Hawks Show Up and Show Off at Second Inderkum Meet

This week our flying Hawks took to the track for the second time at Inderkum, and once again we saw a significant number of personal bests! From David Rodriguez running his first sub 5-minute 1500m to Cam getting under 7 minutes for the first time, nearly all of our Hawks continue to see improvement from week to week. In addition, we had some medal-winning performances! Hawks placing in the top three in their age group to earn hardware include: Cypress Connelly (3rd in 9-10 girls 1500m), Jai Hooks (2nd in 9-10 boys 1500m), Mia Jackson (2nd in 11-12 girls 1500m), and Miles Chavez (2nd in under 8 boys 800m).

Speaking of Mia, I need to beg forgiveness as I missed an important milestone from the Intrasquad meet last weekend. Mia, in her first 3000m of her career, broke the team’s 11-12 team record by running 12:12, five seconds faster than Natalie Mittleman’s previous record time. Congrats Mia! This weekend, Mia finished only two seconds off of the team’s 1500m record for the 11-12 age group. She already holds the team’s record for the 9-10 age group. For anyone interested in checking out our team records, they can be found here on our website.

Our next competition is the super-fun “Striders Fast Five” meet at Chico High School that our athletes always really enjoy. The meet begins at 11am, we would like to have all athletes arrive by 10am. There are five running events - the 1600, 400, 100, 800, and 4x400 (in that order) – and we are willing to let any Hawk enter any of these events at this meet, so please indicate your interest in the TeamSnap app so we can register the team by this Wednesday.

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.
