Week #2 Recap
Outstanding job this week Vista! We were very impressive during our first week of competition. Our team at the Rock Canyon JV meet was well represented, and we competed w/ the top teams in the League. Those results have not been sent to us yet, but as soon as they are we will post them below. At the Continental League Relays our girls repeated as league relay champions by over 40 points, and our boys were 3rd just 11 pts. from the win. Things are looking good as we start out the season!

President's Day 4 Day Weekend
Because of the amount of people that will be out of town this week we have decided to move the Run to Denver to Saturday, March 3rd. The coaches want to do something a little bit different over the 4 day weekend instead. 

We have been working really hard, and are in need of some easy days of running coming up. That is what Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday will be used for. No intensity, just get out the door and run easy for 4 days in-a-row. 

We will not formally meet as a TEAM for the 4 day weekend. Instead, here is what things will look like. 

• Friday: Upperclassmen led run at 8 a.m. Location of run and post-run breakfast will be announced at practice this week by the upperclassmen. 
• Saturday: Long run on your own, or w/ a teammate
• Sunday: Easy run on your own, or rest
• Monday: Easy run on your own, or w/ a teammate

 
Grand Junction Trip 
We are doing an overnight trip this year to Grand Junction instead of taking the usual out-of-state trip.

Below are the preliminary details
​
When: Leaving the morning of Friday, March 30th. Coming back the evening of Saturday, March 31st. The meet runs all day Saturday.
Where: Stocker Stadium, Grand Junction
Who: We will have room for 50 athletes on the bus for the meet. We are given 3 entries per event + 3 additional entries of our choice. 
Hotel: Double Tree Grand Junction
              743 Horizon Drive
Cost to Athlete: $100 per athlete for bus and hotel cost + money for lunch and dinner on Saturday. 
Transportation: We have chartered a bus for the event. 
Alternative Varsity Meet: The Highlands Ranch Invitational is being held at Echo Park Stadium is on Saturday the 31st for athletes not attending the Grand Junction trip.
