We just got back from the “Run the Ridge” Invitational. I am proud of the boys. They are doing what is right and they will continue to improve. Official results will be posted on www.txrunning.com soon and you can see where they stack up against the rest of the Houston area. That was a big meet especially for August 24^th but it was good for the guys to see some real competition.

THIS WEEK: the boys are to get there long run on Sunday and for the new(er) guys that means 3 miles and for the veterans it means 6 miles. We usually do this on Monday but this week our meet is Friday night so we are shifting the training by 1 day. ON THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL we will practice at 5:30AM so they have time to get ready to go to homeroom at 7:30am. They will come back to 1^st period cross country after homeroom for their daily logbook session. After Monday we will go back to arriving at 5:50am for a 6am start time. ON FRIDAY we will have regular practice at 6am and then leave for our meet in The Woodlands after school. This coming Saturday we will not practice due to the late return time Friday night. However, I encourage the boys to get up early and go over to Seven Lakes HS to watch the meet and get in their required mileage at Seven Lakes. I appreciate the parents who helped me get splits it really is great to have you there! I feel like I am leaving out a lot so email me with questions. The Woodlands meet schedule is attached. Have a great first week of school…

If you didn’t see the meet the girls won the varsity division! Congratulations to the girls on the first ever varsity win in Tompkins history!
