Results are in!!

Great weekend of racing last weekend at the Bellevue Invtational. Out of the 27 athletes that run 20 of them set Personal Records (PR's) or Seasonal Bests. Outstanding job everyone!

Individually we had some very strong performances. Annie Dang got the top ten ball rolling placing 8th in her flight with a time of 21:20, a season best.

Michaela Bartz was next AMHS runner who finished in the top ten, finishing 9th overall in the meet. She also ran a PR of 19:44 and has one of the best times in our District and state.

Sam Holeman also had a fantastic race, finishing 8th overall in the meet. Sam ran a PR of 16:12 and ran 6 seconds faster than Conner Ballew ran on the same course last

Check back later as I will post the updated points total and the schedule for the week.

Bellevue Invitation This weekend

The Bellevue Invitational is this Saturday. Come prepared to run fast as this course is a great one for good times. Bonus points for any team (Black, Red or White who has everyone PR on their team)

Here is the transportation situation with the team:

We have one minibus leaving AMHS @ 7:45 AM. Athletes can get a ride with the team bus regardless of what race they run. Everyone else can drive there but must be at the race 1 hour before the start time. All Varsity runners need to be at the race no later than 11:00 AM regardless of when they are racing.

If you are driving the race will be held at Lake Sammamish State Park, off I-90 between Bellevue and Issaquah.

I will go over a final review of who is racing what race during Friday's practice. Please review the race times in my previous entry.

Week of 9/12-9/18

Great week last week, good challenges ahead!

We had a strong week of practice last week and made some good improvements. Highlights being the team Co-Ed Relay. Team Face Paint won the race, but the top 5 teams were all within a 90 seconds of one another. It was a hot day so not the easiest to run, but effort was high. Individually Sam Holeman broke the course record with a 10:02 on the boys side and Michaela broke it on the girls side with a 12:59.

Big Improvements from last year include:

Annie D.- 74 seconds
Michael M.- 74 seconds
Sam H. - 57 seconds
Paul M,- 45 seconds
Nate K.- 45 seconds
Patrick H- 39 seconds
Matt A.- 35 seconds

Newcomers Tate J. and Melissa B both finished with the third best time overall for their team. Great job! To look at your individual results go to: http://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/Results/Meet.aspx?Meet=52673#343
