Hawks had another exciting meet this weekend.  At a Nationals tune-up, we had a number of great performances.  Natalie PR'd by 30 seconds over last week, and Nate improved by 23 seconds!

Now we wind down as we approach Kentucky in two weeks.  All of our preparation comes down to this - we are ready to put icing on a great season!

This week, all the kids going to Nationals still need to come to practice - everyone else is welcome to attend if they would like.  Here's what we have planned:

​Monday - Meet at Boathouse
  • 10 min Warm Up & Cool Down
  • Practicing Starts and Finishes at the Swamp
    • 6 laps (start hard, finish fast)
    • Swamp monster in between

Tuesday - Rest & Stretch

Wednesday - Easy Run, on your own
  • 3-4 miles

Thursday - Meet at the Boathouse
  • 10 min Warm Up & Cool Down
  • Tempo run
    • 20 mins at Marshall Hills
    • Rock/Paper/Scissors

Friday - Rest and Stretch

Saturday - Long Run, on your own
  • 5-7 miles

Sunday - Rest and Stretch

Run Tough,

Hot Ending to a Hot Season!

Hawks brought home more hardware, this time the younger athletes represented with wins in both the boys and girls 8-under races! Josie, Hanah, and Sophie scored the win on the girl's side, while Jack, Cal, and Allan brought it home in the boy's race. Congrats Hawks!

We had a bunch of great performances, and are proud of all our runners.  One interesting observation - most of these kids ran a similar course back in September at the Josh Ruff Invite.  While EVERYONE ran a faster pace today than they did then, even though the race was longer, Nate and Owen improved their race paces by more than 30 seconds, and Abigail improved her pace by more than 50 seconds!

To all our athletes who wrapped up their season today - great job.  To those who are continuing on with us, let's build on this momentum next week and all the way to Nationals!

Speaking of building, we have more practice this week.  Everyone going to Nationals needs to do these workouts; anyone else is welcome to join as you can.  See the schedule below.

Hopefully you all remembered to change your clocks for Daylight Savings! Unfortunately, it will now be getting dark even earlier, so you NEED to bring YOUR HEADLAMPS.  We want to keep you safe, and honestly it will be very difficult to finish your workout without a light.

Also, due to the fact that we have races on Sundays the next three weeks, we are moving our long runs to Wednesday. For those of you who were doing Wednesday runs (gray and black groups), you will just go longer that day.  Yellow and White groups, you need to get out there on Wednesday and do an easy run. 

THIS THURSDAY, we are meeting at Silt Winery at 4:30pm for practice and team movie night! More details can be found on the team app.

Finally, this Sunday we are doing the Clarksburg Country Run. We want to see all the hawks out there in their racing gear, representing our flock!


Monday - Repeat 400s, Meet at Boathouse
  • 10 min Warm Up & Cool Down
  • Marshall Hills 400m Intervals - FAST
    • White/Yellow: 6-8
    • Grey/Black: 10-12
  • 2min Rest in between

Tuesday - Rest & Stretch

Wednesday - Long Run, on your own
  • White/Yellow: 3-4 miles
  • Grey/Black: 5-7 miles

Thursday - Tempo, Meet at SILT WINERY
