Ladies,
It was a tough way to go. People sick, people hurt, and people having a tough time in life. It is always so; it's part of the struggle. What matters most is how we react to the tough times. You girls did it right.
And you won.
Practically anyone today had a good reason to take it easy and let it go. You fought through whatever it was and held your part. You did it for your team, you did it for yourselves, and you did yourselves proud.
We didn't think Salem would be strong, but you never know how the other teams will look. Jeffersonville was a surprise entrant, and I'm glad they were there. They turned out to be our main competitors, and as Conference rivals, it's always nice to get an early peek.
It was a meet I felt we could win, and might even have the individual winner. Though we didn't get the individual, we did get the team win. Under normal circumstances we might have gotten both, but let's face it... if we had to choose one or the other, we got the right one.
Here are the numbers...

Here are the numbers...
| Runner | Mile 1 | Mile 2 | Finish | Pace |
| Joslyn | 6:40 | 13:46 | 21:54 | 7:03 |
| Carrie | 6:40 | 14:23 | 23:05 | 7:26 |
| Baili | 6:50 | 14:43 | 23:26 | 7:33 |
| Zoe | 6:53 | 14:59 | 24:05:00 | 7:46:08 |
| Sara | 7:07 | 15:13 | 24:17:00 | 7:50:00 |
| Danielle | 7:18 | 15:29 | 24:36:00 | 7:56:08 |
| Kate | 7:16 | 15:44 | 25:31:00 | 8:13:52 |
| Chelsey | 7:54 | 16:42 | 25:56:00 | 8:21:56 |
| Delaney | 7:52 | 16:30 | 26:13:00 | 8:27:25 |
| Katlyn | 8:11 | 17:17 | 27:16:00 | 8:47:45 |
| Ani | 7:51 | 17:21 | 27:55:00 | 9:00:19 |
| Ali | 8:53 | 18:35 | 29:04:00 | 9:22:35 |
| Amber | 9:16 | 20:32 | 33:37:00 | 10:50:39 |
While we didn't get all best times, we did get season's best times from a few girls. Joslyn, Zoe, Sara, Delaney, and Katlyn all improved time from Monday. The rest? No, but that's not all bad.
Carrie and Baili are sick. Danielle was a bit too aggressive on the first mile (according to the splits) Kate and Chelsey had slow middle miles (easy to fix). The rest I would attribute to good ol' tired. Two meets in one week are tough to pull off.
Something to look at on these numbers girls... and it will tell you what I mean by too fast on the first mile... If you lost more than 30 seconds on that second mile, your first mile was too hard.
In Joslyn's case, 6:40 went to 7:06. That's not terrible. Carrie went 6:40 to 7:43. That's too much, but is attributable to her illness. Check your splits out and see. In most cases, that's where you need to focus attention.
We start speed work on Monday. Rest up!
