Our Attitude When it Snows!

Coach Hildreth, the renowned British track coach, once said:
"A foot of snow is an opportunity, not an hindrance!"

Andrew Hanko Named All-American

Andrew Hanko was third in the National Scholastic Indoor Championships (NSIC) 5000 on Friday, March 9, 2007 in a state record time of 15:04.42, and was named NSIC All-American.

For this winter, his results have him with the third best time in the nation in the 3200 (9:08.03)(and the fifth best time in that event as well); the fifth best time in the nation in the 2 mile (9:09.80); and the sixth best time in the 3000. He was the only runner nationally to run under 9:10 for the 3200 three times this winter. Congratulations, Andrew!

Andrew is also remarkable for his firm stance of not running on the Lord's Day as a matter of personal conviction. As a result, he missed the New Jersey Meet of Champions, and both of the national two mile races.

Nutrition 101

Your diet before a meet or workout should consist primarily of carbohydrates. Energy bars such as PowerBars, Balance Bars and similar products are very good, as are fruits such as bananas, apples and pears. You may also eat cereal, bagels, or toast. Avoid citrus fruits. Avoid drinking milk (you may have a little on cereal if you choose). Milk produces lactic acid in the body, which is the substance that causes stiffness and pain in your muscles after a hard run. You body will produce enough lactic acid on its own without you having to add to it by drinking a lot of milk.

Practice Location for Tomorrow: TCS!

The first practice tomorrow morning at 8:30 will be held at TCS.

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE BETWEEN 34 AND 36 degrees AT 8:30. MAKE SURE TO BRING GLOVES AND A HAT! Practice will end by 10:00 tomorrow.

Please print and bring with you the permission form(s) if these have not been handed in already.

Congratulations also to Andrew Hanko who was named All-County for the Winter by the Morris County Track Coaches Association last night. Link to the full team: Morris County All County Winter track Team
