> We should all be as fearless as Ashley.  She just started the race in the top 10 and never surrendered.  Live life unafraid.

> Izzy & Rachel in their 3rd state meet & Ava in her 2nd run like veterans.   Smart early.  Tough late.

> Erika finishes up an amazing year.  Great leader.   Hard worker.   Fast runner.

> So proud of Brooke and Malia.  Running top 7 for a team that has been 6th or better for the last 7 years is a big deal.

> Who is ready to run at state next year?

> 6th or better for last 7 years is some kind of consistency.   7A podium for the 2nd time ever.

> Top 10 in the all class merge 4 out of the last 7 years (no merge 2014 in the mud races)

> We can run with the best teams in the state.  To beat the best, we have to do what we do but even better.

> Ladies.   Let's focus on getting stronger in the off season and being consistent healthy runners.  That's the key.
