In an effort to leave before the crowd and go to lunch, we forgot to take team pictures. :-(
After speaking with the GV coaches and receiving an invitation to run at Grain Valley instead of KC Metro, it sounded like this would be the flattest and fastest course that we would run all season. In a bold prediction, the athletes were told by their coach that half of them would reach personal records due to cooler weather and a flat course. As it turns out, only five of the 12 runners would make it, however, one was only 1/2 second away from a PR. Another was about five seconds short. Six of the runners who didn't set a personal record had their season best times. Unfortunately, none of the runners received medals for their excellent efforts. If anything, their confidence levels received a tremendous boost.

AuthorAs the Head Coach of the Excelsior Springs High School Cross Country boys and girls teams, I take pride in watching the athletes improve during a season and from one season to the next. It's rewarding to see them accomplish so much. My goal is to have both teams qualify for and advance to state during the same season. Archives
