STATE FINALS WORKOUTS

2011-10-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

STATE FINALS WEEK 2011 >>>-----CC à

Monday – 2 mile warm, cals, high knees, 20-30 minutes easy, maybe inside if it’s too nasty out.
Tuesday – 2 mile warmup, 1xmile HARD, 4x400m HARD, 4x200m HARD, easy 1 mile cool.
Wednesday – 2 mile warm easy 20 minutes, 4x100yard stride-outs.
Thursday – 2 mile warm, 8x400m, starting at race pace, then each one 1 second faster.
Friday – Depart GHS at noon – Run in Lansing
Saturday – MHSAA DIVISION 2 STATE FINALS --- BOYS D2 RACE IS AT 2:30PM
Sunday – eat lots of junk food and look at your times at mhsaa.com

Nate and Charmander – you two are peaking perfectly and had amazingly fast times at Benzie. Your low 16’s put you both in contention for the possibility of being ALL-STATE. What will it take to be all-state? First, just like Benzie you will need a good solid start – out hard for the first 600m then relax and cruise with the fast pace. Mentally relax after 600m and go with the flow. You will come by the MILE mark in around 5:00, maybe a bit faster. At this point you need to set yourself up for a place in the top 40. If you are in 60th here at the mile its over, you’re not going to be able to pass 30 runners at the state finals. Get out hard, get out controlled and focus on RELAXING after you exit the racetrack. At the 1.5 mile mark you will be passing the huge crowds. I will be just before this point trying to give you an idea of place – again, be in the top 40 if you really want ALL-STATE. Going up the hill to the 2 mile mark you need to just maintain. Go around the two mile mark and USE THAT DOWNHILL, here is where you can pick up a couple places, you can FLY down this hill. As you re-enter the track and hit that soft squishy grass relax again and save it for the last 600-800m – watch for the signs, then gradually turn loose your sprint. This last ½ mile is where your all-state status will be determined. Last year, and nearly every year the cutoff is right around 16:10 to be top 30, all state.

Jake - You had a GREAT regional race and you are just beginning to find out how fast you really are. The state finals course is exactly like Benzie, flat and fast and I think you can improve on that 16:37. Read what I wrote for nate and charmander above – if you are feeling it and all goes well I believe you have an outside shot at all-state too. When you are peaking you can take another 15-20 seconds off your Benzie time and that puts you in contention to be top 30. You will need the same race strategy we had at Benzie, get out, relax and think of the races in three stages – start hard, relax to the mile, hold position until the two mile, then use the downhill after the two mile to pick up places. It has been a great 4 years of XC for you and Saturday at MIS will be the final day all your miles and all your efforts pay off.

Ian/Sean - You both had good PR’s at Benzie but you also both have more in you. At the state finals we need you both to go big. I want you to get our hard in that top 70-80 places and just hold on. Just like Benzie the start will be important, hard to the half mile mark, then RELAX and hold position. At the 1.5 mile mark I will be giving you an idea of place – again, the top 100 is where you need to be. Hold that spot until the two mile and then use the downhill to make your move. I truly believe that the 16’s are very do-able for both of you. You are both peaking, you both have hundreds and hundreds of miles and years of racing experience on your side. Many teams have runners who are in their first trip to MIS and the finals. Sean, this is your FOURTH time, and Ian this is your THIRD. You are experience and ready. 16:50, 16:50, 16:50, 16:50, 16:50, 16:50, 16:50, 16:50, 16:50, 16:50 keep chanting it in your head all week.

Josh/Collin - enjoy the trip and get experience for next year.

Review - Boys ran amazingly fast time in a stacked regional with two top ten ranked teams and came out 3rd. Personal best times by all boys, Nate Fischer's 16:08 is the fastest time by a GHS boys in the last 6 years and Charlend Howard was right behind in 16:19. Jake Pasternak would have been "all-regional" in any other year with his huge 16:37 but the number of fast boys in this race was just too much. Ian Callison had a personal best time as #4 man and Sean Hope sealed the trip to MIS with a 5th man solid position. Charlend and Nate earn ALL REGIONAL honors for the second year in a row with their finish today.

Girls - would have qualified in nearly any other regional in Michigan. #1 ranked Cedar Springs, #2 ranked Fremonth, #11 ranked Cadillac, #22 ranked Petoskey all in front of us but the girls ran great. Six of our 7 girls had personal best times and should leave this season satisfied with their efforts.

Boys Portage Results and summary

2011-10-09T14:50:00.000-07:00

Boys here is how you stacked up against TCC and TCW at Portage. And after looking at this i think we have a shot at beating them at our home course next week at the BNC finals. Both nate and charlend have a shot at winning it outright. Jake and Ian needt o move up to break up Fleisher and Doetterrer. We ran ok at Portage, not great, not terrible. Next BNC we need great.

The course is European style XC with hay bale jumps, barriers, and MUD. Directions – go out of town west on M-32 to East Jordan, then take M-66 into Charlevoix, turn LEFT at the first light at the intersection of M-66 and M-31. Go south on M-31 about 200 yard then turn immediately left on Marion Center Road (C-65). Continue on along for about 1.5 miles to Charlevoix High School.

SEPTEMBER 20TH, TUESDAY – BIG NORTH CONFERENCE MEET #1 – CADILLAC
This is the first of our Big North Conference meets with Petoskey, Cadillac, Alpena, Ogemaw, TCCentral, and TCWest. It is always some of the toughest competition we face all year. There will be only two race BOYS first, then GIRLS, starting at 4pm. Directions – go to Cadillac’s Mackinac Trail Middle School. While driving south through Cadillac on Business 131, turn right onto MACKINAC TRAIL and you’ll come to the MIDDLE school and CC course.

