which is our season best.  On the boys side we continued the win streak but this time against the #2 team in the state, Jesuit.  In the open race several of our younger runners had great performances, showing the caliber of the athletes we have coming through once the older runners graduate.
