SNOWFLAKE INVITE -- Observations and Insights

Another great meet, backing up Blue Ridge, with good performances by everyone!

Now I really mean that! I'm going to tell each and everyone when you run well, and when you run not-so-well (and when I tell you the later, suck it up and take it)!

Sprinters, please look at your times from this meet compared to PR's from last year. All bettered their times from last year, and at Snowflake it was in gale force winds!!!! My thanks to you and your hard work, and to Joann Delaney for her energy, exuberance and enthusiasm!

Distance Runners:

It appears that you (and what I mean here is, both boys and girls!) are in the process of putting NPA back on the map! Here's why:

We had two of you win their heat -- Jon and Marissa -- and did it in really fine fashion by showing guts and determination.

In the mile races, neither won, but in the one race we went 2, 3; which is really better then a win (more points)! RJ showed guts by finishing 2nd as well, and Megan... Holy Cow, did she SHUT ME UP with running aggressively in the 8 and PR'ing!!!

Only a couple of you (distance runners) will run next Friday at Chino, so that you may continue to train and prepare for Regions and States, and for some of you, MOC and perhaps Great Southwest.

Morning Practice

Back by popular demand, we'll practice next week on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday (for those runners not competing at Chino Valley).

I've updated the Snowflake performances on this blog... you can find those times by looking on the right margin and clicking under "Past Posts" and then on "March 29th - April 5th." It's all there!
