HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!
Summer Camp Numbers Continue to be Strong!
Each day, you continue to impress with your regular strong attendance. We are impressed with the strong numbers, even last week when the temperatures were blistering hot with very high humidity readings. Now, as the temperatures have moderated at least temporarily, we have the chance to charge into July! July will become our most important month of the summer. We are not yet close to the beginning of the school year, but we are not at the beginning of the summer. As a result, the challenge will be to maintain our focus on making sure we take advantage of every day to get in the best shape we possibly can be in. Make sure you take advantage of the opportunities of today! We'll see you at camp!
Start counting your hours this week! Find creative ways to increase your volume of training! Every bit you do helps! Click HERE if you need an extra LOG SHEET!
If you are a NEWCOMER to NNHS Cross Country, all you need to do is BE CONSISTENT all summer! At very least, you'll earn a NEWCOMER CLUB SHIRT! So whether you're on vacation or right here, you can earn your shirt. Just get out and run!
Anyone -- Veteran or Newcomer -- can earn hours! 4 hours per week will earn you a 36-Hour Club Shirt. 5 hours per week will earn you a 45-Hour Club Shirt, and 6 hours per week will earn you a 54 Hour Club Sweatshirt! NEW THIS YEAR, we are introducing -- for veterans only -- a 63-HOUR CLUB! This is for those who've already earned a 54-hour sweatshirt and are looking for that extra, crazy challenge! We have some VERY nice running items for those making that extra special commitment!
A Look Back at State 2008...
7PR's Nets a 4th Place State Finish!
All seven runners ran lifetime best times on the course at Detweiller Park on Saturday to finish a strong 4th in the state. Beginning with Michelle Stratton's 23rd place (17:39) all-state effort, the team averaged 18:04 for its five scoring runners on the day. Jamie Schertz (18:01) was second for the Huskies in 40th place. She was followed by Emily Grissom (18:11), Joanna Brodecki (18:14), and Adrienne Schertz (18:18). Christina Rei (18:21) and Rachel Weathered (18:33) completed the team effort. After a precarious 4th place at sectionals, what a GREAT way to end the season! Congratulations to everyone on a really tremendous season. Thanks to all of the teammates, alumni, and parents who made their way down to Peoria on the day. It was very cold and windy but you all made it feel significantly warmer!