SEPTEMBER 24TH , SATURDAY DELTA INVITATIONAL – DELTA COLLEGE Unique, short, flat and fast 2 mile race. This is one of my favorite meets – Girls have won this invitational for the last 16 years in a row, boys have won 14 of the last 16 years. It features a varsity boys (1140am), varsity girls (12noon), boys JV (1040am), girls JV (11am) races. Directions – take i-75 south to exit 160 – (BAY ROAD).

This is the second of our big north conference meets. Same schedule as the last one with a fairly tough course at Camp Petosega over east of Petoskey about 15 miles. Boys all at 4pm, girls at 430pm. We will go up through Indian River, west on M-68 towards Petoskey then take some back roads. You are best off googling Camp Petosega and printing yourself off a map.

OCTOBER 8TH, SATURDAY, PORTAGE INVITATIONAL, Portage Michigan
This is the largest XC invitational in the state of Michigan. We will take VARSITY only to this meet (maybe one extra person if we have room) and we’ll leave on FRIDAY about noon. As usual we will spend the night in Grand Rapids, go out for dinner, then head to Portage on Saturday morning. This is the exact same routine as we follow for our state finals and its great preparation. For more info on the meet and what it takes to medal or place well see www.portageinvite.com they have tons of pics, results, and information. We will take the top 12 boys and top 12 girls to this meet. I need TWO more parents to drive vans with 6 athletes each.

OCTOBER 18TH, TUESDAY, BIG NORTH CONFERENCE FINALS, GAYLORD COUNTRY CLUB.
This is the final BNC meet for us and it will determine the team conference champion and individual all-conference honors. It is one of the toughest courses we run all year, but we love it. Races start at 4pm with Boys Varsity, then Girls Varsity, then ALL JV.

OCTOBER 22TH, SATURDAY, ELK RAPIDS INVITATION, ELK RAPIDS HIGH SCHOOL.
This is another big meet with some fast competition, but a very fast course too. Directions – in the downtown area turn off M-31 onto AMES street. Go up Ames and then turn RIGHT onto South BRAND Street. Go down Brand and then turn right onto 3rd Street, Park at the high school. The athletes finish at this meet will determine if they make the varsity for regionals and state finals. 99% of the time I take the top 7 fastest finishers on the day as our varsity for the remainder of the season. If one of our usual top 1-2-3-4 runners has an off day due to sickness I may place them onto varsity regardless of their finish here.

OCTOBER 25, TUESDAY – ROTARY INVITATIONAL – GAYLORD COUNTRY CLUB
The varsity may or may not run in this meet – I decide this about two days before the meet depending on how kids are feeling and if we do/don’t have injuries or sickness. The meet starts at 4pm and ALL JV runners will run – it is their last meet.

OCTOBER 29TH SATURDAY – REGIONALS, BENZIE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL, TIME TBD
Our regional finish determines if we will move on to the state finals here – we must place in the top 3 teams. Individually you can also qualify for the state finals by placing in the top 15 individuals in this meet.

I’ll pass out a full packet of information about the state finals when the time draws near. For more information see … http://www.mhsaa.com and go to cross country - this site has past results, times, etc.

NOVEMBER 10TH, TEAM BANQUET, GAYLORD HIGH SCHOOL – 6pm
Our team banquet will be held at GHS in the commons area for dessert, then the auditorium.

RULES RULES RULES -- Obviously we have school rules. These all apply while on the bus, at practice, or at meets and can be found in your student handbook. Other than that, one big rule is the FIVE DAY RULE. In order to be eligible to participate in a meet you will have to participate in five consecutive days of practice. There are acceptable reasons for missing practice. These include: family emergencies, funerals, family functions, etc. Reason which are NOT acceptable for missing practice are – haircuts, babysitting, jobs, etc. If you feel you must miss practice for any particular reason PLEASE talk to me well in advance and clear it with me first. If you simply don’t show up at practice it will probably make you ineligible to participate in the next meet. If you are sick or injured, again, PLEASE TALK to me. A day of rest can be considered your practice for the day if you communicate with me. Communication is the key.

Remember – our GHS athletic department rules also apply. The athletic department rules state that if you are ABSENT from ANY PORTION of the school day school day then you are not allowed to participate in practice. This will then affect the 5 day rule we have for cross country. Exceptions to this rule are PRE-EXCUSED absences for doctor appointments, orthodontics, college visits etc. However, these must be communicated to the coach and/or Athletic Director.

Example 1 – Johnny is tired because he was up late and had a busy week of tests and studying. He asks his parents to let him sleep in and excuse him from 1st and 2nd hour. He will not be eligible to participate in practice and will not be eligible to run in a cross country meet until he has 5 consecutive practice days.

Example 2 – Susy forget her spikes at home for the meet today so she skips 4th hour to go home and get them. Mom calls in to excuse her. She will not be eligible to participate in the meet this day and must get 5 consecutive practices before she is eligible.

Example 3 – James has an upcoming orthodontist appointment in Petoskey. He talks to his coach two days before the appointment about the situation and tells the coach that he will miss 3rd and 4th hour but he will be back for practice. He is excused and may participate in practice.

Example 4 – Jane is not feeling well at all. She comes to school but feels sick and she has a sore throat. After school she comes to practice and talks to the coach. They discuss their options. If I see that Jane is NOT feeling well, her practice for the day will probably be to go home and rest. This will count as an official practice day for the athlete. Sometimes the best practice is rest.

Example 5 – Robert is not feeling well. He tells our team captain that he’s going home right after school because he’s sick. Robert misses practice and does not talk to the coach or communicate with him in any way. Robert is in violation of the five day rule.

In a nutshell, we want students in school. If they are too sick to be in school then they will need several days to recover to get better. This is the reason for the five day rule.

