Tom Moore Invite Delivers for Our Hawks!

The Hawks traveled to Modesto for the Tom Moore Invitational this weekend and were greeted with amazing weather and even more amazing performances!

I want to bring a few amazing performances to everyone’s attention though. First, in our nascent throwing arena, Cal had an amazing weekend! With a huge 11 foot PR in the Javelin (from 57 feet to 68 feet) Cal took 4th overall in his age group against elite competition! Our other throwers also did their best on the infield.

In addition, our 11-12 girls literally flew around the track this weekend! Josie had a strong 3k on Saturday, running her way to an 8th place time in her age group in the region. Then, in the 1500m in Sunday, our girls went flying, running out of their heads! Sonia ran 5:27, 17 seconds faster than her equivalent time from her earlier 1600m time! Harper ran 5:40, also 17 seconds faster than her equivalent time; Maddi ran 5:49, 25 seconds faster than her best equivalent time! These girls are on fire! Can’t wait to see how fast these girls can run this season (and can’t wait to see this team next cross country season!!!).

This coming weekend (June 1st) we have the Golden West Invite in Rancho Cordova. Registration is closed, this is who I have registered: Adeleine, Natalie, Mackenna, Elias, Foster, Luke, Isaac, Sonia, Josie, Maddi, Harper, Kate, Pier, David, Jack, Cal, Gyan, Hadley, Cam, Max, Jai, Mac, and Matix.
