St. Joseph - Check!

We can put a check mark next to the St. Joseph Invitational and call it a very successful day.  Lots of really great times and performances.  Yes, a few disappointments by a few, but on the most part we found that we're where we need to be.  The team's haul of 15 medals was pretty impressive, with a surprise or two mixed in.  Let's celebrate today's effort and achievement over the weekend then get right back at it again on Monday.

So, THE MAIN THING continues as our theme for this year, and in two short weeks we'll see just how successful our team was in focusing in on and achieving a very high goal.  Yes, it takes some sacrifice and lots of hard work but in the end it is so satisfying to know that we did OUR BEST.  I know our best effort will be at the Sectional meet at our place on October 12.  All of our focus and energy are now on the Sectional, with everything else serving as preparation for the big event.

This next week is super important in preparation for the Sectional.  It will be our last hard week of practice before we let off the gas pedal for the final push.  I think we'll go back to Pells Park for some quarter mile repeats on Monday, compete at Rossville on Tuesday on a course we really enjoy, hit the hill on Wednesday, compete against Mahomet on our home course Thursday, and enjoy a nice DQ run on Friday before turning our sights towards the Monticello Invitational on Saturday.