Focus Rule - I know many CC athletes join us to “get in shape for another sport.” These soccer players, basketball players, wrestlers, or whatever have often become a very valuable part of our team and we appreciate them joining us. However, this has also led to some conflicts. First, since XC is the sport that is currently “in season” you must choose XC events/meets over any “club” meets or events. Second, you must NOT participate in any other sport during the last 4 weeks of our competitive season. For 2011, that means starting on October 1st you must not be in any other organized club sport that has regular practices or “games.” Why? Doing too much at this point in the season leads to “burnout”, over doing it, and ultimately, injuries. We focus on running our fastest in October and you NEED EXTRA REST, not extra workouts. If you cannot follow this rule then XC is just not for you and that’s ok. Focus on what you feel you need to focus on, no worries.

A few helpful hints for the athletes:

Rest - During the training season athletes will need more rest than normal. The demands of competitive running, school, work, chores, and family put a lot of stress on your runner. Please be sure they are getting plenty of rest. Trying to balance school, jobs, and a competitive sports team can put a lot of stress on adolescents. Getting the proper amount of sleep is a necessity.

Food – think of runners as race cars. Race cars need race fuel. Good fuel for runners is carbohydrates and lots of liquids. Fresh fruit, vegetables, breads, cereals, fruit juices, and small amounts of low-fat protein are great. No special diet is required, BUT girls will require extra IRON in their diets. Ask your pediatrician or family doctor about iron supplements. A recent study shows that over 50% of all teenage girls are borderline anemic. Extra iron in their diets or iron supplements will help their running AND make them feel better overall.

Hydration is also important. Gatorade, Powerade, and other sports drinks allow runners to re-hydrate AND keep important electrolytes. Too much water (over 6-7 glasses a day) can rinse the body of the electrolytes (sodium and potassium) needed for proper muscle contraction.

Shoes/Clothing – it is best if runners have a NEW pair of running shoes each season. This keeps their legs healthy and stress free. Many athletes like to purchase high tech, vapor wicking, expensive running gear. This is not necessary. Shorts, t-shirts, and sweats will do just fine. If you are going to spend money, it’s best spent on shoes. Spikes are not mandatory, but definitely helpful in XC races. Many races will have muddy courses with hills and sharp turns. Spikes will keep you on your feet in these situations. A quick google search will find many of last years model spike shoes on sale CHEAP !! www.eastbay.com is a good place to start – check out the “bargains”

Notes for parents -- One of the best things you, as a parent, can do to help your child’s running career is to be positive. Attend their meets and cheer loudly for them. Don’t bug them about weekend running and summer training. Athletes who are pushed usually shy away from running and feel pressured. When they are ready, both physically and emotionally, they will begin to run on their own. My parents purchased me a “running log;” it was one of the biggest motivators for me. It was a simple little book I could use to write down each workout I did. In 1982 I began filling the pages and I felt like I needed to write something down each day. 29 years, 150+ races, over 12,000 miles later I’m still filling the pages.

Boys vs Girls -- Boys and girls react differently to running. As freshman and sophomores, boys are often nowhere near their best. Boys usually need to be 16-18 years old before they can hope to be running at their potential. The key for boys is to stick with it. As a freshman I was the 15th fastest boy on my team. As a senior I was the second fastest. The valuable experience that boys gain as 9-10th graders will pay dividends when they are junior and senior varsity runners. Girls, on the other hand, can often run very well as freshmen and sophomores. Some girls get slower as they move through high school, some stay the same, and some get faster. It is important that girls do not get discouraged if their times do not improve over their career.

Varsity and JV -- The varsity is comprised of the top 7 fastest boys and top 7 fastest girl runners. With each meet this can change. If you finish in the top 7 of our runners in one meet you will run the next meet as a varsity competitor. To earn a varsity letter you must be a varsity runner in at least half of our races OR be on our varsity team for the regional meet.

Girls – as you probably know, our girls team has a tradition of being one of the best teams in the state of Michigan. In 2007 the girls team were STATE CHAMPIONS. The girls were also Regional champs in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008. Currently the girls team has qualified for the state championship 10 years in a row – the longest streak in Division 2 (class B). We look to continue the streak this year!!

Boys – we lose only one senior from our Varsity team this year and all the rest of our runners from last year are back. Last year we qualified for the state meet where we placed 14th and 2nd at regionals. The boys have a number of all-regional and all-conference runners and look to become the regional champions for the first year since 1995.

GAYLORD HIGH SCHOOL CROSS COUNTRY TEAM CAMP 2011

Who: For PARENTS AND PARTICIPANTS!
Where: Munising Michigan, Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Campground – Munising Tourist Park Campground (906) 387-3145
Coach’s Cell Phone – (989) 370-0924 --- home phone 989-939-8684

Cost: I will collect $100 from each participant at our PARENT MEETING on Monday Aug 9 – 6pm at GHS !! If you prefer to wait and pay the $100 on the day we leave (Aug 15th) that is fine too. – PLEASE NO CHECKS – CASH ONLY – IF YOU MUST DO A CHECK MAKE IT OUT TO ME, JEFF KALEMBER, SO WE CAN CASH IT BEFORE WE LEAVE. This cost covers camping fees, a camp T-shirt, ferry to the Island, gas, food, snacks, etc. The money you pay will also cover lunch and dinner each day – you will provide your own breakfast (cereal is what most people do) and you will also pay for your own DINNER Wednesday and lunch Thursday (lunch on Mackinac Island). If the $100 fee is too much for you, please talk to me privately -- this fee should not prevent anyone from attending camp. In addition to the registration cost, you should have some spending money for snacks, souvenirs, etc. (Just so you know where your $100 goes here is a list of expenses per athlete – Tshirt $10, gas $15, ferry to Mac. Island $15, camping fees $10 – food $40) Any leftover money will be used for POST RACE MEALS – we will order pizzas, buy Gatorade, drinks for meets, etc !! Usually we have NO money left over and have to use a portion of our fund-raising money to cover costs for camp. It’s not cheap to feed and transport 35+ kids around for 4 days!!

