After taking April off from team training, we began the training season again on April 30th. We have been getting together 4x/week as a team to run/bike/lift weights and play some ultimate.
This past weekend, the athletes took part in a 5km running race and it served as their first test of fitness for the summer. Several athletes took part in the same race last year could compare times. Everyone improved their times significantly from last year, indicating that the training has been paying off and that they have maintained their fitness better than last year.
Listed below are time improvements from the previous year and then the results from this year.

For the Past Week, Emily Hannah and Mary O’Connell have been racing Scandinavian Cups in Latvia and Estonia. The have had some impressive races against very tough senior fields. They fly from Estonia to Turkey on Wednesday where they will compete in the World Junior Championships.

Max Scrimgeour flew to Estonia and arrived today. He will be in Estonia for the next 2 weeks and compete as a part of the US J1 Team.

You can find updates from both of these trips at http://nccsef.org/news/

The J1 and older team traveled to Aspen this weekend to race in the Supertour races. Our team was led by Haley Piske’s 3rd in the sprint and 5th in the 5km. Lucy Newman placed 6th in the 5km classic.

Meanwhile our J2 contingent was racing in the downtown 100 meter sprints that were a part of the famous Steamboat Winter Carnival.

Busy times!

One more week of school before we get a whole week off for Blues Break!
