This week our runners are putting in more miles than any week since August camp weeks. They will earn the right to be faster. Or not. It is not about the miles or necessarily the fast (or slow) times they push their bodies to reach. It is about the mental preparation it takes to commit to something more than what we've ever reached. It's about confidence and desire and trust. Each runner who works beyond what he/she thinks he/she is capable of doing will accomplish goals that last week were unreachable.
Our boys varsity team has the potential of going undefeated for the third consecutive season and, once again, win the Region 3 championship. Our girls team is capable of finishing on a strong note if they continue to improve. They are currently 4-2 with one tri-meet remaining. The boys are 6-0 and have won 26 Region meets in a row. Our Junior High boys team is improving.
Overall, at this most important juncture in our season, we will either become a true team or we will not. If we believe, anything is possible. Just believe!
