Today’s practice started with a medal meeting in the cafeteria with the whole team. There was lots of hardware given out—medals from Vianney, Clayton, and MCCs. Scherping picked up a total of 5 and Abernathy had 4. O’Connor, Waller, Martini, Potter, and McGann were among the other distance guys that picked up a medal.


It was time for practice and it was hot. Everyone that was not Scherping and Abernathy had a workout today. They were running 200s and 400s at “really freaking fast.” It was a good workout to get everyone prepped for their final races. I ran 20 plus laps on the track watching the workout for the first part of my 70 minute run. Then Scherping came out after finishing AP Physics and we ran for another 40 minutes or so. A nice run over to the shady Malcolm Terrace Park.

After practice while icing our legs we talked about the importance of getting enough sleep: 8-10 hours. This is especially important for us seniors who are now on a different routine with being out of school.

Don’t forget to bring your uniform for pictures tomorrow. And be on the lookout for our MCC Champions t-shirt.

Quote of the Day: “Coach, will you miss me when I’m gone? And me saying ‘hi coach’ very peppy everyday?”- Scherping to Coach Traughber after practice.

Joke of the Day: “He probably forgot to switch his clock to daylight savings time.”- Seiler on why he thought Scherping was late to practice.

Title: You could hear that noise before and after practice with so many guys carrying lots of medals.
