Ladies,
Tomorrow is the NE Dubois meet. This is an odd one, because though the course is a bit short, it also includes one incredible climb out of the lake area. The effect is to negate the shortness with difficulty, so don't expect to have incredibly fast times. Additionally, the area holds rainwater like a Vietnamese rice terrace. Our area saw over 6 inches of rain over the weekend, so... plan to have some fresh socks and shoes for after the meet. If you don't need them, fine, but you'll be glad you have them if you do. Ask anyone who was there last year. They'll tell you.
Our bus leaves as close to 3:15 as possible. It's a tight schedule. The lineup looks like this:
Varsity
So now we get down to the nitty-gritty...
Carrie - chase the Jasper girls. Allow them some leash on the first mile, then reel them in. They are good, very good. Keep it close and it's a victory.
Madison - moderate the first mile. You cannot go full-bore on this hilly course. After you climb out of the hole (you'll know what I mean), throw down hard. Pick people off all the way in.
Katlyn - same as Madison. Be a bit more moderate the first part until you get out of the lake area, then drop the hammer.
Chloe - try to keep it pretty even. You haven't raced in a while, so you need this one to get you back in the groove. Hard effort, but save the really hard stuff for the second half.
Diana - just go for it. Seriously. You are going to have very cool weather. This is likely the last race of the year. Go out on a high note!
Carlee - same as Diana, only this is likely your last race ever. Make it something to remember, one way or another. You have absolutely nothing to lose. Make it count!
McKena - you've had hints of something ready to break loose, and this is your last chance this year. Make it happen. Take a chance!
Claudia - same as McKena. It will be a whole year before you get to do this again. Don't waste this chance!
Girls not racing: I figure you'll have mixed emotions on this one. Part of you will hate to miss a race, but part of you will be happy to miss this one. Satisfy yourselves in that it wasn't your choice to make. You didn't chicken out, I won't let you race and jeopardize Sectional. My call, right or wrong. I may extend this further. I'll text those affected if I need to make changes of plans, but rest assured, this lineup will not change.

- Carrie
- Madison

- Chloe
- Diana
- Carlee
- McKena
- Claudia
I know, it's a bad break Claudia runs the JV race alone, but I won't deny McKena the opportunity to run Varsity, which she earned by beating Claudia in the Ted Fox Invite. Fastest seven always run Varsity, that's how it goes.
By the way... location of the school is:
Northeast Dubois High School
