About 51 weeks ago members of the Central XC team watched Sara Brekke run at the state meet. "This could be all of you next year if you work hard" was said several times. The girls did just that, building sweat equity (muscle and cardio) in the off season, doing due diligence to summer running, and pushing the gas pedal through intense interval and tempo workouts. I'm proud of these girls' accomplishment of earning that trip to state.
While celebration is necessary, these girls match up well with some very good teams at state. I hope the gals will soak in and enjoy the experience, but put it all out there during the race. They are a great team and can place if they put their minds to it.
TRANSPORTATION: We will be taking a coach bus for male and female runners, as well as XC team members. We will leave from CHS at 8:45 AM and get back around 6:30 (late if a trip to my alma mater, Lincoln High, is needed for awards). The bus needs to be quiet on the way up for the competitors. Spectators will get "booted" from the bus prior to the races for athletes to get geared up. Dress for cold (and maybe rainy?) weather. Bring money for admission($6) and food. The girls run at 1:20 and Sam at 3:20. The bus may be stopping in Rapids or Tomah on the way home for food, so plan some extra time and money if you want to buy something.
