Dear Storm Family,

CORRECTION TO PRACTICE THIS WEEK SECTION

Team,

We have 2 weeks left until the regular season is over!!!  Wow, what is going on out here, time really flies when you're having fun right?

Last week at Woodley Park you guys really showed up to race.  Coach Tom put together our top ten list for that meet and he identified some amazing improvements from a year ago.  Take a look below:

Brennan Givens, :49 improvement from 2013

Hayden Washington 1:00 faster than 2013

Joseph Anderson, :46 improvement from 2013

Emily Cruz, 2:08 faster than 2013 time

Kayla Berreta, :32 faster than 2013

Audrey Dang, 2:04 faster than 2013

Josh Duarte, :51 faster than 2013

Joshua Anderson, 1:54 faster than 2013

Spectacular times athletes.

Well it's time to shift gears as we go from a completely flat course to the most hills you'll run all season!  We'll begin a taper this week while we jump into some more hill repeats.  You all are looking very strong, let's work on getting the legs in top shape and you are going to be ready to crush it in these last two meets.  One word of caution as we close out the last 2 weeks.  Check out the overall season results and you will notice there are athletes in almost every division who are making a late charge.  Some were placing over 10th place and now they are under 8th place.  If your desire is to go to post season and Nationals, you have to be ready to fight for those spots!  That means you never give up, you keep pushing and mentally you have to overcome all the way to the end!  You all can do it so keep pushing forward.

Thanks to all of the coaches who have stepped it up while I've been away the last 2 meets.  It's great having such a solid team of parents, coaches and athletes.  Thanks!

See you at Central Park tonight!

Coach Jeremy
