Hello All,
Everyone on the team is expected to run in the dual meet (immediately after school) with Irvington High School on Wednesday, 9/23, at Coyote Hills Park.
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 (allow extra time). Everyone is responsible for their own transportation to the race. It is expected to be 99 degrees, so you should plan to bring adequate water. Also, ensure that you have a uniform prior to the race. The Parks Service may charge an entry fee at the gate.
Key factors for success at Coyote Hills 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
The race order is expected to be:
F/S Boys
JV Girls
JV Boys
Varsity Girls
Varsity Boys
After the great MSJ results at the Farmers Invitational (more information to follow), every MVAL team will be focusing on MSJ. Can we improve at a faster rate than they can through the end of the season?? I expect that with Coach Marden's great workouts, we will.
