in Practice by coach mike on 07 Sep 2007
Finally the state has posted the regional assignments, we are going to Olney, along with Centralia, Mattoon, Charleston, Effingham, Mt. Carmel, Paris, Bresse Meter Dei, and us.
We are very excited about the regional, should get the kids worked up about having a chance to win a regional championship.
Bus leaves at 7:30 am this is like sleeping in, unlike leaving at 6 am. This is a flighted race, which means there are seven different races plus a couple of open races. Starting with your #7 runners, boys and girls are out there at the same time. At the end of the day you total the points and low score wins. Based on early races should be the host school Mt. Vernon winning both boys and girls, but I think we’ll go ahead and show up and see what happens.
At practice today, the boys thought they were being sneaky by starting to run and then going to play Frisbee football. Nice try guys! Most of the girls went to order team shirts, then ran 2 miles or so, with 200m stride outs on the track. Going to the big football game tonight, should be a good one, high school football at its best! If any of you cc people are reading this after the game-GET IN BED!!!!!!!!
