PRs Abound for Hawks This Weekend!

Another amazing weekend for the Hawks! While most of the Hawks competed in the "PR Invitational" In Rancho, a few runners went to Oakland for the 3M Invite.  PRs were run at both meets!

In Oakland, Pier and Foster ran great 3ks, PRing in both. I have to mention that Elias also ran PRs in the 1500 and 3k (breaking the Pacific Association record for 13-14 boys)!

In Rancho Cordova, there were a bunch of amazing performances! Just as a few examples, Tyler ran big races in both the 1600 and 800, improving 10 seconds in both. Maddi ran two PRs as well, improving 28 seconds in the 1600! And Kate is really finding her stride in the 800, running 2:53 and approaching the team record for her age group!

This is what happens when athletes put the work in! Improving every meet isn't guaranteed - circumstances can arise that trip us up at some points - but our overall trajectory is up when we do the work and open ourselves up to opportunity. I can't tell you how much we coaches love to see every one of you guys reach your potential!

This weekend (Memorial Day weekend) we have a two-day meet in Modesto. The registration deadline is Tuesday, please RSVP as soon as possible.  THe following weekend (June 1-2) we have the Golden West Invite in Rancho Cordova.
