So Much More Room For Activities

Today was a well-deserved, much needed recovery day. Runners of the Week were announced before the run. Steve Placht took freshmen honors. Justin Potter was the Fox JV winner. At Rim Rock it was Seamus in the JV race and Waller in the Varsity.

Coach Traughber made a discovery today. That discovery turned into a secret. That secret did not disappoint. After practice the Varsity guys got official DeSmet Cross Country bags. They’re a little old school, and a lot awesome. You’ll defiantly see them around.

JV Jot: At the beginning of practice today, everyone was informed that our beautiful Nike DeSmet warm-ups would be delayed for a few days/weeks/months/years. Brightening the day, however, was the announcement that today would be a well deserved recovery day. After a relaxing Chasselle/Falaise/to Falaise, the team met in A/C land as per usual. Here Coach Traughber announced that since the warm-ups were delayed, he had procured cheaper, less fancy warm-ups that were already made so we could look like a team this Saturday at McNair. All in all, a successful day.

The Milk Table is proud to announce that DeSmet has its first runner since Connor Callahan to get mentioned in the Big River Individual Rankings. Senor Kevin Abernathy made the list as an honorable mention.

In other news, the Blogmasters are currently working on the first ever Milk Table T-shirt and we want your input. Check out the poll on the right to cast your vote for the colors. You have to be a follower to vote. The design is in progress and we will put up a sample when we have one. The shirts will be available to all. If you are interested in getting a shirt send us an email with number of shirts and sizes at milktable@gmail.com so we can start getting a count. Our hope is to have the shirts order by early next week so we can get them as soon as possible.

Best Dressed: Husmann. Sometimes just getting in the mix is good enough for a victory. Today was Jack’s first day running since his injury. He only ran a mile, but it is a big step in his recovery. He knew that it was important to look good since he wasn’t in the pool anymore. He wore the classic DeSmet Cross Country shirt with some gray shorts. Keep working hard Jack! We can’t wait to have you back.

Title: The guys were excited about the bags and that line from Stepbrothers was said a couple of times.
