To start-- Congratulations are in order for our girls, who won the Maroon Division at the Avon Lake Early-bird Invitational this past weekend out at LCCC! Coach Aldrich apologizes for getting this post up so late...but if you've ever been a first year teacher before, you understand how busy she is!
We had a great showing last weekend, despite the high temperatures and humidity. Our varsity team came out on top with 96 points, edging past Magnificat with 102 points, and Rocky River with 105. Our top three runners for varsity finished in the top 15 overall--these girls are Amanda Cusimano (2nd) 20:20, Abby Christel (10th) 21:14 and Olivia Bechtel (15th) 21:32. In the open race (despite it being 10 degrees warmer than the varsity race!) our girls showed very well again! Our top three runners in the open race, with strong times were Katie Galang (12th) 24:03, Aubrey Crabb (21) 24:39, and Christina Kinkelaar (23) 24:41. Great work to all of our girls! (All times can be found in the links at the right).
This upcoming weekend is one of the team's favorites: Tiffin Carnival! Some logistics that have been shared with the girls all week, and will be shared again and again before Saturday, are that the bus LEAVES the high school at 5am. Yes, 5:00 in the morning. Girls, if you are not morning people, set multiple alarms, ask your parents to come in and make sure you are awake, etc. We cannot wait around for you at the school if you are awake. There will be a long enough bus ride out there that you can rest on the bus. For the meet, the coaches would recommend, (in addition to making sure you have your spikes, uniform, etc.), bringing money for snacks/shirts, some sort of snack/lunch since we will not be getting back to Bay until later in the afternoon, warm and dry clothes (it looks like it might rain!), and a water bottle.
This weekend, the Open race will be run at 8:30, and our varsity runners will race at 10:35. We hope to see a lot of parents and support come out to cheer us on at such a great event!
There will be order forms sent home with the girls on Thursday for team spirit gear (long sleeved shirt, sweat shirt, and sweat pants). Please fill these out and return them to your senior captains ASAP.
Great work so far this week, girls. And good luck at Tiffin!
