Braves,
I don't know where to begin with this week's update. I felt like this week was extremely successful, from the work ethic, the attitude, and the energy, culminating with the meet on Friday and Saturday. I am very pleased with the effort shown at the meet this weekend. There were some great performances and seasonal bests. A particular shout out goes to our 4x400 teams: Julia, Elizabeth, Amelia, and Rachel; Bridger, Houston, Marcus, and Marmas. These 8 athletes not only ran well this weekend, but have shown exceptional effort day in and day out, particularly on the hills. Both teams gave everything they had at the end of a VERY LONG meet, and I hope that each one of you will look to their example of commitment and see where you can improve. Obviously that group isn't perfect, and they have work to do too, but this is an example of what a successful program is composed of.
This week is going to be another good one. We do not have a meet this weekend, which will allow us to get some quality work in on the hills, in the halls, and in the field house. Without giving away too much, you'll want to come to practice this Friday, it'll be a fun one for you (not as fun as hills, but "fun" by the traditional definition). Come this week determined to work hard and get better. May we continue to improve ourselves and each other as a team.
We are less than a month away from outdoor season so let's make sure we don't let up. Now is a good time to spread the word about outdoor and to get some folks that haven't been with us during the indoor season to come and join us this week.
Thanks for all you do. When you work hard and give full effort it inspires me, and I appreciate it.
Let's Go Braves!
