Holland Christian Cross Country: Cougar Falcon Invite

On Saturday we had the pleasure of heading out to Calvin College/Gainey Sports Complex for the Cougar Falcon Invitational. This year it was Varsity Only so we took the top 7 girls and boys to run at this event. Upon arriving we were greeted by our very own team concierge who led us to our spot along the fence and went through the rules for the day. One thing that I would like to keep for the future, team assigned porto-potty, its kind of nice to not have a Super LONG line to wait in... haha... The VIBE was very different on the course this year. Normally this course is lined with people .. so many people that you can hardly get near the finish line to see them .. this year that was not an issue. The finish was WIDE open and as coaches we could run ALL over the place and not really run into any other people.

So how did the Race Go !!! I know that is what you really want to know :) . It went Really WELL coming off tired legs from Wednesdays meet in Spring Lake there was still a FIRE in these runners and we were so excited to see so many of them Run PR's on Saturday.

Congrats : Parker, Andrew, Sam, Austin, Benji (top 5) for all running a PR on Saturday.

Congrats: Emma, Alaina, Laney, Alyssa for all running a PR on Saturday.

It wasn't the easiest day to go for a PR with very little crowd support and warmer temperatures at noon when we ran, but these Runners are showing us that they have come to put their best selves forward and work hard towards their season goals.

COMING UP:

This Coming Saturday we are looking forward to the Otsego Invite. Details are on the Live Calendar.
