What Amazing Performances By Our Hawks!!!

Every season, I am more impressed by the dedication, the strength, the fortitude, and the fight in our Hawks. On Friday, at the Glenn Rogers Distance Carnival, so many Hawks ran amazing races that I was truly awestruck. We had 27 runners at the meet, and collectively saw 34 PRS!! Way too many to list here, but some highlights include:

Maddi 1600=7:07 (44 second PR!)
Isaac 800=3:15 (24 second PR!)
Gyan 800=3:27 (18 second PR!)
Hadley 1600=6:31 (29 sec PR!), 800=3:03 (15 sec PR!)
Jack 1600=6:40 (12 second PR!)
Mia 1600=6:33 (12 second PR from last week!)

So many great performances, I am so proud of you all! This is what happens when runners do the work, believe in themselves, and get after it in their races.

This coming weekend we don’t have a meet, but the two following weekends we are running in Chico. These meets are super fun, laid back, and relatively short (for track meets). There are only a few events, the 100m, 400m, 800m, 1600m, and 4x400m relay (mixed age groups). There might be a 3200m in either or both, just waiting to see the interest. I will need to receive your RSVP by next Thursday, May 3rd. Your Hawk can run at either or both, just let us know!
