Hawks Fly at Halden Invite!

The Delta Hawks ran amazing races this weekend at the Halden Invite in Davis. The rain ended just around 5pm, the air lightened up, the brisk evening ambience set up perfectly for distance racing.  Nearly every Hawk ran a PR compared to last year, with some of the most impressive improvements as follows:

Harper – 64 seconds
McKenna - 54 seconds
Tyler - 53 seconds (equiv)
Natalie – 31 seconds
Sonia – 27 seconds

It was an amazing night for our athletes! While the heavy rain Saturday morning forced us to cancel the time trial, we are planning to make it up at practice on Monday! Can’t wait to see what all our Hawks can do to begin the season. In order to give us all a benchmark to compare against later this year, we will all run a fast 800m on Monday. I hope to see everyone at the McClatchy track tomorrow!

As for our meet on Friday, it looks like the schedule has shifted. For those who wish to run the 1600m, that is now scheduled as the first event of the meet, so those athletes need to arrive no later than 1:15pm. If that is too early, or if you don’t want to race the 1600 this week, the 800m is more likely to be around 4pm so those athletes only running the 800 need to arrive around 3pm. If you have any questions about the schedule, please contact the coaching team.

For this week, our schedule is as follows:

Monday:  5:30pm at McClatchy High School Track
10 min warm up, drills, strides
