NHSXC and Distance!
Northern High School Cross Country and Distance Squad Read the article at LetsRun.com "The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare." -Juma Ikangaa, 1989 NYC Marathon winner "Our cultural values uphold high discipline, which counts more than the talent." -William Mutwol on why his small Kenyan village has produced most of Kenya's great steeplechasers. An analysis of Usain Bolt's new World Record for 100m, 9.58 seconds, may be found at http://www.sportsscientists.com/2009/08/analysis-of-bolts-958-wr.html . Very interesting! The site also contains other articles concerning running.
Cross Country Practice Started Monday, August 3
(but come on out now, if you haven't already!) Athlete's Pledge, Medical, and Participation formsmay be downloaded from the Handouts section under Team Files.
We’ve got a very active time coming up for our first complete five-day week. Some announcements:
1. Inclement Weather—if there is lightning, or if a hard rain is falling or threatening, we will meet in S-6 at 2:50 PM, and do our running at Northern HS. If the rain is just a drizzle, we will probably still go to West Point. I cannot promise an email will go out, so please make sure there is athlete-parent contact.

This is a busy week for Northern Cross Country. Tuesday, September 8: 5:00 PM NHS vs Riverside at West Point Saturday, September 12: NHS at DA X-C Invitational 7:30 AM Leave NHS by bus 9:00 AM Boys “A” 5000m Race 9:30 AM Girls 5000m Race 10:10 AM Boys “B” Race 11:00 AM Awards: Medals to top ten Boys “A”, Girls Race, top five Boys “B” 12:00 Noon: Return to NHS Teams are expected from Jordan, Northern, Riverside, NCSSM, Chapel Hill, Panther Creek, DA, and Cedar Ridge. In lieu of the pre-meet pasta dinner prior to the DA X-C Invitational, all athletes are urged to support our football team at County Stadium as we compete against Millbrook HS. We had a great time at Jungle Run, with quick times and great races! More will be posted as soon as possible, including seasonal progressions. We have changed our schedule slightly. I’ve decided to change our overnight trip from Richmond on September 25-26 to Charlotte for the Wendy’s Invitational on October 3. In light of the academic scrutiny we are currently experiencing, I felt that missing school would not be in our best interests, despite the high academic status our team regularly enjoys. We’ll leave after school on October 2 for Charlotte. More details will follow, including costs. Finally, we need to begin some fund-raising. We get all sorts of ideas, but we need to get an action plan going. Anything we do needs to be formalized and approved by Mr. Colclough. Also, the organization needs to be detailed in terms of objectives, timing, and who is involved. I’ll do as much as I can, but my time is somewhat limited. Assistant coaches need to be a part of the process as well, but the major effort needs to be that of our athletes. Any parents who could help are also welcome! Thanks for all you do – athletes AND parents! Things to bring to practice daily:1) a water bottle; 2) a towel for the ab workout; 3) a watch to time your run; 4) a lightweight training shirt, as we don't run shirtless; 5) good running shoes. Each day we will talk about some aspect of running, from equipment to goal-setting, from running form to running etiquette.
