The team will fly out of Baltimore on Thursday morning at 6 am. To me this maybe the biggest hurdle, getting 8 teenagers to do anything at 4 am is difficult. The team is scheduled to race at 10:30 on Saturday. For their full schedule of events you can go to www.niketeamnationals.com The team has a schedule of events that keeps them busy the entire time. Many of the girls parents and teammates are making the trip with them. The girls will be provided uniforms, warm-ups, and I have heard maybe even a pair of xc spikes.
I will try and post or email daily some the activities that the girls are doing, as many of you know I will not be coaching at this meet. I am a spectator only. I am sure it will be an enjoyable time. If we are lucky I think they can beat the Saratoga team from NY (ha ha). Pictures will be taken and posted as soon as I can.
Good luck to Allison Barnes (soph), Kelli Buck (senior), Sara Bailey (fresh), Megan Ravenscraft (jun), Danielle Burcham (jun), Leah Estremera (senior), Lindsay Lippencott (fresh), and Maggie Morey (jun). Enjoy this event and bring back many stories to tell your fellow runners.
