“Number one is just to gain a passion for running. To love the morning, to love the trail, to love the pace on the track. And if some kid gets really good at it, that’s cool too.”– Pat Tyson
Last week, we had a terrific week of practice! With no race on the schedule, our athletes had valuable time to prepare for the middle portion of our season and complete some important running workouts. The athletes are ready to attack the upcoming weekend races as we approach the end of September!
As we move into our 4th week of racing, it is going to be a very busy week for the T-Wolves. We have two extremely long team events on Friday and Saturday at the Woodbridge/Northwood Invite at Great Park.
On Friday, our team will race at the Woodbridge/Northwood Invite while also helping organize and run the event. Then, on Saturday, we are once again asking our athletes and parents to help supervise and organize the second day of the meet at Great Park.
Parents and athletes, this is our ONLY team fundraising opportunity of the season. If we all pitch in and share the workload, it will be a huge success and allow us to continue this important team tradition in the future.
Please sign up to volunteer for both Friday and Saturday. There are many different time slots and durations available, so we encourage everyone to find a time that works for you and your family.
🏆 Athletes of the Week
This week’s Athletes of the Week are Maia Murthy and Xander Mak!
For the girls, Maia Murthy had an incredible performance at the Rosemead Invite on Saturday, running a huge personal best of 17:30! She continues to show what she is capable of on the course.
For the boys, Xander Mak broke through a major milestone by finally breaking the elusive 16-minute barrier! It was an outstanding performance and a great reward for all of his hard work and dedication.
Both Maia and Xander are coming off impressive performances and are now getting ready to attack some huge races Friday night! We can’t wait to see what they do next.
Congratulations, Maia and Xander! Keep pushing! 🐺🔥
Thank you in advance for your support, teamwork, and commitment to the T-Wolves! Let’s make it a great weekend!
PRACTICE CHANGE:
WE WILL PRACTICE ALL WEEK AT 330PM-530PM AND THURSDAY AT THE GREAT PARK!
