It has been a while since the last post. I just wanted to wish everyone happy holidays and let you know that I am continuing to add articles to the Latest News and Articles link.Hopefully postings will start back up again as we get a little closer to track season in the spring.Also, good luck during the basketball season!Robert

Well, I gave others a chance to post but no takers...so here I go.To be honest, the State Meet was definitely a mixture of extreme happiness and, yes, a little disappointment.On the up side, our Top 3 runners finished 1st, 4th and 8th - Cortney, Kalyse and Darcy respectively (Cortney, awesome run - you were definitely the best in the state on that day!). Cortney is a sophomore and Kalyse a

Wow, what a group of hard working, dedicated athletes! Monday you ran up Herb's Hill and around Remington, Tuesday you did a fast-paced Indian Run and yesterday, in the rain and wind, you ran up to the top of muddy Meeteetsee! Those goals you've set for the State Meet are getting closer and closer with each step you run.

I'm looking forward to a week of tapering so you can peak at the State Meet in Helena on Saturday. I'll second Robert's recommendations for drinking, eating and sleeping and I'll add one more--RELAX! You all did exceptionally well at the preview meet earlier this month. You know the course, you're prepared and it sounds as if you'll have lots of fans to cheer you on. So, take some deep cleansing

Given the times, Hope & Herb must have setup a pretty tough (but fun) course (not to mention that you guys were probably running at about 7000 feet at the base of the Beartooth Pass).Now you get a week of easy running and rest before State - drink a lot of water; eat good, healthy food; and get plenty of sleep!GIRLSTeam Scores: Red Lodge (26), Huntley Project (70), Sweet Grass (112), Lodge Grass

Well, we are finally at Helena Pre-State. We left at 12:00 instead of 9 to our dismay, we had to go to school for half a day, but o well. When we got to the hotel we went for our short usual run alongside the rail road tracks, which in most cases would of been very enjoyable, less the strong winds, so it was short but sweet.

Well, I watched the movie "Miss Potter" tonight and figured out where Cortney's post-workout/ice bath Squirrel Nutkin stories come from. It was one of the Beatrix Potter stories (author of the Tales of Peter Rabbit). I am not sure whose stories are better, Cortney's or Beatrix Potter's.

After a big track workout yesterday, the junior high challenged the high school to a game of easy-going-and-all-fun kickball (note on the junior high destroying the high school last year!). Coach Hope prevented the high schoolers from getting completely destroyed by dividing teams up by birthdays. So the game went on and we found the true reason why Sally doesn't play volleyball any more and that

No, I'm not misspelling the word "plain" above. The team actually did see a snake during practice today. Running on the trails near the football field and Nature Center they encountered a yellow and green snake. Darcy picked it up, but quickly dropped it. Chelsea was definitely not happy to come across this long-bodied, limbless, crawling reptile so Courtney temporarily held it in place with her

Well, it looks as if the team survived, not only running up Herb's Hill, but also doing 10 x 300 intervals at the track yesterday. Way to go high schoolers! Today the workout consisted of running south of town to the bridge over the West Fork and back and then doing a Seven Minute Ab workout courtesy of Jason.

Nice to see all of the girls at our optional Labor Day practice. Way to go, ladies! In spite of the heat there was a slight breeze and we easily ran Lovers' Lane through to Island at Rock Creek and the new trail along the hillside. It will be splendid when the trail system connects. The surface of the trail is a nice and soft material--ground tires, I think. Although, there are actually two

The 10K is precisely the right distance. I can't believe you'd question me. I'm still checking on the 5K. I'll let you know when I determine it (Jeep or not!) I'm still waiting for accolades for being at all the mile markers in Livingston. I figure I ran about 12 miles, out and back, just to get times for our statistician (thanks, Robert!).

Well the Fun Run went really well. Everyone's times were lower thanLivingston's; however, we are not completely sure that the run is exactly 10k. (Hope, I have special instructions to give you a hard time and that driving the course in a Jeep doesn't count).Chris got second and was talking 3/4 of the way.

RLynde (guess who?) wins the award (there isn't really an award) for the first parent to post a comment on the RLHS CC website. Nice job R - I hope you inspire the other parents (and coaches, community, friends, etc.) to do the same!p.s. Erin has now posted twice!

Wow...congratulations!Chris...almost a minute and a half faster than last year and you are just starting to get in shape after hiking and kayaking all summer. And Adam, you took 5:30 off your time from last year and won the JV race...just amazing.For the varsity girls, everyone made significant improvements on their times from last year at Livingston. The results speak for themselves.And in the

I know you are all ready and will do a great job but wanted to wish you good luck anyway. I sure wish I could be there, and I cannot wait to hear how you do. Try to give me a call on your ride home - although I am in an all day "orientation" meeting so may not answer - if not, leave a message.Also, I hope your first two days of school went well. I assume you are all very busy and that is the

I wanted to put the results from the Livingston meet last year out so that everyone has a basis for comparing their results this year with last year. Last year, Livingston was our second meet of the season (not the first like this year), but it was basically run on the same day (8/31 vs. 8/30).Good luck running through "the field"...and remember to give it everything you've got once you the

