Week of August 10th

Our first week of training is almost in the books. We had a shaky start on Monday but were able to put some pieces together on Thursday night at the Heideman series race. The team did well in our first race of the season. We had 13 team members run a faster time on the course than last year which is excellent for this time of the year. We also had solid performances from our freshman runners. I am excited about the performances last night and the potential for our runners over the course of the next several weeks.

Reminder, tonight is the Cross Country picnic at Copley Community Park at 6pm. We meet for our long run Saturday, 9a at Croghan Park.

Here is our training for next week:
