September 24th-30th: Dave Sanders (Columbine) Invite

9/22/2012

 
Picture
A great week of both training and racing! We accomplished a lot this week and looked great doing it as a team. Both the boys and girls came through on Thursday/Friday with some tired legs. We trained through this week knowing there are still bigger goals to accomplish, but didn't back down just because our legs didn't feel 100%. Here are the results from the week. Our 1-5 gaps keep looking better each week!

In case you forgot, here is the TEAM goal for the Continental League Championship which is less than 3 weeks away now
                SWEEP the Open, JV, and Varsity races for both 
                                      boys and girls

We have been working towards this since the first week of June and it's almost time to cash in. Keep focused as the Championship Part of our season draws near. This is why we have sacrificed so much time. To be the best we can be when it counts!

Dave Sanders (Columbine High School) Invitational
This is a great meet for a lot of reasons, but most importantly it helps us keep in perspective what is most valued on our team, the people we get to run with everyday. The meet is named after Dave Sanders, a teacher from Columbine HS that heroically sacrificed his own life while evacuating students from Columbine HS in 1999. Please take the time on Friday to visit the Columbine memorial before or after your race to remember Mr. Sanders and those that were a part of the tragedy that day 13 years ago.
