If you feel like you got wrecked yesterday at the Early Season Meet don’t freak out. Keep calm and run on. One meet down and two to go this week equals 3 meets in 8 days. Don’t freak out. Just run, just race and run some more.

A couple notes for some perspective.

Sadie Miller now ranks 26 all-time for the FHS girls with her freshman debut yesterday moving one spot ahead of Kinley Green with a 22:13.29. This is also the 5th fastest Freshman time ever for FHS CC.

Ava Lahmers also making some history with a 20:58.90 moving into 14th all-time for FHS girls just ahead of Lindsey Reeds 2001 time of 20:59.00. Lindsey’s time stood as the school record for 16 years until 2017 when Adeline Fitzwater broke it. Since then the school record has been broken again every year. The record is currently held by team Captain Rachael Hoover at 19:11.00. Ava now holds the 3rd fastest Freshman time for FHS CC behind Hoover and Mara Vicari. Also Ava is 2 spots behind her sister Elaina.

Even if we felt wrecked yesterday don’t freak out.

Boy’s we have to drop 2:45 off of all our times to hit on our end of season goals. Team time was 20:37 yesterday. Don’t freak out, keep calm and run on. Last Wednesday’s work out was awesome but it doesn’t always translate to Saturday races. We have to train ourselves to be wreckers. We’ll see how we bounce this week.
