Hey team,
Great job Thursday in some really hot weather. We came in 4th out of 8 teams. We had a couple PRs and some nice finishes. We don't have a meet for about 2 weeks, so be ready to train hard. The harder you train, the better results you will see at our next meet.
Speaking of our next meet, we will have our one and only Home Meet October 9th. It will be relatively small compared to some of the others we've been to, but for many of you, this will be the last race you compete in on our course. Prince Avenue, Washington-Wilkes, and Taliaferro have all confirmed coming to the race. The weather should be a lot cooler and I'm expecting a lot of PRs.
Let's work hard this week!

East Jackson Invitational
Hey team,
What a great day Saturday! I know most of you were dreading to race in the rain, but hopefully you had some fun. The weather really turned what would have been a fast course into a slow course, so don't be too discouraged with your times. Even so, we had some great efforts out there. Avel, Robert, and Jesse were all really booking it in the Varsity Boys race; Josh did a great job getting third place; and there were some great finishes in the JV Boys race, especially Richard and Swain.
This was a great race to see how we compare to other teams in the region. Though we placed behind Dawson and Jefferson, we still rank ahead of Jefferson overall for the year and are not too far behind Dawson. But let's not dwell too much on that and just focus on the next week.
We have another race at Athens Christian on Thursday. This will be a great way to compare our times at the beginning of the season to now. Let's really work hard this week!

Banks Results
The best part about the Banks Race is the fact that it's over. I think it's safe to say that the times we had for the race will not figure into our rankings all that much. There will be far better courses to PR on in the weeks ahead. I wish we could have gotten some more accurate times for some of you, but that's just how it goes sometimes. Let's put it past us and move on...
September 19th - East Jackson Invitational. This is a Saturday morning race and will have a lot of good regional competition. The course will be a lot better (less "humans") and there will be official timers. The Varsity races only allow 7 to enter so work hard in the week ahead and you just might put yourself in a better position. More details to come.
**Back to Banks...Congrats to Kiyanna for beating her PR at Banks of all places, and Josh for setting the course record.

Banks Race
Hey everyone,
I know we're all dying to see how the football team does Friday, but don't forget that we have an important race coming up on Tuesday. There's no school Monday and unfortunately no practice either, so come ready to run Tuesday. We are going to Banks County and leaving around 2:30pm so you'll get to leave just a little early. DON'T FORGET YOUR UNIFORM!!!!!...or for that matter, yourself (not naming names or anything).
Directions to Banks will be sent out over email. I'm not exactly sure when we'll return to the school. I'm guessing 7:30ish. Make sure you do at the least some light running over the weekend.
In other news...Congratulations to Holloway for being named Athlete of the Week for his recent performances at Athens Academy's 3K race and the Northeast GA Championships.
