  • Starting this week:  If the temperatures are below 60 degrees, athletes will be required to wear long sleeves AND long pants during the warm-up, drills, cool down and core exercises.  Failure to have the appropriate clothing could result in you getting sent home from practice.

 

  • Athletes of the Meet
    • Each of the major meets we like to recognize a few athletes for being AWESOME! That could be running a really fast time, Personal best effort, or other amazing feats!
    • For the Last League Meet we wanted to recognize the following:

      • Jensen Monti: With more than a 2 minute PR, Jensen has improved so much!  His reaction to his finishing time was absolutely a moment of joy for the entire team!  Great work Jensen!

Volunteer Opportunities

Reservoir’s Pookie Trot 5k.  (CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS)   

On November 22, please join Us for the First Annual "Pookie Trot" – Honoring Reservoir Alumni, Amy Armstrong and Raising Awareness About Relationship Abuse. On November 22nd, 2025, we will gather in Fulton, Maryland, for the first annual Pookie Trot 5K Walk/Run, honoring the life and spirit of Amy Armstrong – lovingly known as “Pooks". Amy was a vibrant, loving soul whose life was tragically cut short due to domestic violence in October 2024. In her memory, we are coming together as a community to celebrate her life, raise awareness about relationship abuse, and support those who may be suffering in silence.