Parent volunteers:

In addition to me, we have the Kassubas, Fischers, Warrens, Wendy Howard, Diane Duff, and Dreyers as parent chaperones. Parent volunteers responsibilities include shuttling camp participants to trails, grocery shopping, helping to organize meals, and enjoying the beauty of Michigan’s great Upper Peninsula. Your help is really appreciated; this wouldn’t be possible without you! There is NO charge for parents who attend and we’ll feed you and pay your gas money! It’s like a mini vacation for you ! If you are a parent and cannot go this year – think about next year!! We can always use extra help.

Don’t forget !!
• Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday breakfast – EVERYONE MUST BRING THEIR OWN BREAKFAST FOR 3 MORNINGS! Last year most people just brought along a box of their favorite cereal. (WE WILL PROVIDE THE MILK) Breakfast will also include fruits, juice, bagels, etc provided by your camp fees.
• WEDNESDAY dinner & THURSDAY lunch – you need to have your own $$
• YOU NEED YOUR PHYSICAL DONE BEFORE YOU LEAVE AND YOU NEED A PARENT CONSENT FORM SIGNED BEFORE YOU LEAVE, *No PHYSICAL? NO GO! So, be sure to get it done.
• No headphones, iPods allowed out during the DAY, but it is fine to listen to music in your tent when you are going to bed (after 10pm). THIS YEAR I AM ALSO BANNING CELL PHONES FROM 6PM TO 11PM. DURING THIS TIME WE WILL EAT DINNER, HAVE OUR MEETINGS AND SIT AROUND THE CAMPFIRE. THIS IS THE TIME WHERE YOU BOND WITH YOUR TEAM. Your goal is not to stay in touch with your friends back home!! Your goal IS to hang out with your XC friends.
• All school rules apply.
• Camp is a POSITIVE experience. We do not run FAST, but we do go a long ways. Get yourself in shape and be prepared to run. More importantly, be prepared to “bond” with your team. A team that plays together is a team that runs harder for their teammates. NO whining allowed.

Girls Team Preview

2011-07-20T09:44:00.000-07:00

The GHS girls XC team returns several varsity runners from last season's team.

Megan Borgeson - Megan is now a senior and team captain for our team, as a returning all-regional and all-conference runner Megan was our #1 runner a few times last season and we look for her to be in or near that spot again this year. Megan also has the 6th fastest ever mile for GHS in track and is a very consisten runner with a 5k best of 19:58. Megan's best quality is the hard work ethic she brings to her summer workouts and mileage.

Geena Duff - now a Junior, Geena has been a staple of our GHS varsity xc team for the last two years, consistenly running on the varsity team in all but two races over her 26 race career. Geena's 20:27 time at the MHSAA state finals landed her as our 3rd best runner last season and she was consistenly around that time in our other big races. In 2010 she was about 40 seconds from being "all-regional" with a fine 29th place at the Benzie course. Geena's best quality is her desire - she gives her all to be at her best in big races.

Katelynn Dreyer - also a Junior, Katelynn has been in the same position as Geena - a varsity runner for the last two years. As a freshman Katelynn just missed all regional honors in XC but her track seasons have been filled with honors - both all-conference, all-regional and a school record in the 4x400m relay. Katelynn's speed is probably her best quality, but her endurance in XC is also very helpful to her team.

Paige Hypio - as a junior last year Paige came through with three huge races to give our team a big help at the end of our season. All year long (and throughout her xc career) Paige has been our #8-9-10th runner. But, last year she turned it on in the big meets and became our #4 runner at regionals, only 30 seconds from being "all-regional." Her 20:32 at regional for 5k was just what our team needed to qualify for our 12th straight MHSAA state finals. We are counting on Paige for a great senior season this year.

Maria Warren - Maria, now a Junior, has steadily improved from her freshman year getting faster and faster and faster, finally becoming a varsity runner in all the big races since the end of her freshman year. Maria is a true testament to how good a runner can become if they work hard enough. In the 8th grade Maria was near the back of the pack in the winter running club group - You'd never know it now as she can bust out a 21 minute 5k in almost any races she competes in.

Noelle Warren - also a Junior, Noelle was on and off the varsity a number of times last season but she did earn her varsity letter with several notable varsity races. Her 21:46 at the BNC finals last year put only about a minute behind our #1 runner and this sort of time on our tough course was definetly her best performance of the season. Noelle, like Maria, always pushes herself to be her best and always logs big summer miles to get ready for the XC season.

meet the team - BOYS

2011-07-18T14:45:00.000-07:00

Here is a list of our returning varsity boys team and a quick run down on what they've accomplished.

Charlend Howard - Charlend was our #1 man in many of our varsity races last year, he is now a Junior, has earned All-conference honors in both his freshman and sophomore seasons, and last year was all-REGIONAL in XC at the Benzie course. Charlend logs hundreds and hudreds of miles each season and his best quality is his desire to be the best he can be in xc.

Nate Fischer - also a Junior, nate was the regional champion in the 800m in track (1:58.0) and also our top runner at the MHSAA 16-2 regional last year with a team best time of 16:27. Nate placed 7th, just 1 second behind conference champion Ryan Hearth. Nate was also all conference both his freshman and sophomore seasons. Nates best quality is a combination of both pure talent and hard work.

