Big Weekend of PRs, Sac Track Union Champs Next Weekend!

What a crazy weekend in Berkeley! Saturday was cool and drizzly but that didn't stop our kids from running some amazing 3Ks and 800s; Sunday was sun-kissed (and a little rushed) but still led to some more PRs!

First on Saturday, Norah stunned the crowd by running a 2:23 800m, setting up a bunch of other Hawks running their fastest 800m times of the season including: Paloma, Evan, Harper, Isaac, Gyan, Josie, David, Cal, Cam, and Mac. What an exciting group of races by our team!

On Sunday, we had a shock(!) when they ran the 200m heats in an amazingly efficient manner which meant our Hawks' 1500m races were earlier than expected. Everyone got to the track on time, but without as much warmup and settling in as we would have liked. Nevertheless, we got another bunch of amazing PRs from our Hawks. Ollie ran 4:48 (13 second PR), Norah ran 5:01 (15 sec PR), Elias ran 4:27 (6 sec PR), Josie ran 6:13 (7 sec PR), and David ran 5:41 (14 sec PR). What a day!

Next week we have another opportunity to compete at the Sac Track Union Championships at Inderkum High School. If you have not RSVPd yet, please do so. The 3k runners need to get there as early as 7:30am on Saturday - I will try to estimate (as accurately as I can!) when the other runners need to arrive once we know how many athletes register for the meet.
