Last Week This Week....
Team Thoughts...
Last week was our 2nd meet at Centaurus Invite....the first race for many of our runners!
Some positives were....getting to the start line, when coaches are busy with timing the other races...Good job by some of the vets on the team.
Commitment: Being part of the team......WE > ME....I know we had some that "had" to leave early. The team awards are a reflection of everyone on the team and not just those in that race. We all work together. It was disappointing that some of the team just hung out by the tent and did not support the boys that finished 3rd in JV and 3rd in the Varsity division
Keep out on the course too...and cooldown by cheering for your teammates in the other races
After each race, you should cool down with a mile or more just to stay loose and then recover. When we warm up...we should begin 45 minutes before the race. Start with a 10 minute easy run then some leg swings and dynamic drills (together)...Then you have time for individual time - Its a good idea to get in a 2-3 min race pace run...to get the heart rate up. Go to the start line together and get in 2-3 good strides.
FOR LYONS: Bus leaves at 6:45 am so be at school by 6:30. Make sure to bring your bag home on Friday night so you are ready to go in the morning. Fill out the travel log.....pre meet info so we know your travel plans too. Also set some process goals....make the commitment to yourself and to the team
Since it is homecoming day...If you need to leave right after your race (this week)....just sign out. We will have a signout by the tent. The race schedule is posted in this blog and also sent out on Remind
Any questions, please talk to the coaches
Please remember the top practice routine to get better is consistency...Which means...be at practice everyday......make that your commitment! Homework, meetings, appointments should be rare and not reasons to miss practice.....Please communicate when you must miss practice. Some of you do this well by making up the run early...thank you!
We will also have picture day next week on Tuesday!
Good Better Best.
The long blue line.........Go Titans...Go XC.....Go Legend!!!

Homecoming and Lyons Meet 9/9
For Parents and Runners
With a lot going on this week, here is some info on Saturday. The meet is at Lyons High School which is about an hour drive. Please drive safely and plan on traffic with parking. They will charge $5 to help support the meet. No Dogs please. Our Bus leaves school at 6:45am sharp! All runners will be able to complete a info form from the website and Remind to tell us how they will get and leave the meet. We will also have a checkout signout sheet by the tent. We should have the tent located near the endzone in the grass. since this is homecoming, kids may leave once they have checked out if they need time to prepare for the homecoming dance, etc.

Speaking of Homecoming: We have an assembly and a parade that some of the kids are involved int. The Parade is on Wednesday after practice. WE NEED A TRUCK. Currently we do not have a vehicle to drive in the parade. Usually we have a parent volunteer to drive the slow trip from Legend to CIMS. Some of the team will sit in the back of a truck and toss candy. The rest of the team will walk behind. If you are able to help, please email Coach Miller or Coach Gregston or let us know.
We will also be asking the kids to bring in bags of small candy for the parade. This is a fun time for them to show off and represent our team and school
Runners: Please complete the Lyons form again this week found on the website and also on Remind. This helps us with transportation info and also with goal setting. We will have a return bus!
Any other questions, please reach out. We are busy again with homecoming and planning our next 3 weeks of meets, including our varsity (top 24) trip to Kansas along with fundraising.
Thanks for your support!
