Solid Performances Are the Proof of a True Distance Program (V 6th, JV 1st, MS 2nd)
Williamstown Cross Country Invite 9/29
Thank you to all the parents who carried or dragged the tents, coolers, tables, and food out to the tent area for this beautiful meet. The team appreciates your energy and effort dedicated to the team, from the Thursday spaghetti dinners to the Saturday meets, all of it.
Williamstown HS put together a great meet and the boys responded well to the conditions. Varsity continues to improve and challenge each other. Fourteen runners are in the hunt for the top 10 spots for the regional team. Many of those 14 are freshmen and sophomores. We practiced hard on Friday and still the times improved. Next week we run at the Kentucky Horse Park, for the Lex Cath XC Invite. The following athletes will run varsity:
Kaelin Reynolds won the JV race with a 19:54 time, good enough to place 8th on our varsity team for the day. The experience of running in the front and competing against comparable runners proves helpful to the our younger athletes. Joseph Sander won his JV race at Scott XC Invite on 9/15 and has demonstrated these lessons. Both of these young runners will have a chance to race together and lead the JV pack, while at the same time earning points towards the varsity letter.
We are 13 days away from conference and 26 days away from regionals. Tapering and reduction of mileage will start in 13 days. Junior varsity runners will switch their training to peak during the conference race on October 13. Varsity numbers will be reduced to top 12-13 after the regular season meet of October 20.
