CAPTAINS ANNOUNCE FIRST PRACTICE!!!

The captains for the upcoming season are busy working out a practice schedule for the summer prior to official practices.  You are encouraged to attend as many of these as possible...the more you run with others, the more motivated and competitive you become!

When?  Monday, June 3rd at 8:00am

Where?  LOHS parking lot off of Milliken (by the outdoor basketball courts)

- Everyone is welcome...remember these are optional, but encouraged and no coaches are present.

- Fleet Feet Sports will be there to help athletes with advice on proper shoes and promotions!

- If new parents have questions...veteran parents will be on hand to answer them!

As always, keep visiting the website for new information!

MAY/JUNE NEWS AND NOTES!!!      

Athletic Physicals:  No one can participate in any practice for any sport without being medically cleared!!!  You will ALL have to get a physical.  If you didn't get it done on campus, then make sure it gets done soon.  Please pick up the packet from the main office prior to going to the doctor and don't download the forms from the district or school website, because your packet will be incomplete.  We always turn away students on the first day of practice because of this, so get it done now!

New Handouts:  There are new handouts posted in the "Handouts."  First, to provide additional motivation, the point structure for earning a varsity letter has been posted.  The plan is to post updates throughout the season.  In addition, the Spring Conditioning Training Calendar has been posted and it takes you through to the start of official summer practices.  This is a guideline to get you ready for the start of practices;  you will be in great shape to handle our summer practice schedule, which assumes you have completed these workouts at a minimum.  Those that do not train during this period, especially returners, will find themselves dealing with a time trial to make the team for the competitive portion of the season.  Also, after 28 years of coaching track and 27 years of cross country, I hear a lot about the things we should be doing and we need more of this or that.  At most, we are together 2 hours of a day...what you do in the other 22 hours is your business;  this is a guideline not an individualized training plan, if you want to add miles, add speed or whatever you feel you need, then do it.  But, keep this in mind...the roads are littered with athletes that try to do too much too soon and never complete the season or their 4 years...log ALL your miles so the coaches can see exactly what you are doing. 

Logging Miles:  You must log miles for cross country.  It's not only required but it's a great way of seeing progress and motivating yourself.  There's even a running2win app now to make logging easier!  Register now if you do not already have an account.  You need to "Join A Team" for us to see your activity.  Directions are below:

1 Go to this Free Web Site: www.running2win.com.
2.Register yourself with a username and password and some other basic information.
3.Once you've registered, click on the link within the site to "join a team." You will be prompted to enter a Team ID;  it is T-7864100205-20, then click "Submit Request". That sends an email to Coach O who will grant you access.
Fill out your mileage daily!!

Unsure of your mileage???  Go to Google Earth, click on the ruler icon in the toolbar above the image...when the window opens, click on Path, then measure your route and it keeps a running total of mileage!

MEET THE 2013 CAPTAINS!!!

It's my pleasure to introduce the captains for the upcoming season.  They have the very important job of getting the summer off to a good start organizing practices and setting the tone for a great season.  Leadership manifests itself in many ways...leading by example, leading vocally, being respected by peers or demonstrating the work ethic that is expected in a demanding sport like cross country.  I believe we have a great mix of that with this year's captains.  Chris Greaves, Diego Saldonid, Alex Burkhart and Sarah Holloway will do a fantastic job!

SNINCSAK COMMITS TO REDLANDS!!!

There is no doubt that Jessika Snincsak was an important addition to the team last season.  The first year senior was a consistent scorer on a team that, while talented, was not very deep.  Her dedication paid off as she signed to compete for the Bulldogs of the University of Redlands.  Her love of competition and hard working, positive attitude are attributes that college coaches love, especially when they come to their program with "low miles" and little wear and tear.  Jessika has been a coaches' dream and will be very successful at the next level...we wish her the very best!  Congratulations!
