Captains Blog - Week 12

After two more weeks of training to peak at state, the day finally arrived. We arrived at Jamestown around noon to a little bit of rain, but we didn’t let it ruin our day. Before disembarking the bus we all wrote team on each others’ hands to emphasize how we couldn’t run like we do without everyone encouraging and supporting one another. Girls raced first at 2:00 pm and ran hard to earn a second place team finish. Several of our girls had season best times and there were even a few PRs. Later our boys ran another great race led by senior Ethan Harsell to place 14th as a team. It was super awesome to see all our runners working hard and giving it their all in the final meet of the season. I can’t wait to see what exciting things are in store next season for the Central Knights.

This week has been bitter sweet the Knights XC team. This was the last week of practice that they whole team would be there for, preparing for everybody's last race; EDC. The week started out with a long run on Monday, and then on Tuesday we went down to our home course to run 800s and 300s. Wednesday was a little bit exciting, as we got a snow storm so we were stuck inside to do our stretches and then head home. Thursday we had speed workout of 400s, that we did on a one way street because of all of the snow. Friday was a nice easy recover day that was getting us ready for our last home meet. Meet day was cold and wet, with some snow still on the ground, but our team was ready. The middle schoolers got us off to a good start as we had many good races and some top placers as well. The varsity girls were next, with our very own Mikayla Weiss being all conference and runner up, and with myself being all conference as well(12th). Although some of our girls didn't have the best races, we still fought hard and ended up getting 2nd as a team. Our varsity boys also fought hard during there race, with captain Adam Arnold leading them with and getting all conference(14th). Even though some of the team didn't have there best races at EDC, I couldn't be prouder to be a part of this team. My last EDC was one to remember with such great coaches and teammates. Everyone worked so hard and fought through there races. Next up is state and we will be back to kick some butt!

This was a week that we have been waiting for all year,EDC week! For some of your younger runners it was their last week for the year. But we had to deal with some weather this week which was a bit of a curve ball! We had snow and cold temperatures which isn’t ideal running conditions! That didn’t stop us from working hard all week. We had to do a cut mileage run and a speed workout on a side street to avoid the snow. But when we got to Saturday we still had some snow on the ground but thanks to Jason Vasichek for clearing the course of snow and leaves! But during the race the course was mushy and muddy from the snow melting which made for a messy race! But we all worked hard and had a good day! Even with the course conditions we still had 9 PRs on the team. So with that the top 10 runners move onto a off week then state!

Captains Blog - Week 8

This week was a huge preparation week for our home meet! Last Friday, we had a girls team bonding event which was a blast. We did a lot of fun activities and built our relationships together as a team. We had a sleep over and then got up bright and early to work at the Wild Hog Marathon. It was fun to be there together to cheer on the runners. On Monday, we had our long run down University. Tuesday, we had our first speed workout of the week. We ran at Lincoln, which is our race course so that was super exciting. We had a lot of new kids that had never ran on the course, so that was really fun for them. On Thursday, we had another speed workout at Lincoln, and the nerves started kicking in. Friday was a really rainy and cold day. The max mileage that we could do was three, which was exciting for people who usually run 3+ miles. Saturday was the big day! We got to the tent at 11, and we cheered on our teammates the rest of the day. There were lots of team cuddles, as it was so cold outside. It was a really exciting meet for many kids who moved up from running middle school or JV to Varsity. Claire Hynek and Aria Kinseth both ran Varsity for the first time and did really well. Dylan Van de Bogert had a very good varsity race, running a new PR by over a minute, and Mikayla Weiss stepped up and had a great race, running her fastest time this season. We were able to win the fork, although it was a tight margin this year. But, we were victorious over Red River, which is always a big deal!