Jake Pasternak - our senior returning varsity runner has developed from a JV runner as a freshman to our #1 man in his first meet last season. Jake earned all-conference and all-regional honors in track this spring but did not earn them in XC after a knee injury slowed his season progress last season. Jake is a runner who logs many training miles all summer. His best quality is his positive outlook, even when puking on the bus prior to big meets.

Ian Callison - Ian has worked and worked and worked to be the best he can be and has found that XC is his sport. During the track season, Ian found that he just doesnt have the leg speed to compete at the level he'd like to compete at. But, give him 3.1 miles of hills, mud, wind, and he will excel. Ian was very close to being all-regional last season (missed by 34 seconds) and only a few places from being all-conference. Ian's best quality is his hard work ethic.

Sean Hope - Sean is our team captain and returns for his Senior season with an important position - the 5th man. Since team scoring in XC only scores 5 runners, this position is the most important on the team. Sean has been very close to cracking the 17 minute barrier with a solid 17:32 at regionals last year and a 17:15-ish at the elk rapids invite last fall. Sean's best quality is his sense of humor - he keeps things light and loose on the team and his ability to balance a bamboo pole on his hand for long periods of time.

Chris Ryan - as a sophomore last year Chris earned his varsity letter when he replaced a sick Jake Pasternak at the regional meet. during the season chris regularly was our 8-9th man and had times in the mid 18's for 5k. Chris has worked tirelessly to improve and we look for him to end this season in the 17's. Chris' best quality is his hard work ethic.

Next week - Girls "meet the team"!!

Alpenfest Run

2011-07-09T14:25:00.000-07:00

Hey, this saturday is the ALPENFEST RUN. There are two options. the 5k and the 10k.

I am not 100% sure, but the 5k will probably be the same route as our TGIS 5k and the 10k goes through aspen park, probably on the paved trails.

here is a link to register http://www.3disciplines.com/events/july/alpenfest-run

They suggest you register ONLINE early to get a shirt, but you can register the morning of the race too.

Remember, those of you going to camp must run a 5k run under 27 minutes for boys, under 30 minutes for girls - the Alpenfest is an opportunity to do that. Anyone who completed a race faster than these times LAST YEAR has already completed this portion of the requirement for camp so you are all set. this is for new runners and those who have never completed a 5k run in these times. If you are NOT running the Alpenfest run we will have two opportunities in August to complete your 5k run in the time necessary for team camp... no worries.

KIDS RUN (800m) at 8:45am under the pavilion start.
10k 9am - starts under pavilion.
5k 9:10am - starts under the pavilion.

If you work real hard and run real fast you might even beat these two speedsters pictured here.

Wed 6pm Aspen

2011-06-14T06:33:00.000-07:00

We had 23 girls and 13 boys at our first Aspen run last Wednesday, 6pm. Good numbers! It is a great way to get started with your running and a great way to push yourself a little harder than you would all on your own. These June runs should be 95% "easy" runs. If you are feeling good and want to go faster that's fine too. June is for easy long distance, building the foundation and base that we will build on during the season. Cya on Wed! coach

GHS XC SUMMER RUNNING

2011-06-07T07:18:00.000-07:00

Well runners, it is that time. What time is that? It's the time where average people begin the process of making themselves great. It's the time where you run a little, then more, then more, then finally a lot more and get GOOD at it. It's the time where you MAKE yourself a runner. Runners are not born, they are made. Runners are not good the first day they run, they only get good after lots of running. So often I hear people say "I'm not a good runner." I always ask them "Have you run a lot?" Their answer is always NO. Well, if you don't run then you're not a good runner, it is simple. To be a good runner, run.

Wed 6pm at Aspen Park we'll run. Run slow, run easy, bring some water, bring a gatorade and just enjoy. You don't have to go far or fast. Don't be intimidated, just show up and run. I am sure we'll have a group your speed, going your distance. Just show up and do it.

Pictured below are LAST years teams, this year will be even better.

Boys - regional champions is our goal.
Girls - it will be tough, but a 13th straight trip to the State finals is our goal.

Seven Things Talent Cannot Do

2010-11-14T12:14:00.001-08:00

Thanks for the gifts XC teams!! I'm wearing my snuggie and adidas socks while i type this quote from the "Little Black Book for Athletes." I think it summarizes EXACTLY what i try to say on a daily basis. You can have all the talent in the world and go nowhere. Or you can maximize the talent you have and go very far in life.

Here are the 7 things talent cannot do.

1. TALENT CANNOT MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICES FOR YOU. No matter what your talent level, when you hit tough choices, on and off the playing field, you have make those choices just like everyone else.

2. TALENT CANNOT BUILD TEAM UNITY. Team unity begins when each runner knows that they are part of a whole. No matter how talented the individual is, no one can succeed alone.

3. TALENT CANNOT MAKE YOUR TEAMMATES BETTER. You have to work to make the people around you better. Elevating the speed of your team takes time and patience.

4. TALENT CANNOT HUSTLE. Talent will fail in tough circumstances, but you can make those circumstances work in your favor by doing the things that don't show up on the stat sheets.

5. TALENT CANNOT TEACH YOU. Taking the time to listen to those who have been where you are will help you take your game to the next level.

6. TALENT CANNOT KEEP YOU IN SHAPE. In running, talent without physical conditioning is often worse than having no talent at all. It makes the runner think "Why am i not as good as i used to be?" In fact, you ARE as good as you used to be... you just need to put in the miles and show everyone that this is the case. Work hard to get in great shape, and your talent will shine even brighter.

7. TALENT CANNOT PRESERVE YOUR REPUTATION. The sports world is full of people who sacrificed their potential influence for temporary satisfaction. You will increase your influence if you use your talent the right way and choose a good reputation.

