Opening Day for Cross Country

The first Monday in August brings the official start of the cross country season across the Commonwealth. On the first day of practice, every team in the state begins with the loftiest of goals, to be the last name called to the award podium at the State Meet. This year it will be Albemarle. This team will bring the quiet confidence (got that from Buz), and swagger, that they have what it takes - the heart, soul, and drive of champions. It will not be easy, but then nothing of worth is easy. Dedication and effort in the heat of August pays off on a cool morning in November. Good Luck to the team as they mount the campaign to the Championship.
The week ahead:
Today, practice at AHS at 4.
Tuesday, Meet at AHS at 6:30am. Carpool to Panorama Farms.
Wednesday, Panorama Farms, 6:30am. Two Mile time trials.
Thursday, Panorama Farms, 6:30am
Thursday, Meet at AHS Fieldhouse @ 1:00 to leave for camp.

Any help - from athletes, parents, grandparents and coaches - with taking (& then submitting) photos of practices, camp, and meets will be greatly appreciated. The goal of this blog is to be a community effort that provides interest for all those that follow Albemarle Cross Country.
