And that's a wrap

Wow - what a fun and rewarding season! But as Brian Cranston said in a recent interview regarding the end of the TV series Breaking Bad; "for something to be really, really good it must be perishable". So this season now must come to an end.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this season a success. Parents, school administrators, bus drivers, sponsors and volunteers at our Moab Autumn Run fundraiser, Mr. and Mrs. Knowles for the great tech shirts, Mr. Knowles and Mr. Snow for the great pictures, our friends at the Moab Golf Club for a great home meet, all the volunteers who helped with our home meet, the list can go on and on.

Thanks to my two assistant coaches - Greg Poettgen and Brandi Heywood. The season would have been nowhere near as succesfull or fun without both of you.

Thanks to all the great parents for coming to our meets, supporting our team and for the sacrifices you made during the season.

And lastly, a huge Thank you to all the team members. It was amazing to watch all season long as without complaint you "put the work into winning!". Long runs, speed work, hill repeats at the cemetery, 1 mile trail repeats. Whatever the workout, everyone ran hard to improve. It was an honor and a pleasure working with all of you this season and I looking forward to next season already!
