JULY MEANS HOT WEATHER!

 

Hydrate!  You cannot be drinking enough fluids in this type of weather.  Avoid running in the heat of the day.  Know the signs and symptoms of heat illness

Check your weather before you run!

 

 

 

THE WEEK IN REVIEW:

 

JULY

 

It is a hot month traditionally and one in which you must take all possible precautions while running.  Hydrate!  The running rule - “If you are thirsty, it’s too late” – is an absolute truth.  There should not be a time at any point in the day when you are thirsty.  Water is the best coolant – sport drinks help with some of the replacement issues – the Emergen-C drinks are good for post workout electrolyte replacement.  Do what you have to do to be safe and healthy.  Don’t be afraid to cut a run short or to skip it if the weather is dangerously hot.  Early morning runs are about 15-20cooler than the afternoon so a little planning ahead can help.  Just be safe – and follow the Road Running Rules!

CROSS COUNTRY TRAINING CAMP

 

This is a reminder that the first day of practice is on Wednesday night, August 11, 6:00PM at Harris Stadium.  Do not report to this session out of shape.  We have high expectations for our athletes and those begin with starting the season ahead of where you were last year.  If you haven’t been running – you had better get moving now! 

 

You must have a current physical (call the AD’s Office at 440-247-2890 to confirm your expiration date) and all EMS paperwork must be presented to the coaches.  Paperwork must be complete with all signatures and must be OUR team EMS packet!  The school packet of information will not be accepted.  There are additional copies in the Athletic Director’s Office (see Mr. Barch) if you have misplaced yours.  Without these things, you will not be able to begin practice with our team on the 11th.  Reminder – you must have 10 days of supervised practice before you are allowed to compete (band camp will not be a problem).

 

Any questions – you know how to contact us! 

 

 

 

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.
