Forest Park Cross Country Festival Results
Saturday brought sunny skies and warm temps for the biggest (and longest) meet we will attend this season. For the Varsity teams and JV Boys it was also their first shot at a 5K race this season. I saw a lot of great effort in all the races and I know a few PRs were set.
Regardless, if your race was super good or a little-off it can be a valuable learning opportunity? Ask yourself: What did you do well in the race? What could you have done better? Did you achieve your goals? Is this a step in the right direction for your long term goals? If not, what can you learn from this race to get you where you want to go?
Congratulation to the Varsity Girls team for 1st place in the White Division Varsity race. WoooHOOOO!
Results will be passed out at practice, but you can also find them at http://mo.milesplit.us/meets/56114

Volunteers for tuesday Sept. 15th?
Pattonville and Saint Charles West are hosting a Freshman/Sophomore meet on Tuesday September 15 at McNair park in St. Charles. We could use a few volunteers for jobs like course marshalls, chute watchers, or even scoring if you enjoy the record keeping side of things. No experience is necessary for most jobs, just a willingness to be part of the Cross Country experience. The meet will last from about 3:30 - 7:00 pm, but any time you can contribute will be appreciated. If interested please email Coach Fader at sfader@psdr3.org
