Hawks Crush It At Lagoon Valley

As expected, our Hawks are already flying this season! At the Lagoon Valley Classic, against kids 8th grade and younger, we had two top-40 finishes (way to go Sonia and Pier!) and even more impressive - we finished as the third place team in both the boy's and girl's races! Only Miwok Middle beat us on the boy's side, but we beat 7 MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAMS with our 5 scoring boys in grades 5th, 8th, 6th, 5th, and 5th. In the girl's race, Miwok and Cal beat us but our scoring girls in grades 7th, 5th, 6th, 4th, and 5th beat 4 MIDDLE SCHOOLS. What amazing teams, and valiant efforts by every Hawk on the course yesterday!

This coming weekend we don't have any races, which means we can really begin training in earnest. For the rest of September, here is our schedule:

Saturday, Sept 14, Josh Ruff Invite in Folsom
Friday, Sept 20, SRA Youth Meet #1 at American River College
