Please be sure to check out the April LCUSD9 Update that was sent out via email and posted on the district website. Thank you to everyone who attended our Pack the House: Greyhound Edition event on Wednesday evening. We enjoyed spending time with you! Have a great weekend, Greyhounds!
As coaches we are very proud of these 2 girls today. They may not have advanced to the finals on Saturday, but as freshman, this experience is invaluable. 5 of their teammates came up to support them today. This also helped fuel their talks about what they need to do to go up there next year as many of them were very close this year at Sectionals.
Danika was nervous as she had a special moment to be the very first athlete at the state finals to start the events with her first jump. That is a lot of pressure for anyone but she fought the nerves and landed 3 qualifying jumps with no scratches. Great job Danika!
Aleyda placed 23rd out of 45 runners after coming in ranked 30th out of 45 with a 12.86. 13 spots out of making finals on Saturday. Great job Aleyda!
Preparation for next season starts Tuesday in the weight room for weights, plyos and speed work with Coach Cruthis from 8-9:30am. Let's get to work!
