Hello All,

 

We are having a great season and now need to raise our sights for the Mission Valley Athletic League Meet on Thursday, 11/13, at Coyote Hills Park (with races starting at 1:30 pm).  Participants will get out of school early that day and are responsible for their own transportation.  A parking fee may apply at Coyote Hills. 

 

As a reminder, Coach Addison is leading a run through of the Coyote Hills course at the park on Sunday, 11/9, at 10:30 am.  I will also be there.

Directions to the park are at:

To get to the cross country course you need to follow a path that starts at the far end of the parking lot and runs about 2-3 blocks around a hill to a meadow.  Coach Addison may bring some food.

 

Key factors for MSJ success at MVAL's will include:

1) Being well rested, and mentally and physically prepared to compete

2) Applying all of our great hill training in the race

3) Being able to run effectively on the long downhill to the finish

 

We will have a practice at 3 pm on Tuesday, 11/11, for those who can make it.  We will meet at the gym.  There is no school that day.  We will do a short run, stretching and strides.  All of these will help success at the MVAL races.

 

As a reminder, summaries of our 2008 races are at:

Select pictures are found below each summary.
