2010 RCGC Cross Country Series Race #5 Recap
Race #5 in the 2010 RCGC Cross Country Series was this past Thursday at Loveland High School and about 50-60 runners showed up to run in hot, humid and sticky conditions on the course. The course was much faster as we had the fastest top male and female times in the 2010 series. The top male was Dave Bea who ran a 16:44 which was a good enough time to crack the top 5 times. The top female was Michele Thomas, who won the State 3200 in the track this past spring. Michele ran a 19:27 which tied the course record.
Join the club at Loveland High School next week for the final race in the series.

2010 RCGC Cross Country Series Race #3 Recap
Race #3 in the 2010 RCGC Cross Country Series was this past Thursday at Loveland High School and about 50-60 runners showed up to run in humid and sticky conditions with the threat of rain and thunder around the course. I was surprised that Stacy did not give his pre-start motivational pep talk about lightning and thunder which is "Do not worry about the lightning, it will motivate you to run faster!" Top male was Brady Holmer who ran a 17:40 in the sticky conditions. Brady runs for Lakota West and decided to use the race this week to help him get ready for the upcoming cross country season. A couple of his teammates also showed up and did quite well. The top female was not good enough to make the board for the top 5 finish in the overall women's times and Stacy is just getting too old to wait for people to finish especially with the threat of lightning and thunder.
Join the club at Loveland High School next week for Race #4 of 6.
