This past week has been an exciting one. Thanks to weather-induced complications, the SLIAC meet was moved to our campus here in Elsah. We all got a kick out of the fact that one of the reasons we got to host was that ours is the only school with so little traffic that they wouldn't need traffic police. The Conference meet went really well (we apologize to everyone who isn't used to running those hills), and having the whole conference together for the awards ceremony was a lot of fun.
On Saturday night, we had a Halloween party at one of our assistant coaches' house, and the winning jack-o-lantern was our head coach's hands pulling the headband off of a team-member's head. (There are several girls on the team who wear headbands, and Coach has a habit of sneakily pulling them off.)
And now we've begun training for Regionals! Despite the fact that only the top seven runners on each of our teams will compete, the whole team showed up for practice today. I said in my very first entry that cross country practice offered a nice break from schoolwork. Even now, at a point when we're just getting busier and busier and many of us are done competing for the season, we're always happy to come to practice, improve our running, and spend time with each other.
All the best,
Amber Dahlin
