 The Delta Hawks had a great showing at the SRA Meet on Friday! Almost all of our athletes participated, and everyone ran great. What was most remarkable was the way all of our runners fought through the adversity of the short start and tricky turn. Several Hawks fell during the race, but they got up, continued to compete, and finished with pride!
A special shout out to our medal winners SONIA BROWN (6th place in the 6th grade and under) and ADELEINE GLENN (9th place of 7th/8th grade). They both competed in races with hundreds of local kids and were able to garner top ten medals. But the truth is every Hawk had a great race, because every one of them started the race, competed, and finished strong. The coaches are so proud of you all! This coming week we can do some harder work, as we don't have a meet next weekend. We will be at Lock Hills on Monday and the Boathouse on Thursday. This will likely be the last week at Lock Hills as the sun will be dipping low and we don't want to run on the unevenness of the sand in the dark. It's a good idea to invest in headlamps now, as our practices will soon be in the gloaming and eventually in the dark. Here's this week's schedule: Monday - Intervals at Lock Hills (Meet at STONEGATE ELEMENTARY)
Tuesday - Rest & Stretch Wednesday - On your own
Thursday - Marshall Hill Fartlek (Meet at BRIDGEWAY LAKES BOATHOUSE)
Friday - Rest & Stretch Saturday or Sunday - LONG Easy Run
REMEMBER: What you put into your training will dictate what you get out of your races. Train Hard, Win Easy! Coach Eric

 Another great week of training in the books for out Hawks, and for those who could join us up at Jenkinson Lake we had a good long run and a blast playing in the water!
This coming week, we have our second meet of the season on Friday afternoon. The Sacramento Running Association kindly hosts a series of youth cross country meets that have always been very fun and full of teams from all over the Sacramento region. This year, the location has moved to American River College, located at 4700 College Oak Dr, Sacramento. Parking will be $5 per vehicle, cash only. Please use the main parking entrance off of College Oak Drive and park in the garage located directly north of the ARC Track Stadium by proceeding straight at the roundabout. Parking fees will be collected by volunteers as you arrive; you do not need to pay at the kiosks. From the garage ground floor, you can access the course by proceeding west via the walkway between the tennis courts and the ARC Soccer Stadium. The first race is at 4:45, so I need all Hawks to arrive by 3:45 on Friday. Because the race is on Friday, our Thursday practice will be a little easier. However, come to work on Monday as we will be doing one of our hardest workouts at Lock Hills this year! Here is this week's schedule: Monday - Intervals at Lock Hills (Meet at STONEGATE ELEMENTARY)
Tuesday - Rest & Stretch Wednesday - On your own
Thursday - Marshall Hill Tempo (Meet at BRIDGEWAY LAKES BOATHOUSE)
Friday - SRA Meet #1
Saturday or Sunday - LONG Easy Run

The Delta Hawks Racing Team builds incredible young runners! Our three remaining OHs (Original Hawks from the 2019 inaugural Delta Hawks team) have developed into strong, competitive runners and amazing leaders. That is our mission - to develop the next generation of confident, competitive elite runners in the Sacramento region.
Outstanding performances across the board at the Josh Ruff Memorial Invitational were a demonstration of the Hawks' team accomplishment! We had four runners earn medals (Adeleine and Natalie, Elias and Pier) and the girl's team placed third overall. More importantly, we had younger runners boldly competing against bigger middle school athletes, representing the next generation of elite runners rising from the Delta Hawks ranks! On the girl's side, Josie was the fastest 4th grader in the race, Hadley was the fastest 3rd grader, and our new runner Mia Jackson was the fastest girl under 3rd grade! Meanwhile, our 9-10 boys really dominated for their age, with Pier finishing in 16th place, followed by David, Jack, newcomer Evan Jackson, Tyler, Cal, and Cameron. When Henry joins us, we will be a force to be reckoned with! We won't have another chance to compete for two weeks, but the next race will be a fun one where 6th-grade and under compete in their own race and then 7th/8th graders race each other - giving our younger kids a little more opportunity! This week, we focus on training. We will be at Lock Hills on Monday and the Boathouse on Thursday. Here's the schedule: Monday - Intervals at Lock Hills (Meet at STONEGATE ELEMENTARY)
Tuesday - Rest & Stretch Wednesday - On your own
Thursday - Swamp Relay Run (Meet at BRIDGEWAY LAKES BOATHOUSE)
Friday - Rest & Stretch Saturday or Sunday - LONG Easy Run
