Excellent Tempo

Some of the varsity crew met this morning for a tempo run.  Right now, with Pablo and Leo a little dinged up, we are not as deep as I would like.  Today's run however should be a major confidence boost for us.  I am feeling much more confident about our team after the run than before.

Fantastic job by Mason today.  A late start forced him to run the tempo alone.  His time put him right behind Adam.  Mason...don't believe in the pecking order.  You don't have to hang back from these guys on our normal training sessions.  You showed that you could run just as fast as our top 3.  This makes us much stronger as a team.

Ryan 21:15
Kady 21:40

Excellent to see Kady running pain free.  This is one of the best training sessions I have seen from her in a long time.

We have had a VERY GOOD week of training.  The athletes are getting used to the heat of the afternoon and we have been adding in some quality workouts.  We had our first hill repeat session and first VO2 max session this week.

A number of new runners are showing some promise.

For the girls, Maddy Mays (9th grade) has been a very nice surprise.  Karissa Swick has been performing well also, but that is no surprise. 

For the boys, Jackson Calbreath, Brigham Lee, and Jared Williams continue to set the pace for the first year runners.  A nice surprise on the boys side comes from Eric Peltzer.  Eric a senior, who decided to start running just this summer.  Congrats to Eric on beginning in the best sport on campus.  Keep up the good work.

Week 12 mileage totals will be posted shortly.
