Hello Rangers!!!
Last week we completed week 10 of our training phase to prepare us for the Faith Academy XC Championships meet in Marble Falls. Once again, our athletes showed up and gave it their best shot with running season best times with some all-time personal best times as well. The girl’s championship race covered a distance of 2 miles while the boys championship race was a 5k distance. Two of our female athletes (Patricia Sucilla-Orozco & Kristen Medrano) decided to join the boys in running a 5k distance in hopes of getting an official time they can post towards the National Deaf Interscholastic Athletic Association rankings & since this was their first 5k of the season it will count as a season best for that distance.
Also running a season best for a 5k distance was Arturo Merchan, while Hawkins Morgan, Gage Hopper, & Lorenzo Urrutia ran a personal all-time best for that distance. Hawkins finished 12th place overall earning a District XC medal and his new time now places him in the # 5 spot of the TSD record book.
Our final challenge of the 2021 XC season will be on Monday November 1st at the TAPPS XC State Championship meet located at Cottonwood Creek Golf Course in Waco, TX. As of now our boys will run their 5k event at 9:15 am and our girls will run their 2-mile event at 10:20 am.
Coach Joe
