April 29 - May 4 and Cedar & Orem Invites Recaps (UPDATED)

As we come down to the last couple weeks of the season, we just want to let you all know that we are very proud of the great season you have all had and that we have had as a team.  It is great to see HSers who are dedicated and will put in the time and effort to be the best they can at something difficult (even when it seems like we aren't seeing that immediate pay off).  For some of you, this will be your last race of the season - either at JV Region and/or at Herriman.  Remember all the hard work you have put in and let's go get some great marks to close out the year.  Please look at the schedule below with a few key announcements - please be to practice tomorrow, know what your plans are for the weekend if you are headed to Herriman, we will need help with the Youth Meet on Wednesday, and most importantly... let's bring the same energy and enthusiasm we all had at the start of the year to these last few weeks.

Thought of the Week: "I have found that it's not so much how you start, but how you finish that counts. "
-Brittany L. Engels
I think this quote about says it all.  It usually is pretty easy to start something, but along the way we often find many people fall off for one reason or another.  But you are here; you have made it!  Hopefully through this journey, you have found joy and accomplishment in what you have been able to do.  Thanks for being such a great team and a great group of people to work with!
