The team started out with stretches as usual. There were 36 girls in all including several who had returned from vacation or other commitments. The coach started with some strength building followed by a ten lap run. Today he allowed the girls to make their own pace. The team is staying together longer with only a few girls being lapped. Seven girls finished in the lead group followed closely by a string of 10 or 15.

While the girls were running the coaches dialoged about the day’s practice, tryouts and field maintenance. The latter is threatening to disrupt the tryouts on Saturday and next weeks practice.
