Clubbers,
Being sat outside of Davis waiting for the great opening can do crazy things to a person – including causing them to pore over the results of regionals for all too long. Doing so, I noticed something pretty amazing: half of our team PR’d at regionals yesterday. Good. Lord. I’m super proud of you guys. Both teams qualified for the championship race at nationals, with a 4th place finish on the men’s side and a 6th place finish on the women’s. A huge shoutout to Abbey for a second place finish, starting out in the middle of the chase pack, moving up through it, and then hawking down both 3rd and 2nd … with a massive gap in between each. Class racing from everyone.
Now, the housekeeping stuff:
- ASAP: Sign up for the Halloween 4xmile, taking place Friday the 1st at Eddie Smith. Start time is currently TBD for 6pm or 7pm – we are waiting to hear back from UNC Athletics regarding this. Signup will close tonight. Link follows:Halloween 4xMile Signup
- ASAP: Sign up for nationals. This will close tonight, and as always the sheet is in the dues-paying GroupMe. We still need several drivers, as well. As a reminder, this will be a two-night trip, Friday evening and Saturday evening, we will stay in hotels, returning Sunday morning. It’ll be a real blast in Hershey…
[Photo intermission to see Paul absolutely SLUMPED on the ride back from regionals (no one is safe) (sorry Paul) (not that sorry though)]

Back to important stuff
- If you drove to regionals, fill out the driver reimbursement form. You have a week to do that to get money back from the club for driving.
- The sign-up to be on the ballot to serve as an officer next year is out. Read the below document to find all the important information:
Workouts for the week will be posted in the GroupMe later – I wanted to get out the important stuff earlier today. We are looking at a Tuesday/Thursday workout set and one last long run on Saturday.
Again, I am super proud of all of you for how you guys did yesterday. It was awesome… looking forward to nattys now
.
As always, see you all tomorrow for practice. Everyone enjoy their Sunday and get some good sleep!!!
