Volunteers Needed

Our 2 biggest fundraising opportunities are fast approaching

On October 19th, we will host 34 high schools and a handful of middle schools at the Hughson Supercross Invitational.  Successfully hosting this meet requires in the neighborhood of 30 volunteers.  

On October 25th, we will staff the snack bar at the homecoming game.  Although we don't directly get to keep any money from the game, our kids can sell raffle tickets in the stands and monies earned at the snack bar go directly to the boosters club, which then donates back to us and other programs at HHS.  The booster club donates over $40,000 a year to HHS athletic teams and over half of that money comes from the snack bar.  

Please sign up at one or both of these events on the spreadsheets attached below.

Woodbridge Invitational

Tomorrow morning our two varsity teams leave for Southern California and the Woodbridge Invitational, where we will match up against some of the top small school teams from across California and the United States.

Parents, please see the trip itinerary

For more information about the meet, see the meet website

This year, instead of staying an a hotel near the meet (which last year cost over $1,500 and was less than satisfactory), We'll be spending $400 less and staying in two cabins in Big Bear Lake California.  As a bonus, we'll be meeting up socially with members of the Big Bear High School cross country team.  BBHS has a tremendous history of success, notching division 4 state titles on both the boys side and girls side as well as producing 3 individual state champions, including American Record Holder in the Marathon, Ryan Hall. I'm really excited to be able to offer this exciting trip to our kids.  I'm sure they'll have a great time and great results.

Kim Duyst Invitational

Hello Husky Parents:

We're getting ready for another pretty cool early season meet.  This Saturday evening, our kids will compete at the Kim Duyst Invitational at River Oaks Golf Course in Ceres.

Meet Info on Athletic.net

The first event of the evening will be the Frosh Soph girls at 7:30 PM.  We're asking all athletes to show up at the golf course by 6:30 in order to help set up camp and begin their warm ups.  We will be setting up our team area on the bluff just to the east of the clubhouse.

Congratulations to Michael Morrett

Michael Morrett was named last week's Stanislaus County Runner of the Week by the StanCo Distance website

Michael was not even our top JV runner last year, but over the past 10 months has trained diligently to the point where he is now our top runner and 3rd in the TVL.  Part of that training included an 800 mile summer.

Great job Michael, keep up the good work.  Go Huskies

Athletes of the Week and Time Trial Results

Our athletes of the week for this past week at Michael Morrett and Tori Kelly.  Read about their performances on the Athlete of the Week page of this blog

Times and splits are now posted on our Results and Splits page.  Please pay attention to whether or not you sped up, slowed down, or kept even pace during the time trial.  The best results usually happen when people run even splits or slightly negative (negative means running faster in the second half of the race).  If you ran a positive split, you probably went out too hard.  If your negative split was too big (more than 20 seconds difference between the first and second miles) you probably went out too easy.

This first time trial was a learning opportunity for many of our young athletes.  Let's adjust our effort levels for the upcoming races this week.

Wednesday we compete at Legion Park in Modesto for the TVL opener

Saturday we race at the Lowell Invitational in Golden Gate Park, San Francisco.

I will post more details about the meets later this evening.
