Shelby Invitational

Rescheduled and much cooler than before we arrived at the Shelby County Meet! Coach Lee Gathered our runners and gave out Personal best ribbons from the Trinity meet and some much deserved speeding tickets!

 With a corn field as our back drop we did the walk thru!

 Then we got ready to run! Shoes were tied.....

Muscles were warmed up.....

 Honey was eaten....

 Spikes were put on....

 The girls were amazing and delivered a solid performance! The girls were led by Renee Grendi, Hannah Binzer, Alison Byers, Hadley Fischer, Reagan Lacey and Nina Walker.

 The boys rocked it out too...also delivering a solid performance! They were led in scoring by Brandt Wilhelmi, Riggs Hardy, Colin Schaffner, Grant Adelson, Rollins Hardy and Jack Fischer.

 As night fell the awards ceremony started! We had some very happy kids!

 The girls took first place overall!

 With some amazing finishes the boys also took first place!

Trinity Meet

The traffic was a nightmare....we arrived to find we were not registered....but the afternoon was beautiful and the kids were excited to run! Every meet has a story!

First up...the Goshen boys!

The Goshen girls were amazing as they cheered on the boys! They did the wave and were full of spirit!
The boys were off!
Brandt had a great race placing second!
Riggs also finished in the top 10...placing 6th!
The Goshen Girls also came to run! We had some top finishers for sure!

One special thing about a meet is when the races are over...

The runners leave the shoot and fan out among the crowd in search of their people...the ones who cheered the loudest for them and love them the most. Sometimes these are the best parts of the meet....the reconnection between our runners and the parents. Where I am so proud of you is whispered and backs are patted for the effort that was given......

It truly was a beautiful night for a meet! After the races our Gators enjoyed watching the other races and having a little fun!

We are so proud of our Gators! Both the boys and the girls came home with trophies as they placed third overall!

Way to go Gators! Let's get excited for our big week of meets next week! It's going to be busy but fun!

Post Rumble Practice

With our first meet under our belts the kids returned to practice Tuesday a little more prepared for the season and a lot more excited about the sport and the team! Our Creasy deer made a guest appearance at practice....it was like he was excited for us too!

Coach Lee gave out 6 personal best ribbons from the Rumble. They went to Brandt, Rollins, Ethan, Brook Payne, Nina and Lauren!

We are so proud of how you rumbled in the jungle!

More Speeding Tickets

Coach Jeremy converted the Rumble to a mile and compared the mile times. It was unbelievable how much the kids improved and how many speeding tickets Coach Lee was able to give out on Thursday's practice! Way to go Gators! We love seeing those happy smiles!
