SMASH, SMASH, SA-MASH!!!

After 10 years, the 2003 Section Champion Hughson Huskies boys team time trial record has fallen.  This record had only been approached once in the past 10 years....the 2011 team got within 31 seconds.  Today, our boys squad destroyed the old record by 62 seconds.  The old record, had been 55:10.  The new record stands at 54:08!  Congratulations, boys....your hard work has begun to pay off.

We are only at the beginning of the season and lots of things can happen.  We can continue to work and get better, we can stagnate, or we can fall apart.  I chose to get better.  I hope you will all join me in that decision.

Other interesting stats:
Zach again broke the old team record, running 10:11.  He did not beat his time of 10:10 from the first time trial
This was only the second time we've had 3 runners under 11 on the time trial
We had our fastest ever finishers at places 4-15....as a matter of fact, our 9th man today would have been 5th man on 11 of our 13 previous varsity teams.
15 boys qualified for the all time list by running under 13 minutes.

Girls
Despite being extremely inexperienced, our girls team was able to run the #5 team time trial in my 14 years coaching.  They put 3 girls onto the all time list.  Despite having been sick for a week, Maddy improved her time as the #4 runner ever for us.  Heaven had a solid run, only 13 seconds behind Maddy to move into the #6  all time position.  Taylor made her first appearance on our list by running 15:35, despite a sore achilles tendon.  This team has tons of room for improvement and I expect that we will continue to get better with every passing week.
