Hawks First Race Week!

We are finally ready for our first races of the season! Some of us will be racing at the Halden Invitational in Davis on Saturday evening, while the rest of us are running a team time trial at McClatchy track on Saturday morning. The time trial will be a blast, with some running the 800m and others competing in the 1600m. We will meet at 9am to warm up together, go over the start of a race on a track for the newer athletes, and break into our race groups.

The runners competing at Halden need to arrive by 4:30pm to warm up and be ready to compete when the heats begin.

This week, we do a medley of intervals on Monday at McClatchy, our throwing practice on Wednesday at Bridgeway Island, and a hard tempo on Thursday from the Boathouse. Don't worry about going easy this week in order to be fresh for the race on Saturday - we train through our meets so that we can peak for the important championship races at the end of the season.

Our next meet, the Glenn Rogers Distance Carnival at Sheldon High School in Elk Grove, is a fun meet on Friday evening, April 19th. We have to register our athletes by next weekend so please RSVP on the team app as soon as possible if you plan to attend. We have updated information on the team app event.
