San Ramon was at practice, raced at MV invite on Tuesday
ReplyDeleteSan Ramon ran at the Lowell Invitational last year so I am assuming they are doing the same this year.
ReplyDeleteCorrect, San Ramon will be racing at the Lowell Invite again this year.
ReplyDeleteSan Ramon's meet schedule is actually rather timid compared to what they took on last year in both XC and Track. No Stanford, No Clovis, No Mt. Sac. Does any one know/theorize why this might be?
ReplyDeleteThey should be racing every weekend that's what makes you better! Must have a new coach that doesn't know much.
ReplyDeleteLast year San Ramon had one of the top teams in the state so they probably went where they could compete against the best.
ReplyDeleteRacing every week does NOT make you better. If you look at most universities they race only 5-6 times a year AT MOST!
ReplyDeleteWhile I think HS-ers need to race more to gain experience and learn how to push their bodies to their max potential running 13-15 races most of them hard, hilly 5k's does not make you better.
I do agree that you need to race the best to be the best and Stanford, Clovis and Mt.Sac should be on the schedule of every team that wants to go to State.
Agreed. As a coach, you are going to take your better experienced teams to tougher meets and lighten up the schedule with your younger teams.
ReplyDeleteHere's my two cents as the SRV coach...the schedule is not that different than last year. Didn't race well with 2 races in the same week so we dropped Ed Sias, didn't race Stanford last year or this year, doing the Apache invite instead of Mt SAC as I was looking for a fast course on grass late in the season. Goal is to run very fast at EBAL, NCS, and State and last time I checked those are in November.

Aight, T. Hunt, thanks for sharing that, I didn't mean to start an Inquisition into your business like what was kind of brewing. I can totally agree with the two races in one week thing, as an EBAL athlete I can agree that that can be quite a disadvantage. And uh yeah, those sound like pretty good goals.
