Holland Christian Cross Country: West Ottawa Bredeweg Invite

Invitationals have a very different feel this year, and we miss seeing all the family and friends the come to watch and support HCXC runners.

BUT ... we are SUPER ExCiTeD to be RUNNING.

You can find the results from Saturdays event here -> https://www.athletic.net/CrossCountry/meet/169934/results

Saturday was a great day for running the temperature was fantastic and the team was ready RUN and see what they could do ... this meet resulted in some great times that we can use now for training as the season progresses. Our first meet was SOO hot that it was hard to calculate accurate training times from that. So we are excited to have a really good place to work from now.

*side note if you ever want to know more about these numbers and how we come up with them and use them. We are happy to share :) Also if you ever wondered what Coach Melissa does in her day Job .. THERE is a lot of Excel and these charts are super fun !!!

Lets get to a Few Pictures from Saturday.

Why did we have White Ribbons on ?

If your runner did not fill you in ... I would LOVE to take a moment fill you in now. In 2016/2017 we sported white ribbons in honor of Mr. Witte a former HC teacher who tragically passed away in a car accident. Now lets jump to 2020 former HC Runners Andrew Vliestra '03 and Jillian Park '17 unexpectedly passed away along with many other really TOUGH times this year. So we brought back the white ribbons, to honor those that we lost.
