Monticello Invitational Recap

Homework

Principal Hren has asked that all coaches remind students that they do not get an extra day to turn in assignments when they return to school after a event or game. For example, if an assignment was due on the day of a meet, you must either turn the assignment in prior to leaving school for the meet, or if this is not possible, you must turn it in the next day when you return to school.

I strongly recommend that you make every effort possible to turn in your assignments to your teachers before you leave for the meet. That way there is no question as to weather it has been turned in on time or not because you were gone to a meet - the assignment has been turned in.

Remember - you are a student athlete - with student first.

Region Race Course Map

I asked the cross country coach at Richfield High School to send me the link to the course map that he posted on-line. You can view the map in a street view or a satellite view (I prefer the satellite view); you can also view the elevation gains (which I found very helpful).

Here is the link. Region Course Map Link

A couple of observations about the course:

1) The course in 2.85 miles long

2) The course has a very slight uphill for the first .40 miles

3) The hardest part of the course is between .40 miles and .80 miles - there is a 60 foot elevation gain over that part of the course; an average of 3% uphill grade. Challenging but very attainable with practice.

4) After the .80 mile uphill it is all downhill to the finish line with the steepest decline from between 1.25 miles and 1.75 miles.

5) When you make the right turn onto 100 north you have less than 1/2 mile to go.

6) When you hit the track you have 300 yards to the finish line - time to start an all-out sprint to the finish!

Practice Schedule - Week 7

Here is the practice schedule for our seventh week of practice. With the break in the heat we will move our practices back to a 3:00 start. This week we will have long hill repeats at Powerhouse Lane on Monday; and a long run on Tuesday. To help prepare us for the trail run at the region meet in Richfield next month we will run for the second time the Pipe Dream Trail on Thursday followed by pace/speed work on the track on Friday. Our meet this week is at South Sevier High School in Monroe, UT on Wednesday.

Monday September 12: 3:00 - 4:30 pm on the track. Jog to the end of Powerhouse Lane for a series of uphill repeats.

Tuesday September 13: 3:00 - 4:30 on the track. Long 5+ mile run.

Wednesday September 14: We will leave at 11:00 Wednesday morning and return at about 10:00 pm Wednesday night. We will stop for lunch on the way in Green River and stop for dinner in Richfield on the way home.

Thursday September 15: 3:00 - 4:30 pm. Pipe Dream trail run.

Friday September 16: 3:00 - 4:30 pm. 5k pace/speed repeats on the track.
Friday September 16: 6:30 pm. Meet on the track - the Cross Country team runs out onto the field to present the game ball at the homecoming football game just before kickoff!