Boys - Nate Fischer had his season best race with a time that would have won this regional in 2008, that alone tells you how competitive it was this year. Nate's 7th place was also the fastest time by a GHS runner since Nick Lewis and Chris Olds hit the 15's in the 2003 season. Charlend Howard had a season best time to finish all regional in 15th. Although I don't think he was happy with his place, his time was phenomenal. Joe Jones and Ian Callison were just steps apart, finishing just seconds away from the top 10 and Bryan Slocum stepped up his game another notch as 5th man. Having Jake Pasternak out sick gave the boys a little extra determination today I think. Knowing that it would take a much bigger personal effort without him, they did it. Sean Hope was, once again, a solid 6th man with a near personal best time and Chris Ryan rounded out our varsity squad.

Girls - Amanda Olds was on her "A" game today, putting out her best season effort and time to finish all-regional for a third time in 8th overall. Amanda is one of those true "big meet" performers, with her best performances on the biggest days. As a senior we look to her on these days and today she came through big. I would note that Amanda was only 10 seconds off her 2008 regional time and she went on to all-state honors that season. Megan Borgeson earned her second all-regional honor with a solid 14th place finish and a season best time. Third girl Anna Kassuba just missed all-regional honors with a time that equalled her best last season. Paige Hypio and Geena Duff rounded out our varsity scoring with excellent efforts and great places. These two girls sealed the deal for us today. With Katelynn Dreyer not feeling 100% we needed someone to step up and both Paige and Geena did just that. Maria Warredn rounded out our varsity scoring.

Next saturday we look to MIS and Brooklyn Michigan for the girls 10th straight trip and the boys 2nd. Both teams will be gunning for a top ten finish in the Division 2 races.

ELK RAPIDS

2010-10-24T05:40:00.000-07:00

wow, people we ran AWESOME. out of 34 runners i think we had 27 get personal best times!!! perfect conditions, perfect timing, perfect peaking, here we go!!

Boys 1st overall in D 1-2 defeating Petoskey 18- 54, Charlend Howard with a personal and season best 16:49 to lead the blue devils for a 2nd overall and 1st out of all D1-2 runners. RIght on his tail overall with a personal and season best was Nate Fischer in 16:58. Nice to have two front runners in the 16's. 3-4-5 runners Ian Callison, Jake Pasternak and Sean Hope came in just a few ticks behind giving us a gap of only 33 seconds from 1st to 5th man. If we run like this next weekend we'll be headed to the MHSAA state finals for the second year in a row. This race was by far our best of the season and that was without Joe Jones (taking the ACT). Every single one of our top 7 runners had a personal season best time and Sean Hope definitely had the race of the day for us. He was our solid 5th man, beating his time from last tuesday by over one minute. He came through big. Bryan Slocum is also finally coming around and was just a few strides behind, also besting his BNC race time by a minute. These boys have had some ups and downs this season - injuries, sickness, and up and down performances - but they put it all together today. This is a huge confidence booster for us going into the MHSAA regional at Benzie next Saturday. Andy Frakes also had a fine first varsity race, replacing Joe Jones. He has come a long way in his four year XC career and he's ending it with his best times and has had a huge improvement since 2007.

Girls 2nd to TCWest. Like the boys the girls have had some ups and downs, with sickness, all season, but today they also put it together. There was no one shining star for us, but every single girl in the top 6 had huge season personal bests - nearly a minute each faster than what they ran at BNC finals last Tuesday. We had only a 31 second spread from 1st to 5th girl - and each much faster than any time they've run all season. Anna Kassuba led the team with a sub 20 minute performance for the first time since our Clare meet at the beginning of the season. Katelynn Dreyer stepped up huge with a time aobut 70 seconds faster than just a few days ago. Amanda Olds and Megan Borgeson both ran season bests as #3-4 runners and Paige Hypio has improved over 2 minutes since mid-season to round out our scoring. Paige has to be the girl who had the race of the day for us. She's discovered, somehow, in the last two races that she is a true varsity contributor and came through huge for us today. Geena Duff had a personal best time as 6th girl - a position that is truly important for us as a tiebreaker and place giver to other teams. Maria Warren secured a varsity position as 7th girl for regionals next weekend. This performance today solidifies these girls as a true contender for a regional title once again. Every scoring girl running a personal best time is a huge confidence booster. We'll look to continue our streak of state finals trips at 10 next weekend.

DORKS UNITE !

BNC REPORT

2010-10-19T19:16:00.001-07:00

boys ran their best race of the year with only a 30 seconds 1st to 5th man difference.
Charlend Howard first team all conference as a sophomore, impressive with a time very close to Jayden Hesselinks winning time from 2010. Joe Jones about where he was last year in this race which is fine = he went on to be nearly all state at the finals. Nate Fischer with a BIG race to earn second team all conference. He's about 30 seconds ahead of where he was last year. Ian Callison with a huge effort, probably the best overall race on the day for the boys varsity with a 13th place finish, just missing out on all conference honors. He was 19th and 18th in the first two races so he really had a good one today. Jake Pasternak bounced back from a tough last two weeks to earn second team all conference honors. Our top 5 was really tough today. We gave TCWest a run for it and defeated TCC quite handily after losing to them twice early this season in BNC races. This tells me we're on the upswing, getting faster at the right time. 11 days to regionals and things are looking good. Having FOUR all-conference boys puts us about exactly where we were last year -- leading to a 6th place finish at the state finals. If we can equal that effort it will have been a great season. Rouding out our varsity were Sean Hope and Bryan Slocum.

girls - every time these girls run against the TC teams I just feel like we don't run well (TCCentral is currently ranked in the top 10 in the entire midwest and #2-3 in the state for Class A), but when i get the results and look back over the past few years I realize we actually ran pretty well. All of our top 5 girls were right near, or slightly faster than what they ran last year on this same course at the BNC finals, which led to our 9th straight trip to the MHSAA state finals (currently the longest streak in division 2). Amanda Olds and Megan Borgeson finished up with all conference 2nd team honors. both deserve it having worked hard all summer and running good races. I feel a little bad for Amanda, sick with the flu bug going around this week, she was definitely not herself today but gutted out a tough race. Megan B is much improved over last season and earned her first all-conference honors after a great track season last spring. Anna Kassuba missed all-conf honors by 13 seconds, she was disappointed but did beat last years time which led to all-regional honors last year. Katelynn Dreyer and Geena Duff were also just off all-conf honors finishing in the top 20. Rounding out our varsity were Noelle Warren (with a personal best time) and Krystin Dreyer.

