Probably not going to write a lot today because we're all still tired and recovering for at least one more day. But... THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP AT THE INVITE! Athletes who helped with anything (set-up, take-down, hurdles, finish, events, crowd control, trash clean-up, holding tents down, and whatever else), Parents with events and food and concessions and dinner and supporting your kids and supporting the team, and coaches for everything.

Quote of the Week -
"5 Things That Tell How Committed an Athlete Is:
1. What time they arrive at practice
2. The attitude they bring
3. Their openness to feedback
4. The questions they ask
5. The extra work they're willing to do"
- Allistair McCaw
We're kind of at the mid-season mark and many of you are starting to figure out if you really want to do this track thing. I've heard many of you make comments about goals you'd like to achieve, and we did our little $10 million check visualization last week. All this is great, but now it comes down to actually doing the work. And the work is all about being committed. How committed are you to your goals and how committed are you to our TEAM? Whether track is your #1 sport or something that you do to support you in other endeavors, honestly evaluating yourself in these 5 areas, will make you better individually and make you a better teammate as we strive for our TEAM goals.
