Week Review: It was far from the best conditions at the
Laguna Hills meet this weekend. It was a
hot day, on a course with hills, that had to be modified due to
construction. For the beginning
athletes, this was the first time they have ever raced on hills, providing them
a new experience.
Overall: Boys were
ranked 16th out of 68 schools competing, with a team time of
83:36. Girls were ranked 19th
out of 62 schools, with a team time of 103:12
Athlete of the week:
Ryuya Souther
with a time of 16:14 (17:10 last year) was 28th out of all
athletes, and Megan Oefelein with a time of 19:32 (21:10 last year) was 33rd
out of all athletes.
Next Week:
Weather: The first part of the week is supposed to be hot! Make sure you are taking proper care of
yourself, especially in drinking enough water and getting enough rest.
Electronic Drive: Part of our Invitational this year we are
doing an electronic drive for the Marine Corps.
The benefits goes to Patriotic Hearts, a non-profit that goes to
supporting the veterans from our recent wars and helps them adjust back to
civilian life. You can find more
information of this great cause at www.hirepatriots.com
. I request that every athlete put in
some time and effort to bring at least 2 items (old cell phones, cameras,
computer equipment etc). Check with your
neighbors and friends to help support this great cause!
Woodbridge Invitational! We have a lot to do to make sure we are ready
to host the best meet ever! It’s going
to be exciting to be back in Irvine! The
race will have huge crowds cheering on, tons of competition, and a venue like
no other!
On Friday: To make
the Woodbridge Invitational the best experience for everyone, we need all
athletes to help set up the course, take responsibility for their assigned
duties, and support all our fellow athletes!
Busses are scheduled to leave the school at 11:20. When you arrive at
the park, we will take you over the course, and then break athletes up into
groups to finish with the setup. Once we
get close to race time, all athletes need to take their assigned positions and
have a great afternoon watching the D3 and D4 races as you do your assignments!
On Saturday:
Athletes, try to stay out of the sun as much as possible if it ends up
being hot. Make sure you are well rested
from the excitement on Friday, well hydrated, and ready to race! Help your parents to the assigned positions,
show them what to do etc. After you have raced, please go back to your
locations to help your parents! After
the last race, we are cleaning up the course, and removing everything.
