Golden Success at Golden West!

 Another great day for the Delta Hawks! Of the 26 Hawks who participated in the Golden West Invitational, 20 ran a personal best for the season!  That is just crazy, and continues to support our 3-Ts: Talent (everyone has it), Training (everyone is getting it) and Toughness (everyone is showing it)!  

Too many Hawks ran awesome races to highlight them all, but the biggest gains were as follows:

• In the 1500m, Reagan ran a 23 second PR, Jack improved by 22 seconds, and John ran 20 seconds faster than his previous best.
• In the 800m, Callan ran a 13 second PR (to go with his 18 second PR in the 1500), and Stella ran a monster 10 second PR.
• Ryko continues to improve in the 3000m, lowering his best by another 10 seconds.

It was particularly great to see so many Hawks finish strong, as this was the last meet for many teammates.  But remember, anyone can still come to practice the rest of June as our Comp team hones their speed and prepares for Championship season.

Speaking of Championship season, next weekend is the USATF Pacific Association Championships in Rancho Cordova.  Refer to the previous post for more information and reach out to me if you want to participate.

REMINDER: Next Monday, June 13th, is the Team Party!  We won't meet for team practice that day (there will be a workout to do on your own); we will instead celebrate our successful season at Jack Rabbit Brewing from 6-8pm.  Please let us know if you have any questions.

This week, we begin ramping down at practice.  This means a little less quantity and increased quality.  Hawks need to come to practice rested, hydrated, and ready to work hard.  This is what we've all been working toward.  See below for the schedule:

Monday:  5:30pm at River City High School Track
10 min warm up, drills
600m, 400m jog/2x400m, 400m jog/4x200m, 200m jog
