*masks were quickly removed and put back on so that we could take these group pictures.

For the Tuesday Jamboree at Allendale we would like to invite you surround the team in a socially distanced prayer circle before our final Ok Blue meet. The season has had many ups and downs but we are so Thankful that we made it through, back in August we were unsure about the season and questioning how far we would even make it.

Bengal Invite

Well that was FUN !!! Friday was a great day out in GR. Students got out of school early to Run at the Bengal Invitational at Riverside Park in Grand Rapids. The park was beautiful, the fall colors on full display.

This was our 3rd race in 7 days so we were not super fresh and it was a little on the warmer side ... but it's Michigan and we are not going to complain about a nice warm fall day like we had. The team knew which teams/places they would need to beat to place well at this meet. So even though the times were slower, we did really well. The top 25 in each race went home with a neat finisher medal and teams that placed went home with a trophy.

Ok Blue Conference Jamboree #2 @ Allendale

Greetings,

I hope that you are having a good day so far. To be honest ..I did not snap any pictures at this event ... with the 3 1/2 minute staggered starts and sprawling course ... it was a lot to keep track of :)

So here are the results :

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.

2019 Finish Line

2020 Finish Line

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.
