Congratulations to the girls track team for winning first place at today's meet at the Stutler Bowl! The girls had some great performances by many athletes. I know that at least one school record was set, we had a good number of first placers in individual events, and improved times/heights/distances on the way to victory. Considering the teams we were up against--Cherry Creek, ThunderRidge, Arapahoe, Heritage, Smoky Hill,etc...--this is huge.Not to be overlooked is the boys team. We have no idea at this point where the boys finished, but the coaching staff is optimistic about having a 4th place finish. Who knows?!? Caught some bad breaks in some areas, but overall there were some great performances! I know that there were 2 school records pushed nearly to the limit today (Discus, 3200m), and that there were improvements seen in the 4x100m; a great race for this boys team.
Fellas: hold it together! There has been a bit of stress lately, but you are a strong bunch of athletes. In my years here at the school the boys are always at their strongest at the end of the year, and are able to surprise a lot of people.
Well, all of this after a week full of activity. Many of the athletes competed 2 daysin a row in multiple events. Huge showings from some hard working kids.
Rest becomes so important at this time of the year. You guys involved in so much should be getting 9+hours of sleep this weekend (each night, not combined!). If you can continue that into the week you will be all the better off. If you're sleeping too long, and your parents yell at you to get up, tell them it's okay...your coach told you to stay in bed :)
Nack
