Highland Results & South Summit info

I need to give a massive congratulations to you all for the effort that I saw at Highland last week! It was hot (they mentioned 10 athletes were taken by ambulance), it was still smokey air quality, and there were 250+ runners in every race. That being said we hit some huge goals as a team as we were top teams in the 3A categories and have put ourselves in the runnings for State Championships early in the season. If that doesn't make you hungry and motivate you to train harder and stay positive then I don't know what will. It shows how our hard work this summer is paying off! DON'T get complacent though, we need to keep setting goals and keep working becasue we know every team will be working just as hard to have that same opportunity!

Premiere Invite Results and Upcoming week!

Premiere Results:  https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/meet/146753/results

Well good crap team! That was definitely a great way to start our 2018 season! We found SO much success Saturday it was fun to see. In every race we had people throwing out huge pr's and smashing their goals for their first race. We had 12 medalists and both our boys and girls teams came away with 1st place trophies!! I couldn't be more proud of you all for leaving it out their on the course. My favorite thing from Saturday was as I was running ALL over the course I would see our teammates all over yelling for each other. I know that running is really individual and you can only focus on you and make your legs move... but I could feel each of you running for your team, for this family we have created. It is the reason we will find SO much success this year. You all have been working so hard at practice and trusting everything Coach Weir and I have thrown at you.. I hope these results get you excited and hungry for more. Don't get complacent and settle after a meet like that. You know every team in the state wants to take Morgan down and we will do WHATEVER IT TAKES to come together, get confident, and run for each other and our team goals.

This Friday we race at the Highland Invitational which is run on the State Course slightly altered and much shorter and faster! It will be another 2.9 mile course like the one we just ran.