So...this weekend was a pretty relaxing one...and we get a little bit more warm weather before school starts tomorrow...yikes!!!Anyway, did any of you see that bright moon last night??? It was about 8:45 or so and I wanted to go running. I didn't need a flashlight or anything because you could see so well. I'm guessing I ran for about 3 miles on one of the loops in my neighborhood. And nothing

Well it's official, the first weekend of meets for the 2007 XC season is over, and the Montana Cross Country website is (finally) starting to have new posts (I was worried there for a minute since there had been no recent updates to the site). The two meets from this weekend were the Boulder Invite and the Glendive Invite. These meets included some of the teams we will be competing with this

Our team ended today with a moderate run through town. Up to the track and around the trails and back pretty much. We spotted the football team unloading from a school bus for their scrimmage, and Cortney yelled, "Guys....detour!!!" Hehehe....The team will be ready for their first meet next week...and for school too!(p.s. - I feel like a really big nerd doing this thing, but I need to get better

I have updated the Interesting Articles link under "Useful Links" to Latest News & Articles - since it now includes daily news searches. The articles that I posted today are about the University of Montana XC team, the Joliet XC team, stretching and flexibility - and one about "The Worst Part of Running" (coming back after a layoff - which I can totally relate to). The list of articles is getting

(from Sally...)The team started today with the normal jump rope warm-up, and then we ran to the other side of town, up Brewer's Hill, and through to the rodeo grounds. The long uphill run was great strength building, and I'm very glad for the team's good sportsmanship and fun personalities. Thats what makes practice so fun!!!Tomorrow will be the end of another week's practicing.....great work

Well despite the miserable rainy weather, everyone again ran A+++. Today we ran the "Rodeo Loop", via Hauser and a bit of Highway 78, IN THE RAIN!!! Luckily it eased up a little, although it I think that it made us run faster. We got done really really early, at about 6:00 and we ran about 3 1/2 miles, leaving at about 5:40. Good Job!! I think I am going to take a brief brake from the "

Hello everyone and welcome back! Our run today started off with a jog to "Herb Hill" and, to my surprise, a walk up it, then around the slightly longer loop "up top". Everyone was AWESOME. It looked like it was going to rain - which probably wouldn't have been a bad thing - but it didn't. When we got back to the Civic Center before 6:30 p.m I thought that we had only run a couple of miles.

Today was our "speed day", which pretty much means a lot of running hard and fast. Which when you go to a race is a good thing. We started off running down Hauser to go to the track, not our usual way, but change is definitely a good thing. Everyone ran the track exceptionally well, even though we only did 4 x 300m. The "leaders" started coming in in the high 50's, low 60's, and the pack coming

Today was our longest run so far...halfway up Meeteetsee with some form work (straight hands) up the final hill. We took a short breather walking down then everyone pushed it pretty hard on the way back to the Civic Center. It sure seem like you are all in really great shape. We don't have any early season times yet, but my gut tells me that we are not far from where we ended the season last

Your success in the past should inspire your future. I have attached a summary of each of your personal best times (your PR according to my records). I am hopeful that these will need to be updated on a regular basis throughout the season.Interesting Observation: 6 of the 10 PRs were set at last year's State Meet in Helena. The team definitely peaked at the right time. Hopefully we will have

It is never too soon to start thinking about the potential rewards at the end of a successful season. Last year's target (which we barely missed) was the "Chili Meltdown Burger" with Coke and fries for Hope and the pink muscle shirt and spandex for Herb. What will it be this year?

We had our first workout at Silver Run today (about 30 minutes). It had rained earlier in the day and the weather was perfect. I had forgotten how nice it was to get out and run on the trails. I think everyone on the team felt relaxed and really enjoyed it. Adam was actually overheard saying, "that was a great run!"

It is important that we begin to incorporate speed work into our training early (and gradually). As Herb mentioned in today's practice. We don't want to just do long, slower workouts and then put you in a meet and ask you to run all out - your body won't respond and you increase your chance of injury. That is the reason we started with the 3x300 workout at the track today. It gave you some

The team was AWESOME! The girls finished 2nd (with 97 points) in the Class B State Meet behind a little bit stronger Cutbank team (with 71 points) – Missoula Loyola (a perennial XC power) was a distant 3rd with 125 points. Other teams that we knew were going to be tough competition were even farther back – 4th Glasgow (166 – defending champion), 5th Whitehall (178 – we beat in tie-breaker

This week the team ran in the Billings Invitational. This was our largest meet of the year so far with 17 schools (including Billings Senior and Billings West) and approximately 95 runners. Unfortunately, we only had 4 girls this week so were not able to score as a team. Everyone ran well with the standout run of the meet belonging to Chris Atherly who took 45 seconds off his personal

This week the team ran in the Beartooth Invitational hosted by RLHS at the golf course (homecoming weekend). There was a large crowd on hand to watch the race (likely triggered by Hope’s half-page story with picture on the front page on the sport section in the previous days Carbon County News). Not wanting to disappoint, the girls went out and ran a wonderful race to capture their 4th

The RLHS Girls put in another strong team effort and won the Lewistown Invitational (their 3rd in a row) with 53 points, beating Lewistown (67) and Havre (96) (both strong Class A schools). Cascade (a team considered to be a contender in Class B) was also at the meet but for some reason only ran 3 girls in the varsity race and did not have a team score.The quote of the week was from the