In the JV races Paige Hypio was the star, sprinting to the finish in a personal best 2nd place time and earning herself a spot on our varsity for the upcoming races this weekend.

week workouts

2010-10-17T16:56:00.001-07:00

Lots of stuff going on this week, please pay attention to details!!

Monday - easy run with stride outs.
Tuesday - BNC FINALS, be at the country club by 3:10. Do the warmup exactly like we did the other day out there. Jog to the mile, walk to the hill, cut across to cut out the back section, over to the 2 mile and jog the last mile. Boys 4pm, Girls 430pm, all JV at 5pm.
Wed.- go immmediately to GMS - run over at Aspen Park for 30-40 minutes. Then help at the GMS XC invitational. It might rain so dress for it. It is a tradition that we do this so please don't ask to get out of it. Some of you will work results, some of you will be at the finish chute handing out medals. The GMS runners like to see you there.
Thursday - do not go to my room (you can store your stuff in there if you like), but do the McLouth, Hayes road warmup loop to the back entrance past the football practice fields and to the track. The workout will be 1xmile at RACE PACE (varsity boys 5:20-5:30, varsity girls 6:10-6:30, JV whatever your race pace is, no faster) then 4x400m at race pace then the DORKATHLON.

dorkathlon

2010-10-16T16:30:00.000-07:00

the first annual GHS XC dorkathlon will be THURSDAY. start practicing.

trophies for first and second place

here's my plan to deal with large numbers. Girls team will randomly draw out a boys name from a hat and they'll be a team. may have to have a couple girl-girl teams. that's 24 pairs of competitors roughly.

events will be done with a boy/girl team

1. head ball - boy/girl team have to hold a ball up by putting it between their heads and pushing together and sprint 100 meters. I'll do 6 teams at a time head to head competition, winners advance to finals, award points for 6-5-4-3-2-1 drop your ball and you're disqualified.

2. shoelace race - on the "go" they tie shoelaces together for one shoe and go 50 yards on football field. award points for 6-5-4-3-2-1 Fall down and you're disqualified.

3. eat pasta run fasta -- using a piece of spaghetti in your mouth pick up one piece of penne pasta off the track and sprint 100 meters with out it falling off.

4. cookie face - everyone gets a cookie on their forehead. you have to wiggle your face and move your face and contort your face and get the cookie in your mouth. first six in get points - cookie falls off ur DQ'd. Can't touch it with hands.

5. 800m prediction run - one of the partners runs an 800 with a prediction time, you can go REAL fast or REAL slow or medium. closest 6 get points.

BNC FINALS

2010-10-16T16:28:00.000-07:00

boys 4pm, girls 430pm, all JV 5pm.

All athletes be to the country club by 3pm, do normal warmup routine. jog first mile, walk to first hill out back, skip across through woods at top of hill like we did the other day at practice and go to 2 mile mark. Jog last mile.

BNC FINAL race is a big determiner of whether or not you're all conference. Go Blue Devils!!

Portage Report

2010-10-10T15:38:00.000-07:00

Boys 8th of 42 teams at the Portage Invitational. At our team meeting we said if we had the perfect race we could finish in the top 3, a terrible race would put us about 20th. I'll take 8th. We beat #6 ranked Mattawan and were right behind #7 ranked St. Joseph. Any time you can beat a ranked team like this you have to be happy ... but I don't think these boys are happy yet. They do not want to settle for "we ran pretty well." They want to win, they are competitors. We had excellent season best times/races from Charlend Howard, Joe Jones and Nate Fischer - their times in the heat (87 degrees at race time) and dust were the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fastest times ever by a GHS boy since we've been going to Portage. Ian Callison also had a career best time (1738) and Bryan Slocum is improving fast and over some nagging injuries finally. Jake Pasternak (#1 boy in first race) is still struggling to get back to his early season form but I'm confident he'll return soon. If, and that's a big IF, we can put it all together so everyone runs to their potential these boys will be tough to beat. Just 3 weeks ago we tied with St. Clair at the Holly Invite and today we beat them by nearly 100 points. Scoring us head to head against TCWest (who ran on the same course 30 minutes after us) we also beat them. It was a good day. We are currently ranked as "honorable mention" in the state rankings and after today I think i can safely say we're a top 10 team.

boys varsity results http://results.active.com/pages/displayNonGru.jsp?rsID=101031

Girls 9th out of 42 teams. Megan Borgeson still not fully recovered from her flu virus and Katelynn Dreyer having an asthma attack/trouble and the other girls just running "average" and we were very close to #6 ranked East Grand Rapids and ahead of regional competition Fremont. Amanda Olds lead the way with a medal winning 31st overall and Anna Kassuba just missed in 54th. Geena Duff contines to improve and get back into her normal racing times and Maria Warren rounds out a solid varsity effort. katelynn dreyer and noelle warren filled out our varsity squad and Krystin Dreyer had a great effort to finish in the top 20 and earn a medal. I hate to be a "shoulda woulda coulda" with this girls team but I have to say that I think we're definitely now a top 10 team in the state. When, and if, we can hit on all cylinders and each girl runs to her potential I think we'll be shocking some people. But, we have to get through our tough regional first.

