Race Report: Alamogordo (Boys)

"We just OWNED that race!"

You know any race is good when you ever hear a quote like that after it. All I have to say is, "Wow!" We kicked some major booty today. It was awesome. It started with the Varsity boy's race. We had some holes to fill in the varsity roster, and right now it's looking like they might have been filled. We had James and Raymond pushing each other till the end and they both ended up sub 20, which is a huge PR for James. He did awesome. I got 9th, and then Luke was not far behind me, Sierra came in next, followed by Dylan. Raymond edged out James in a sprint at the finish, and then Greg. Our Varsity boys came in 3rd overall, which is a huge accomplishment. We have never placed that high as a team in Alamogordo before. Ruidoso came in 2nd though. That we have to work on. Their 4th boy came in before our 2nd boy. We have to start beating those guys, especially with district at our house. For the JV race, it was good news after good news. Pretty much everyone PR'ed. Starting with Jared, who claimed the 7th spot for Varsity next week. He got 11th, and had a hell of a race. Brendan and Hanson cleaned up the race. They pushed each other so hard, and had some crazy good times to show for it. They both PR'ed like crazy. It was inspiring to them running hard for each other, and I'm very excited to see how their season will keep going. Ricardo had a great race too. He always works hard, and I think he is going to surprise a lot of people this season. He had a great summer training and it's going to all pay off. Matt had a kick ass race. He PR'ed as well, and was not that far behind the pack. He was running so hard, I don't think I have ever seen him go as fast as he did today. Adonnis had a great race too. He was working hard and he finally looks like he is starting to open his stride. I think he has the potential to be a solid runner. Anthony had his first race today, and he did really well. I never saw him walking, which is really good. As the season continues, he will just get better and better. We finished off the meet with some great pizza and custard. That had to be one of the funnest meets ever. Good job you guys! You all just got me pumped for this season!!!
