 Our journey with the Delta Hawks has been incredible thus far. Starting back in January we built something, it was a racing team....no, it is so much more than that. It is a community, a tribe, a group of families that support their kids and those kids are amazing!
This weekend's Regional Championships was an outcome that involved every member of this team. Coaches, parents, athletes....athletes that competed and athletes that supported. This weekend was a Hawk weekend. Who would have thought that in the first cross country season ever for the Delta Hawks that we would have qualified 14 athletes to the Junior Olympic National Championships (That is 45% of the team!). Under 8 Girls (All Girls Qualified for JO Nationals) Abigail: 6th Place - 8:41 (6:59) Sonia: 8th Place - 8:56 (7:11) Raegan: 10th Place - 9:37 (7:44) Under 8 Boys (Both Boys Qualified for JO Nationals) Cohen: 7th Place - 8:17 (6:40) Bode: 15th Place - 8:54 (7:10) 9/10 Girls (Both Girls Qualified for JO Nationals) Adeleine: 5th Place - 13:03 (7:00) Natalie: 13th Place - 13:58 (7:30) 9/10 Boys Charlie: 33rd Place - 13:41 (7:20) 11/12 Boys (3rd Place Team - Qualified to JO Nationals) Matthew: 12th Place - 11:44 (6:18) Dylan: 18th Place - 12:09 (6:31) John: 36th Place - 13:03 (7:00) Sully: 37th Place - 13:05 (7:01) Myles: 38th Place - 13:13 (7:05) Sam: 41st Place - 13:29 (7:14) Ryko: 51st Place - 14:41 (7:53)  Two weeks to go! 14 of our Hawks have qualified to Nationals and it looks like 7 of those 14 have chose to make the trip to Wisconsin. As we prep those 7 to perform well in the final meet of the year we invite all of the Hawks to continue coming to practice as many of you are still looking to run great holiday themed races in December.
Week 17 (12/2 - 12/8) Monday - Rest (other sports ok) Tuesday Hawks practice 5:30pm at the Boat House Mix Speed Play Wednesday - Rest (other sports ok) Thursday - Rest (other sports ok) Friday Hawks practice 5:30pm at the Boat House Marshall Hill Intervals Saturday - Rest (other sports ok) Sunday Hawks practice 3:00pm at the Boat House Marshall Hill Long/Tempo Mix  Recovery and Be Race Ready.

Week 16 (11/15 - 12/1) Monday - Rest (other sports ok) Tuesday Hawks practice 5:30pm at the Boat House Mix Speed Play assuming we are recovered. Wednesday - Rest (other sports ok) Thursday - Rest (other sports ok) Friday Hawks practice 5:30pm at the Boat House Race Prep Short Fartlek Workout Strides Saturday - Rest (other sports ok) Sunday REGIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS WOODWARD PARK, FRESNO  It's crazy to think this team has only existed for 202 days. In those 202 days we have seen so many amazing performances, a team come together and a community made stronger. We can't thank this kids enough. WAY TO GO HAWKS!
As you ready today's recap pay close attention to the notes as it would be easy to assess today simply by who qualified for Regionals and who didn't. But there is so much more to the story. Take a look at the pace improvement from the last time we were at Folsom. 8 & Under Girls (2.2km): All 3 Qualified to Regionals
Keep in mind on paces this course was .36 longer than the last time at Folsom.
Again this course was .36 longer than previous Folsom course.
Elizabeth has been battling an illness and was brave enough to start the race. We are so proud of her willingness to try. As we say, all we ask is your best on any given day. To day her best was to make a smart decision to pull out of the race and start recovering. 11/12 Boys (3km): Team Qualifies for Regionals with a 4th Place Finish. Again course is .36 longer than previous Folsom course.
Keep in mind with this group they ran .98 further this time versus last time on this course.

Whatever you want to call it, these kids have improved a ton. We had a discussion at practice last night about how "easy" tempo runs are now. Remember 12 weeks ago, the kids barely knew what a tempo was and thought "whew that was tough". So here we go the final push into championship season and the goal is clear. How many Hawks can we qualify to the National Championships! Fly Hawks!
