Alex Uva has his work cut out for him!

Yesterday was a great day of practice in preparation for Scituate on Wednesday.  Everybody, including Alex, will have work to do on race day.  A decision has not yet been made concerning a JV event similar to last week, but I will keep you posted.  Meanwhile, everybody should anticipate competing in a shortened Varsity course (2.5 Miles.)

Game Balls were awarded to Abbie Newman and Bryce Pulkinen yesterday for their efforts at Martha's Vineyard.  Abbie finished 2nd for W-H and 9th overall, improving her time over the 2014 Martha's Vineyard Invitational by nearly three minutes.  Bryce, in only his 2nd XC Race, finished 2nd for W-H and 32nd overall with an impressive time of 17:54 on the 5K course.  Both Abbie and Bryce had superb performances on a hot and humid day!

The BLACK group welcomed Maeve Rooney following an outstanding race at Martha's Vineyard.  I am very confident others will move to the BLACK group following our meet with Scituate.

Today, we will go easy, with both the BLACK and RED groups following the same plan:

Warmup on the Track @ 2:30

25 Minute shakeout run @ E Pace

6 X 60 Strides

8 X 1 minute abs

Stretch

Start hydrating NOW for tomorrow's race.  The forecast is Sunny and 83 degrees!  

TWO OTHER ITEMS OF NOTE:  (1) The Captains are reminding you about purchasing XC clothing.  Money must be in this week.  Don't miss out!  (2) Individual XC pictures will be taken on Wednesday at 1:45 prior to our Scituate meet.  Everybody should report to Sue Moss inside the main gym door at that time in uniform.
