Team members get a treat if they can stop by my room and tell me what the current quote is! For This week: ' 'Knowing is not enough; we must apply.
Willing is not enough we must do.” ---------- Goethe Previous: Cross Country beats track like a farmer beats a rented Mule. If not you, WHO? If not now, WHEN? --unknown If you can fill the Unforgiving Minute with sixty seconds worth of Distance run . . . from "IF" by Rudyard Kipling "The will to win means nothing if you haven't the will to prepare."
Excellent Run to End 2007 Season FAVC Champion Michelle Geiger ran in her first Regional Championship Meet on Sat. 10/27. A cool, moist day, with soft ground created nearly ideal running conditions. The top 16 individuals would qualify to the State Meet, something no Norwood runner has done since 1995. Michelle started well, but the leaders never let up. Michelle finished with a 21:07, her second best time ever and an 8 second improvement from Districts, and finished 52 out of 129 girls. A great experience, and Michelle, Toria Alsip, and Josh Barlow ALL plan on being in the race next year. AND the year after. What a great group of sophomores! This was a very good race, a great experience, and an upbeat end to a good season of XC running. As we stare the Off-Season square in the face I have been challenged by one of the parent's (you know who you are, CG) to run a series of motivational quotes here, so it doesn't get stale over the winter. I can't think of a better start than this, from a great marathoner: (see above, I moved it with the later quotes) | Can we recapture our Crown? Our Girls team did NOT defend their '06 title at the '07 meet. We were a close third, and if everything had gone well we MIGHT have won. But we didn't. If we want to recapture the title, the time is NOW. Championships, especially distance running ones, are won in the off season. MILES now, during track season, and over the summer are CRITICAL.
