INDOOR TRACK UPDATE

 

COACH KIRK IN THE HALL OF FAME  (Chagrin Falls website article)

I just want to thank all of the athletes, parents, coaches, administration, and the community for all of the kind emails and words that you have sent in congratulations of this award.  It is truly an honor, but it is also humbling.  To you athletes – you are the reason any coach wins an award like this.  Please know that we have always been proud of you more for the kind of people you are as much as for your athletic accomplishments.  Anybody can coach elite athletes.  Being a part of the lives of elite people such as yourselves is – and will always be – counted amongst the blessings I have had in my life.  Thank you, all of you!  It will be a fun evening I’m sure.   

 

JANUARY, 2012

The 24 week training schedule is underway that takes us to the culmination of training – State Meet, the first weekend of June.  Be patient – no reason to overdo it.  There will be plenty of time to go fast later.  Pay attention to the weather!  Don’t put yourself in a dangerous position.  Be careful of your health!  As the weather fluctuates, so will the cold and flu season.  LOTS of fluids!  Remember – it is easier to dehydrate in cold weather than in hot weather.  Fluids!

 

EMS forms and running schedules are available in room 322.  These first six weeks (Start date was December 19) should just be an easy buildup of mileage and getting moving – some strides here and there and lots of stretching.  Practice good forms!  Running is Sunday through Friday – Saturday is an off day.  Get to the weight room if you can 2-3 times per week and concentrate on the core exercises.

 

INDOOR SCHEDULING MEETING

Listen to the announcements.  We will get the schedule put together at this meeting.  Decisions will be made by those who show up.  If you have not turned in your paperwork – you need to do so.  Also make sure your physical is current.  Seeya then!

 

 

 

 

Medical paperwork must be kept current, so be sure to check your physicals.  If your name doesn’t appear, you can get an official OHSAA examination form in the Athletic Office or you can also download it directly to your site.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

SCIOTO DOWNS RACEWAY - COLUMBUS

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7

 

What a race!  We wish you could have all seen your team captain in action because she was MAGNIFICENT!  From the gun, she was off and running with the lead pack and she never faltered.  This was Kirsten’s third trip to Columbus and she made the most of it.  She finished 10th – she made the podium for the medal ceremony (top 15 get this honor) – she earns All-Ohio honors – she is Academic All-Ohio – she is the second highest finish ever at the State Cross Country Meet by a Chagrin Falls female and the third highest ever of boys and girls.  She did it all with one big race.  Although challenged down the homestretch, she held off the attack and went on to pass other people coming into the final few meters.

 

It sends a message to all of you:  We can be there.  We are good enough.  We can be there and compete.  We can be there and be great!  There is no one out there we cannot beat when we make up our minds that that is what we are going to do.  If there is a lesson to be learned by our young people for next year – for life – this is it.  We are going to be good next year.  We are going to go back.  And we are going to be great! 

 

Learn from the example that Kirsten set.

 

In the words of Winston Churchill – “Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never--in nothing, great or small, large or petty--never give in, except to convictions of honor and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.  Never give up.”

 

She showed us all what has to be done.  She showed us all how to do it.  Congratulations to Kirsten!  The rest of you – get excited about 2010!  See you then!!

 

State Meet results are here.  There will be a film of the finish eventually posted here.

 

 

From the small pulldown box:
