Friday, Cluster #3 Recap:
Our JV Boys have continued their dominant streak within the Coastal League, securing the JV Championship with their third and final win. They finished the season with an outstanding 12 - 0 record within League Meets. Our JV Girls also ran their best race of the season, with an impressive 1-7 placement, and our 8th runner coming in 10th place overall. This marks the second time the girls have scored a perfect score at a league meet. Lina Hellberg also achieved her first-ever HS XC Meet win. It was a true team effort as all our girls ran an amazing second half of the race to dominate the finish line, also ending the season with a perfect 12 - 0 record within League Meets.
A special thank you to our Senior Class for their unwavering commitment to the team and program. Katja, Lukas, and Sonia did a fantastic job organizing the little event for them at our Senior Meet on Friday. Thank you, Seniors!
HOKA UC Two-Mile Race Recap:
Saturday's HOKA UC Two-Mile race brought us some incredibly fast times. Twelve out of the thirteen athletes who competed achieved lifetime personal records in the 3200m. What an amazing time to run fast! The Men’s team had the fastest team time of the day and took home the win. Great job to all our athletes!
These remarkable accomplishments are a direct result of all your hard work and dedication. When so many of you are achieving these great marks, it's a testament to the effectiveness of our training. Let's maintain this momentum into the next two weeks. Stick to the routine that's been working for you; there's no need for anything new on race day!

Post-Season Training:
Taking a break is essential before serious training for the Track season begins, but the timing is up to you. If you're feeling burnt out, tired, or need a break, take it now. If you're feeling good and want to keep training, consider taking your break over the Winter/Holiday Break between semesters. We recommend enjoying some time off during the winter break, regardless of when you choose.
Non-School Sponsored Activities:
Several Cross Country athletes have participated in non-school sponsored activities in the past. These events are not affiliated with the team but have been popular among our athletes. If you're interested in these activities, check them out:
Fleet Feet SD Turkey Trot: This Thanksgiving Day tradition is a great opportunity for an easy run. Register for free here. You can also bring canned items to donate, making it a fun and charitable event.

What to pack in your bag for race day...
Post Race: After all races, runners are expected to do a 20-30 minute cool down (depending on skill level) plus normal drills and stretching. For planning purposes, you can expect to be completed with everything an hour after your race starts (i.e. an 8am race start, you should be done with racing and cooldown by 9am).
