One of the first things I did following yesterday's meet, I must admit, was to verify the distance of our XC course. Our course is a legitimate 5K. Of that you can be certain.

With that out of the way I checked the D3 hypothetical meet option on athletic.net and both our teams have moved up a bit based on recent performances. We still have a lot of work to do to prepare for EMass, and we still have the Patriot League Meet coming up this Saturday at Pembroke. I know the meet starts at 9:30 (our bus leaves promptly at 8:15.) We should return at about 12:30. I do not yet know the order of events but will assume the JV races will be held first, followed by the Varsity races. If I were a betting man, and I'm not, I'd think JV Girls, JV Boys, V Girls, V Boys. Don't have your parents make travel plans based on my guesstimate however.
Today, we will all meet on the Track at 2:30. Some of you will want to work the Middle School meet. (Recruit, recruit, recruit!!!) Our plan for today is 40 minutes easy with strides, abs and stretch. If you wish to start practice early and then drive over to the Middle School, you can meet me on the track anytime after 1:45. If you want to run the 40 minutes between the high school and the middle school, you can start from the Track at 2:30 and get there in plenty of time for the start (3:30) of the meet. I can bring your sweats after practice is completed with those NOT going to the Middle School. Those not going to the Middle School will hold practice as usual . . .
I hope to have the rosters for the Patriot League meet completed by 2:30 and will update the team at that time.
GREAT RACE yesterday by all! See you this afternoon . . .
