HC Vs Holland @ Hamilton

Kind of Rainy Dreary Day out in Hamilton, but that did not keep many of our Runners from getting great times in the Race against Holland. 

In the Girls Race Hannah, Jessie and Maria took the top 3 spots in the race and HC took all but 1 place in the top 10. Congrats Girls. Keep Working Hard. 

In the Boys Race Nate M. took the 1 First Spot in the race closely Followed by Michael S., Nate V., Luke. P & Nick B. Giving our Top 5 a significant lead over Holland. Congrats Boys. Keep up the Hard work. 

HC Vs. Hamilton @ Ridge Point

It was a great day for racing at Ridge Point

In the Boys Race: Vance battled the Hamilton pack with Mulder and Sikorski following a close behind.  Then we had Peterson, VanAppledorn, Beezhold and Vanderzwaag all finishing within 1 second of each other.  

In the Girls Race:
What a race - won by 1 point!  Hamilton ran tough and of course we have a lot of respect for their program.  It is hard to give up the first 2 places but we had depth.  VanRees stayed strong leading the pack to 3rd, Mulder and Kuiper edged out Hamiltons 3rd runner and Lubben passed the 4th runner in the last 100 meters finishing 2 seconds ahead.  This was the difference between a Win or Loss.  Vance was our 5th and Boeve and Helder pushed Hamiltons 5th runner back to 12th adding points to Hamiltons score - Truly a team effort

A Little Inspiration for the Day

"Most people never run far enough on their first wind 

to find out they've got a second. 

Give your dreams all you've got 

and you'll be amazed at the energy 

that comes out of you."

Cougar Falcon Meet 9/22/12

It was a cool fresh morning for running, and everyone on the team was feeling good. Almost everyone on the team beat some sort of PR either for the season so far or overall. The weather held out for all of the meets, and it was a great morning for the HCXC team.

Looking For Pictures did anyone take any ?

The weather here in Holland however was a different story. Wind, Rain and Even some Hail at the Park2Park 1/2 Marathon. Views from the Holland State Park Beach.

HC vs. Zeeland West @ Unity

It was a windy day for running and the Michigan weather kept us guessing, rain, sun, wind it could not decide what it wanted to outside. Unity has a tough course and it really challenged our runners. They had to work really hard for their times.
