Delta Hawks Track 2025 Takes Flight!

Here We Go! Track season starts now, Delta Hawks, who is with me? Let’s get going!

This weekend, we had a number of Hawks (and Hawks Adjacent) run in the Shamrock’n race so we are already off to a good start. First up, Katie Cook battled her way through the crowd of little ones to try and catch the leprechauns in the children’s half-mile. Then, a flock of Hawks ran in the 5k and many finished in the medals! We had Henry finish first in his age group, followed closely by Tyler in second; Josie also grabbed first with Maddi right behind in second as well! Carson also nabbed second in his age group. Also Max, Jack, Cal and Cam all crushed the 5k. We had Sonia step up to the 10k and finish second in her age group there as well! Finally, we had a number of Hawk parents complete the half marathon (despite the messed up course) and feel good about it! Dan and Haley (Maddi’s parents), Jenny (Tyler, Max, and Katie’s mom), Amy (Mac’s mom), Kai (Cam’s mom), and Andrew (Natalie and Jack’s dad) all represented our team well on the course!

Tomorrow (Monday) we have a great first practice on the track – it is time to get moving! We will be at River City High School track at 6pm. We will be doing speed and power on Mondays, and those interested in doing some high jump or long jump training can stay after. We might do some throwing practice on Mondays after the track work as well.

On Wednesday, those interested in trying out and/or improving their throwing skills can meet with Coaches Blake and Molly at Bridgeway Island Elementary at 5:30. There will also be a good long warm up jog to satisfy that Wednesday run requirement.

Thursday we meet at the Boathouse at 5:30 for our strength endurance work.

Over the weekend, we expect all Hawks to get a 3-6 mile long run in. We will talk more about the importance of the long run (and the importance of consistency) at practice this week.

For any questions, be sure to reach out to the coaches.

Let’s get going!
