Monday is a Fun Day

Hello again and Happy Easter to everyone! I haven't written on here in awhile so I'll try to get everyone caught up on all the news and excitement. March 29th was MCC Relays at Chaminade. We finish a close second, just a few points behind SLUH. Although we didn't run quite as well as expected we ended up having a few good performances. In the JV 800 meter race Plassmeyer ran a nice leg, along with Michael Scherping, Tristen Morgan, and Dolan. Our next meek is this Saturday at Chaminade for the All Catholic Meet.

Last Saturday Coach Traughber decided to run a time trial since we did not have a meet last week. In the 800 time trial I pr-ed with a 2:04 and Nick Martini did as well with a 2:08. Coach is trying to make Nick into an 800 meter runner much to his displeasure. Anyway, team junior all ran well in the two mile time trial and I was quite proud of them. Glenn Mcgann ran a big pr of 10:20 followed closely by Sullivan and MC also pr-ed with a 10:31. Nice work boys!

Today at practice we were all quite delighted and surprised to see Coach Rob, who I hadn't seen since Christmas break. It was great to see him even though he decided not to run with us he was there for emotional support as we completed a tough tempo workout. Coach Tom has been cleared to run again because his wrist has healed after breaking it playing indoor soccer. Tom didn't run with us today because he shin is bothering him but he was there to motivate us. Of course Rob and Tom got some good debating it about the same old argument of who is faster. That's all for today. I hope you enjoyed Easter and stay tuned for a post All Catholic post!