BNC #2

2010-10-05T18:54:00.000-07:00

boys BNC results - boys 3rd again

Charlend Howard 5th overall, just 20 seconds out of first, led the race for the first mile, great effort.
Nate Fischer 10th overall, a big improvement from his first BNC and coming on strong in the last week.
Joe Jones 12th overall, not his best race but he'll be at his best in two weeks at the BNC finals.
Jake Pasternak - 27th, well off his 7th place finish in the first BNC. Jake has had two great races then two lackluster races, this must mean his next two will be stellar.
Bryan Slocum 29th - Bryan is sitll trying to bounce back from a summer of marching and carrying heavy packs in basic training, dealing with shin splints, and now knee problems.

Ian Callison and Sean Hope rounded out our varsity scorers. Our goal was to try to knock off TCWest but we just didnt perform today. It seems when one boy has a bad day a couple others have a great day. Then when the boys who had great days have an off day, the others have good days. We need to start having 5 boys with good races if we expect to qualify for the state finals again.

girls 4th - at first i was disappointed to be beaten by TCWest and Cadillac but in hindsight i think the girls ran well today.

Amanda Olds - 6th overall with a very fast time on a tough course, her time here today ranks as one of the top 3-4 times ever by a GHS girl here.
Katelynn Dreyer 12th - arguably her best BNC race ever! also her first time as 2nd girl this season. with a sick Megan Borgeson she stepped up big time.
Anna Kassuba 15th - steady and patient Anna had almost the exact time she ran as a sophomore, and that season was her best season ever so she's right on track.
Geena Duff - 16th overall and ready to crack into the 19's at Portage. She's back to 100% after a tough viral sickness.
Megan Borgeson - sick sick sick and still our 5th girl today.
Varsity scoring rounded out by Maria and Noelle Warren

JV highlights - Paige Hypio one of the top JV runners in the conference earns herself a trip to Portage as our 8th girl. Erin Borgeson huge personal best time on a tough course. Tyler Sugden had a personal best by one minute and is only seconds from varsity. Josh Green had a personal best time by over one minute AND is currently 10th man. Logan Wicker had a season best time by over one minute.

Race Report

2010-09-25T17:57:00.000-07:00

Gaylord boys make it three in a row. The GHS boys XC won the 42nd annual Delta/Al Kayner Invite this Saturday, defeating second place Ogemaw Heights by a score of 109-219. Top runner for GHS was, once again, Charlend Howard in a fine time of 10:29 in 9th place. Charlend's time today ranks him as the third fastest GHS boy in the last 8 years on the flat Delta course, right behind Nick Lewis and Chris Olds. Just a step behind, in his best race of the year, was Nate Fischer. Nate has been steadily improving and the flat, fast course played right to his strength - speed. #3 man for the Devils was Joe Jones and #4 was solid Ian Callison. A fast improving Bryan Slocum rounded out varsity scoring. Joe was not on top form today, he needs a tougher hillier hotter race to be at his best and Delta was none of that. Bryan continues to get faster and is approaching where he was last year - another couple weeks and I'm confident he'll be there. The varsity was rounded out by Jake Pasternak and Sean Hope.

On the girls side, the GHS harriers arguably had their best showing of the '10 campaign with their 18th straight Delta win. Dave Wenzel's dominating teams of the 90's started the streak and these ladies kept it alive today. Led by a great 1-2 punch of Amanda Olds 5th overall in 12:09 and Megan Borgeson 6th in 12:10 the ladies scored 91 points to easily outdistance Ogemaw at 219 points. These two girls run very well together and their times today put them right on the mark Amanda ran back in '08 when she achieved all-state status. I've been keeping the records that Dave Wenzel started back in 80's and their times today rank them as the 4th and 5th fastest girls ever on this course - only being bettered by Thereseann Zimmerman, Sloan Secord and Amber Kassuba. Anna Kassuba was #3 scorer with her best Delta time in her four year varsity career. #4 and 5 girls were Katelynn Dreyer and Maria Warren, both bettering last years times and solidifying our win with good races. Noelle Warren and Krystin Dreyer rounded out our varsity on the day. A highlight of the GHS performances was the 1-2-3-4-6 finish of the lady blue devil JV runners. Geena Duff earned her varsity spot back (after a tough viral sickness) with a huge 25+ second win (and 4th fastest time of the day on the team) followed by Paige Hypio, Dawn, Pagels, Nicole Wehner, and Erin Borgeson. these JV girls were truly the class of the field and would have definitely scored well in the VARSITY race as a team. I was especially impressed with Erin Borgeson's performance.

Workouts, week 7

2010-09-19T06:04:00.001-07:00

Monday - Easy distance run, Doumas, get a drink, Aspen, Doumas, back to GHS.
Tuesday - first BNC meet at Alpena - 1135 East Golf Course Road, Alpena (google directions parents)
Wed - Easy run
Thursday - 4x800m race pace ON GRASS
Friday - easy run with stride outs
Saturday - DELTA INVITE 2 MILE RACE
Sunday - OFF

A few things to remember. It's the point in the season where you should be tired and feeling borderline burned out. We're riding the edge of overdoing it and if this is too much for you and you are hurting/injured/sick let me know. Next week will be a KILLER speedwork week where we crank out intervals going 100% all out fast. This will give you the leg speed that you currently are lacking. To quote Joe Jones "My legs felt like they had nothing in them at Holly." This will change soon for everyone. Last week was a tough week and we still ran great at Holly, this is a very good sign.
