DyeStatCal's picture of the weekend!


Photo and below August 2 email text from Thousand Oaks HS coach Robert Radnoti.
Here's the Victory Lap at the Thousand Oaks 24-Hour Relay. We finished at 9:22 this morning with 88 of exactly 100 starters completing the entire 24 hours. The get Psycho Runner T-shirts. We had a midnight swim/dive at the TOHS pool and kept all the relay teams going. The kids seemed to have had a blast.

 

Near-term Calendar
Upcoming events within the next month!

  • Cross-Country all-comers (continuous, throughout the state)
  • Big Bear 'fun runs' w/ Ryan Hall (continuously in the summer, in Big Bear)
  • Inaugural Jim Arquilla 5K run (Saturday, August 23rd in Long Beach)
  • AAF 'Champions' Coaches Clinic (Saturday, August 23rd at Mt. SAC)
  • Sunset In The Park 2.8- and 4.8-mile runs (Thursday, Aug. 28 in Huntington Beach) (see note below)
  • Important caution on Sunset in The Park: HS cross-country athletes CANNOT run unattached on a scoring team in this race, since it takes place after the official XC starting date by CIF rules. You can race  on your own, but if you run for a scored squad, you commit a CIF-SS violation. Unattached competition is supposed to mean competing on your own, not as part of a scoring team -- the term 'unattached team' is an oxymoron.
