Ladies,
It's late, I have a ton to do before bedtime, so I will keep this short.
Times didn't matter tonight as much as placement and experience. We left 3 of the top 5 out of the race and still competed with the teams - and that's a testament to the rest of you girls for stepping up and running harder. So in that respect, we got a lot of what we wanted out of the meet. You younger racers had the pressure of carrying your team, and that will help you grow.
Carrie, you now know what it's like to lead a race you just might win. No, you didn't tonight. But you were close. You jumped ahead of the plan. You were supposed to be the sprinter, remember? You were supposed to wait to kick. If you had done that, I think this would have worked out for you. This isn't an "I told you so" moment. I mean this in the most encouraging way possible. I love your aggressiveness, your fearlessness. Keep at it! You will be great because of it, not in spite of it.
Madison, it's tough to come off a hard meet like Saturday and run hard again a few days later and have the mental game to do it. I think you did a better job of controlling yourself than Saturday, but we need something in between. It's a hard line to find, and you're a novice racer. It will come.
Chloe, that was probably a very solid race for you. I say probably only because I couldn't see much of it on this course, and I certainly don't have splits to compare. You looked good, that I can tell you. Your placement was also fine.Within 3 minutes of the winner of the race? When's the last time that happened? Never? Good job.
Katlyn, everything I said to Madison and Chloe goes out to you as well. Every word. You did much better than Saturday, and have run yourself back into it. Well done.
Carlee, it's just a shame you didn't have more time with us. You have a ton of potential, we just started too late. Plus I would love to take one more road trip through Amish country! Nice job this season.
McKena, sometimes stuff hurts. It won't hurt you, but it hurts. That's what you have right now. It would have been easy to dodge the run, but you stuck with it. That's a life lesson that hopefully will carry on.
Diana, I don't know what happened. Hopefully we can find an answer soon. Let's start ruling some things out!
Claudia, I went from wanting to wring your neck to hugging you tonight. Way to go in your race! That's the way to end a season, girl!
