[RATTLER43]

Wow. Would not have expected it. Who did you lose from last year? You guys seemed primed for a run this year, I thought.

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

[RATTLER43]

May have to give 'em half a season to gel.

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

[RATTLER43]

Wow. Great day in practice. Kids really got after it. Love days like today.

We had our finest day this season!  I am so excited. Got runner-up to Ft. Smith southside by 2 points. I think Greenwood and Alma were third and fourth. My boy Travis won with 17:42 unofficially. Personal bests from 7 runners today. Jr. Girls won again. Official results to be posted later.

How did the Russellville meet turn out?

[RHS]

RATTLER, I'll try and get a picture from SI up here sometime. It goes back to running in the mud. In a meet in Oregon, they had a water tanker over turn or something and flood a course with 6000 gallons of water. In the picture, some kid is in up to his neck.

Congrats.  I don't know what my brother said his time was, but he had his best finish ever finishing 6th, and our #1 finished 4th.  It'd help if the gap between our 1-2 and 3-4 weren't so big.

[RATTLER43]

Great conditions for a race. Cool temps (high 50's), no wind, clear and sunny. Wish it were that way for all races. Only about 50 or 60 runners in senior boys with Russellville meet and local half marathon/marathon going on on same day as this race. Junior high had about 15 to 20 schools, though.

That is how Southside got us. We went 1-3-8-21, and 30 for our top 5 runners. I know SS 3 thru 6 runners ran as a pack and each finished between 9th and 16th.

As soon as results are found I will post them.

d.a.'s 8th place finsh wasnt bad i dont guess considering the teams ahead of them, i didnt see any small schools ahead of them. looked like they ran our best 9th grader in the sr. group, prob would have done better if she doesnt move up.


thanks for the link.

[RATTLER43]

Agreed. I always train my 9th graders with senior high but wait to move them up until after junior high conference meet. But he may need to develop the chemistry early. Tell him Acorn is the real deal. Trinity will be good as well.

I borrowed from Arkansastrackstats poll because I agree with most of it. Left girls out except my classification because I am not knowledgeable enough to make a poll of them.

I put Rogers boys #1 until a team beats them at state some year.

Class 4A boys' top three are even.

Cedarville and Dover girls will represent our area well at state.

Elkins and Grace Heymsfield will be good and great.

[UALR11]

We mixed it w/ some pretty good teams at Louisville this weekend.  Things to note.

-Link http://www.uoflsports.com/sports/m-xc/stats/2009-2010/glcmensgoldresults.html

- Aaron Batey had a stout race as our #1

- we get our Kenyan back for Chile pepper he would have scored us 20 points taking of our 170 from Barrett and I.(putting us in atleast 5th, edging out conf. rival Middle Tenn.)

- Got Boxed in hard for 2 miles the pack was ridiculous, like a 2 mile stampede. 

-we blow away the B. race:) haha
http://alltraxtiming.homestead.com/GLXC_men_blue_rez.htm

-  We dont get boxed everyone finishes much MUCH higher per person...we had to shoot wide on the first turn due to start position

-  Brian Giken, transfer, showed up big as did Johnny P.

- Every Runner in that race was solid

[RATTLER43]

Looks good. Why was he out so long?

Boxed in for that long is rough on stride. Hopefully, no injuries from getting chopped.

Where is Giken from?

Keep it up. You guys are gonna be great at the regionals and at conference. I will look for you at the chile pepper.

[vbtrackstar87]

He is a transfer in from UAPB.  But from kenya.

[RHS]

RATTLER, I'll have those pictures up in a minute. Had to use my camera to get them in the CPU and take seperate shots for each page, but I'll see what they look like.

[RHS]

As you can see on the left page, some kid is in up to his neck.

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

  now thats funny!!!

didnt even notice him, till i read what you posted.

[RATTLER43]

Great pic. I love it. Gotta show my kids. My daughter just saw it and thought it was awesome.

[RATTLER43]

Now that is CC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

VB, you're times are looking fantastic. Keep up the great work. Hope your season continues to be successful.

TROJANS

[UALR11]

I like the scroll bar you have there^:). 

Mountain Home will be racing at Greene County Tech this week, should show our girls power!  I've ran in one race like that RHS.  My Senior year.  I ran a whopping 17:41 for 5k, ALL OUT.  I fell twice, it was a blast.

[RATTLER43]

I will be checking the results to check on Eureka and CRA. MH girls should be rounding into state condition. They and LH should provide an amazing competition that day.

[RATTLER43]

Chili Pepper right around the corner. Who all is going?

[UALR11]

MH girls put top two in front of Batesville's Meizner yesterday at GCT.

[RATTLER43]

Wow. Impressive. Where can I find the results?

[UALR11]

They will be online eventually

[RATTLER43]

Do you know how Eureka and CRA boys performed? Eureka is in our conference and CRA is one of the main teams to be reckoned with in Class AA. We will get to see Eureka head to head but not CRA until state.

[RATTLER43]

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

des arc wil be @ the lake hamilton meet today.

[RATTLER43]

How did it go at LH?

We got runner-up at Greenwood. It was the most hilly course we have run in two years. Very good for us. My boy Travis won the individual title, my girls Katy and Logan won Sr. Girls/Jr. girls; my boy Carl was 2nd in jr. boys. Missing my #4 in senior boys. Others stepped it up. It's beginning to come together. My Jr. Girls finished three in top seven.

Great day. Hope yours was great as well.

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

congrats on the great day for your team!

have not heard how d.a. did.

[pottsville_fan]

What happened to Pottsville cc?  Anyone know what they got this year?  Cant believe they have gone that far down hill since I graduated in 2000.

[RATTLER43]

You can go to Arkansastrackstats.com or directathletics.com to look up results to see about Pottsville. Yes, Billy Mills had developed a wonderful program.

MH meet results lead me to believe the course is a tough one. Looking forward to state meet.

[pottsville_fan]

thanks
