WSC Preview Results & AL Earlybird Info

Congratulations on your victory at WSC Preview ladies!  We are so proud of how you all ran on Saturday, and you really blew us away with your strong finishes!  Nothing says more about your mental strength than your ability to push through the pain and get through that finish line!  We are so happy with your performance and can't wait to see you run at LCCC.  That hill is NOTHING compared to Mohican ; )

Thank you!



THE HILL - Mohican 2013
Thank you to everyone that helped make Mohican a success! As always, the girls had a wonderful time and did some great running too!

A few important reminders:
- PICTURES are Friday 8/9 at 2:45pm.  The girls wear dresses/skirts & we meet at BHS gym doors.
- MANDATORY PARENT MEETINGS ARE 8/12 and 8/13 at 7:00PM @ BHS auditorium
- Classic at Mastick is Wednesday 8/14, we will have the girls numbers and race packets at the race site! Girls race is at 6:45pm but we suggest getting down to the Mastick race site by 4:30pm due to limited parking.  If your daughter is involved in Freshman Orientation they have permission from the administration to leave at 5:00pm in order to get to the race in time to warm up and run fast.  It might be a good idea to have a few parents car pool to drop off the runners since parking will be full at that time.

Please be sure to read the ATTENDANCE POLICY posted to the right.  We do not want to have to hold someone out of a race because of an unexcused absence! Let us know if you have any questions!

Here is a pic of the girls practicing yoga with Molly after last week's long run!
