-Awards Night
2010 Cross Country Awards Information
What ?
An evening to celebrate the Cross Country season, share memories, present awards, plan for the future, and a slide show to wrap it all up. We will enjoy pizza and a few desserts while giving out the awards.
When ?
Monday, November 22 beginning at 6:00pm.
Tentative Schedule
6:00-7:00 Individual awards, senior speeches, special awards
7:00-8:00 move to auditorium for slide show
Where ?
Meet in the PHS cafeteria for eats and awards. We will move to the Auditorium for the slide show after the awards. (No food/drink in the auditorium, please)
What should I do?
- Show up with family and friends
- bring your fun award for your designated team member (ask Coach Fader if unsure who that is)
- bring a dessert (optional)
Dress?
Nice, but casual
**You must have turned in your sweats and uniform to receive your award! **
Most importantly, even though this XC season may be over, RUN for your life!
-Harvest Run- Drummond Elementary is looking for a few volunteers to help with their Harvest Run. A few of you mentioned that you were interested. The Coaches will have already left for the state meet, so arrangements to attend are your responsibility (arrangements to miss school and a ride to Drummond). The run is scheduled for Friday Nov. 5th from 1:00-3:00pm.
- Uniforms and sweats should be clean and turned in to Coach Fader in Room G114 by November 9th. They must be handed directly to Coach Fader by you or delivered to room G114 in a bag with a tag clearly identifying your name. DO NOT give to Coach Lamb or leave unlabeled bags of sweats/uniforms in my room when I'm not around.
- Team Members and Parents - Soon it will be time to assemble a slide show for the Awards night. I will gladly provide a disc if anyone has photos from the season they would like to share by burning a copy. I could also use some music suggestions ( unless ya like that "old guy" stuff I listen too..I can promise some banjo!)
That about does it. See ya out on the roads and trails....you are still running right...remember we do this because it's FUN.. and this is one of the best times of the year to be outside running. Enjoy!

Sectional Results
Saturday mornings, grassy parks, changing leaves, cool temps (well actually a little warmer than normal), and hard racing are the essentials of a perfect cross country meet and all were present this past weekend at our sectional meet. The races were fast and our three Sectional competitors gave their best shot at qualifying for the state meet. Congratulations to Geri and Sean for the completion of an excellent season. Big Congrats also to Hannah as she has qualified for the second year in a row to compete next weekend in the Missouri State Championships! Best Wishes at State Hannah!

District Meet Results
All good things must come to an end... or so it is said. The District meet proved to be the end of the season for both of our Varsity teams this year. However, both teams ran well (and without any major tragedies), which is the best we can ask for on any day. While we may not be advancing as a team our spirit moves on through three individuals who ran exceedingly well to qualify for the Sectional meet. Congrats to Hannah, Geri and Sean and good luck next week at Sectionals!

WooHoo! Congrats Pirate Runners!
WOW! What a great day to race for the Suburban North Conference Championships. Perfect conditions, a fast course and (to paraphrase one of your teammates)" a mighty Pirate vibe" led to a day worthy of all your hard work this season. Individually most of the team ran PRs. That alone would be good news.. but there's more..
First off.. Congratulations to the Girls Varsity team for continuing the winning streak in the SNC Championships! Not only that but the team had a perfect Score this year(top 5 scoring runners in first 5 places)improving on last years finish which was only missing two spots. Awesome!
Congratulations also to Geri Farrell who is this years SNC girls Varsity Champion!
But wait ....the good news doesn't end there. The JV girls also repeated their team victory. Katie B. ran her legs off (well you know...not actually off) to finish her best race of the year and claim the JV girls win. Outstanding work Girls! Congratulations.
On the Boys side we have seen our team improve by a large margin since last year. Placing fourth in the SNC boys Varsity race was great considering last year we were barely able to field a team. Sean Z. cranked out a very tough race to claim a spot in the top 10 and earn All- Conference.
The JV boys also ran well and proved that what really matters is the combined effort of each individual on the team, which in this case was outstanding. So while we don't have winning team scores to report we do have excellent efforts and lots of potential for growth in the future. Excellent work boys!
Enjoy your success, but never be completely satisfied...We're not done yet..and you can still run faster!

Quote of the week: "I run because it's so symbolic of life. You have to drive yourself to overcome the obstacles. You might feel that you can't. But then you find your inner strength, and realize you're capable of so much more than you thought."
