PICKENS INVITE
With a change in the weather for the better, coupled with a fast course, fast times and good team racing resulted. JV squads dominates as girls scored a perfect 15 points and guys totalled a very low 22 points. Varsity girls for the win with a crazy low 1-5 split of 16 seconds! Guys varsity lost a close battle with Pope, who has been ranked all season in the top all class squads and has been #1 for several weeks. 36 lifetime 5K XC prs on the guys side and 12 for the girls.
MOUNTAIN INVITE / WENDYS
Solid team finishes in both races as we begin to round in to championship season form. Weather did not cooperate as temperatures were high and so was humidity. We like to focus on place and not time, but assume most athletes would have races at least 30 seconds faster on a nice cool day.
Shout out 6 guys and 4 girls who managed lifetime best 5K XC time performances in spite of the heat.
HOYA 2MILE
While the race organizer didn't hand out team trophies in this race, if he had, West would be walking away with 4 first place tropies.
Our guys and girls beat Brookwood. That has never happened before.
Coaching staff feels like our team earned an A grade for pre race organization, in race effort and overall team support.
Huge thanks to our tent crew and snack volunteers for providing our athletes with what we need to perform at our best.
WIRE 2 WIRE
Our team got experience running in a smaller meet with different terrain and lots of turns. Good team wins on all sides for guys/girls, varsity/JV. Individual race wins for Jeremy, Izzy, Logan C and Caroline. 27 lifetime XC PRs for 5K.
DOUBLE DIP
A hot day and a hilly course did not to dampen the enthusiasm of our team.
It is time for this team to recognize that we belong among the ELITE team in the state! Think like a champion. Sleep like a champion. East like a champion. Every athlete, doing his or her best each day at practice MATTERS!
