CC Poker

Because sometimes long runs need a little distraction...

Rocori

Another unseasonably hot September day. The weather this season has been a surprise for everyone, but spirits remain positive and we roll with it. This was also a tough meet competitionwise, with almost all teams coming from AA schools. Still, the Nighthawks hung in there and gave their all.

Mora

Hot! That's the best way to describe this meet. Since this is the location of the Section 5A meet this year, we wanted to check it out. This meet's novelty was cookies (instead of medals or ribbons) for top finishers. Lots of good work out there, and now we know what to expect at the end of October!

Rocket Run

Beautiful day for our first official cross country meet of the season! We're very excited to see more of our runners working together out there on the race course, but don't get me wrong: they'll battle it out for the finish. Congrats to many who ran their first CC 5K ever! And thanks so much to Rockford High School for hosting a great invitational.

Mega Fun Day

What began in our very first season as a way to clear the original cross country trail, has now become a great team builder with different work projects each year (although brush clearing is standard). Morning practice, breakfast, a couple hours of work, lunch, and movie in the barn. Mega fun!

Season IV

First day of cross country practice, and we're so excited for Season IV! We definitely have our work cut out for us with this crew, but it is all going to be awesome.

Team Community Service Week

This week, we had a couple of opportunities to give back to the community that has been so supportive of us. The Corcoran Night to Unite brought hundreds of neighbors together to celebrate community, crime prevention, and strong police/community partnerships. We helped with food and games there. The Hanover Harvest Festival is a big, one-day event that begins with a 5K run and continues with a parade, games, vendors, bands, and lots of other activities. We set up several large tents, tables, etc. in preparation for the action. Everyone were all super appreciative of our help as we had solid crews working at different times over the course of the week. Great work, everyone!
