Update - 4:30 PM - 4/20/17

We've had a good week of practice with those in town and I've heard from most of our varsity athletes who are out of town.  It sounds like many of them are continuing to work hard while on vacation.  Great job!!!  I can't wait to get the whole team back together.  Until then, here's the plan.  We will meet for an easy practice tomorrow morning and then split the team for two meets on Saturday.  Details below with more to come after tomorrow's practice.

Quick Recap - 

Dual meet Vs. Ann Arbor Huron
Full team results & score
Results on Athletic.net - Look at all of those PR's!!!

What a terrific home meet.  After we finally got the timing system working smoothly, the meet went very well.  Thanks for taking care of one another.  Once again, our leadership was strong and you competed with sportsmanship & integrity.

A very special thanks to the parents who volunteered.  Thank you for your patience.  We're normally a little better organized with assignments / tasks.  On Thursday, we weren't sure of how we were going to time the meet until the last minute and we greatly appreciate your flexibility and helpfulness.
The meet was a good predictor for the rest of the season.  I've taken a close look at our strengths and weaknesses and I'm really looking forward to the championship season.  We still have work to do, but it's going to be a good year!!!

Coming Up - 


  • This week, for those in town, we will train hard.  It's hard to believe, but this is our last week of heavy workouts.  We will still work hard, but from here on out, we will place the emphasis on racing over training and start thinking about additional qualifying standards - 
  • Even though many of our athletes will still be out of town for Saturday's Belleville Tiger Relays, we can put together a lineup that will challenge for another invitational win.  
  • Following break on Tuesday, 5/25 we travel to Saline for our most important meet in April.  WE CAN COMPETE WITH THEM!!!  
    • If you're reading this and you're in town, be ready to work this week.  
    • If you're out of town, please remember your commitment to our program.  
    • We want you to enjoy your vacation, but when time allows, please try to follow our spring break training plan.  
      • At the very least, take care of your body with daily cardio & strength, plenty of rest, and proper nutrition and hydration.
