The Week Ticker moves to 12 and signals the halfway point of the 2024 Season. Seems to be a good time to look back at what we’ve accomplished to this point.
12 week Review
Milesplit Ranks & Team Composite. (Team Composite ranks teams based on an individuals top season performance.
Boys Team
It’s more than fair to call this a “way too early ranking” but the boys come in at an opportunistic 7th place. Division 3 Central District will be a split district again this season and will have 7 teams advancing onto the Regional Meet. It appears that early on our team will be in the mix to make a top 7 spot.
Girls Team
The girls ranking is a good example of why these rankings are “way to early” because teams might have some runners that do not have a 5k time yet or there might be teams that do not have race results posted on milesplit. For our girls to be 4th is a great spot, when we add in our dual sport athletes our ranking will improve. Similar to the boys, the girls district will split into 2 districts and as of this composite we would be a district runner-up. A good spot to be in at this point in the season.

Final Surge
Getting this training platform rolling this summer has been awesome. Feedback has been positive and the analytics are helping hone in training for athletes. The best part of this app is the more data we mine out of our workouts and training plans, the more specific we will be with training in the future.
