The coaches were very happy with the performances of our athletes at Martha's Vineyard.
There were some very strong individual performances as well as a great team effort. The
weather was a little warmer than we had hoped for and it was never "overcast" as forecast.
In fact, I don't recall seeing any clouds. But it was a great day and with any luck we'll
return next year (Sorry Bryce, Lukas and Olivia!) One thing was fairly evident in Saturday's
meet. There are some great teams out there, some of which we must compete within our
League AND our Division. We'll be taking it up a notch or two over the next couple of
weeks. But before we do we have Hanover on our schedule for Tuesday at home. The
Hanover Boys team is young and improving, the Girls team is talented. Hanover has a well
coached team that deserves respect. We'll be prepared to give it our best.

But tomorrow will be an easy day in anticipation of Tuesday's meet. Experienced runners
will run independently while the coaches take our newcomers and those needing a review
on a run through the home course. You know the drill that follows . . . strides, core, abs,
stretch.
