What a crazy last week! Let’s hope we don’t have those kinds of temperatures again! But we did have a lot of bright spots this week!
Despite the heat, more than 90% of the team ran every day (either in the morning before school or in the evening) and posted their runs to Strava! We (the coaches) are all so proud of you! What dedication and commitment! That time will pay off in the long run!
Thank you to the McDerment's for hosting a team Pasta Party this week! The team had a great time!

Team Trip Update: On Friday, every athlete should have gotten the below parent letter from me. They are required to get it signed and returned. The trip letter outlines the official plan for the trip and an approximate cost. I need to start finalizing plans, rooms, etc. If you lost your form, please print the form off and bring it to practice or drop it off in room 327.
