Ted Fox Invite

Ladies,

The Ted Fox Invite draws nigh. This annual event has significance for a number of reasons.

1. It's our last home meet before Sectional.
2. Most of our Sectional competition will be there.
3. We almost always run well.
4. It's the final race before HHC; will determine top-7 runners for HHC.
5. Will be part of the decision-making process for top-7 for Sectional.

There is no getting around it... we're winding the season up quickly. I know I'm being tougher on injuries and pain, but that's the point... we're at the point where there is no time left. We have to figure out who can go and who can't. No time left for healing!

Two weeks from tonight is Northeast Dubois, the final regular season match, and the final meet for many of the runners. Did you realize that? The following Tuesday is Sectional. Did you realize that?

This means practice will change for a few of you. Mileage is going to get reduced, as well as the number of quality intervals. Things will still be sharp at times, but they won't last as long. Overall, things are going to get easier now.

Those going to Sectional, you have another week. I will keep top-7 and two more (as alternates). That plan could change though... I have 12 runners to work with, and there is a chance that our Sectional and Regional lineups could vary. It's a risky move, but it might be just the edge we need to get through Regional. More on that later.

For now, start turning your thoughts to racing hard this week. Close those gaps on Salem!
