Hawks Have Another Big PR Weekend!

The Hawks competed this weekend at the Glenn Rogers Distance Carnival, running in both the 800m and the 1600m Middle School events. As we like to remind our athletes, every race is ultimately against yourself, so it didn’t matter how many older kids might cross the line before you. Given that, we had an AMAZING meet, with almost every Hawks running a PR! And of those few who didn’t quite run their fastest times ever, the effort and drive was apparent on their smiling little faces as they pushed to the finish line. Way to go Hawks!

Our next competition is a two-day meet at Benicia High School on both Saturday and Sunday. This is a big USATF youth meet, and our athletes will compete in their two-year age groups. On Saturday, the 3000m is available to older kids and the 800m is open to all. On Sunday, the 1500m will be offered. Athletes can come to either or both days, it is completely up to you. Unfortunately, we don’t have great information about the meet yet. We are guessing it will begin around 9am each day; the 3000m will be early on Saturday while the 800m will be later in the day; the 1500m appears to be in the middle of the day on Sunday. As we get more information, we will share it on the TeamSnap app.

Coach Haley will post on the TeamSnap app the list she has registered and their events – if you see any mistakes please let her know asap.

Our kids keep improving, and a big reason for that is how hard they are working at practice! Now is the time in the season when the easy wins run out and the gains come from keeping at it and continuing to work. Try to get a long run in on the weekend. The schedule for this week is as follows:
