Amazing End to a Great Regular Season!

Amazing End to a Great Regular Season!

PLEASE NOTE: Regular season practices are done; however, if your athlete wants to continue to practice with the team, there are two options available. Please see this blog post for more information. If you are attending practices this summer, please check the TeamSNAP app for the location, as it will alternate between West Sac and Davis on any given week based on coach availability.

The Hawks finished up the regular season at the Golden West Invitational this weekend, and they performed like champions as usual! It is frankly amazing how well this group of runners show up at each race and give their all on the track; each Hawk is learning valuable lessons each time they put on their racing shoes.

The meet this weekend kicked off on Friday night with the Jackson siblings battling with high school kids in the 3200m. It was amazing to see them on the line with kids their age up to seniors in high school and go after it like it was any other meet! They both earned medals in their age groups as well. On Saturday the Hawks ran the 1500m. We had a number of impressive races, with Miles, Irene, Maddi, and Josie all finishing the season with PRs! Sunday brought the 800m races and a whole bunch more PRs. In fact, almost every Hawk who ran on Sunday ran their fastest time of the season!

One great example of a Hawk persevering and making the most of the season is Irene Inadomi – who ran PRs in both the 1500m and 800m this weekend. But more than that, she just steadily improved from week-to-week. Here are her 1500m times over the season: 8:21 – 7:40 – 7:28 – 7:22. This is amazing work, and comes as a result of running each week, following the plan, and believing in herself. Every Hawk does this in their own way, and it is this type of growth and success that brings us coaches and volunteers back each season for more!
