Jack Wilhelm Week

Cross Country Athletes & Parents:

Here’s our weekly update:

·         We will go over who signed up for the OHSAA Middle School Meet this week! If you want to participate in the OHSAA Middle School Invitational, please sign-up with Coach Walters!

·         Time to eat healthy, drink plenty of water, and stock up on rest! Our hard workouts are over for the year. It’s time to rest, we are beginning to taper. Taper…this is one of the greatest words in an endurance athlete’s vocabulary. For this last week, avoid all soda, eat very healthy foods, drink plenty of water, get a LOT of sleep (middle schoolers need to average 9 hours 15 minutes of sleep a night), and STRETCH after practice, on Sunday, and before you go to bed each night. It’s not what you do the day before a race, it matters what you do the WEEK before a race!

·         Our final ‘Cheat Sheet’ of the year will be passed out at our final team meeting (Monday, October 12^th).

Jack Wilhelm Information:

·         We will meet at DAIRY QUEEN parking lot at 8:15 a.m.

·         We will return to DAIRY QUEEN around 11:45ish, where we will get ice cream.

·         Athletes, the coaching staff cannot afford to buy you all ice cream (sorry), so make sure to bring money for your ice cream/lunch (this should be your last ‘garbage’ food you eat until SWCs).

·         Normal breakfast still applies, with a light snack both before & after the race. Bring water for both before and after the race, and don’t forget your sports drink!

·         Results will be posted on baumspage.com for this race!

·         This race is at LCCC. The same course map is used. We’ve got a link of it on the blog.

·          Here’s the schedule:

10:00 a.m.       ALL Girls
