Or in Coach Scott’s case AND Hockey & Cycling. June 11th begins the hard-core cycling training to try to qualify for 40K Cycling Senior Nationals in Tulsa OK 2027. I must finish top 4 in the state. In 2024, I finished 3rd and raced nationals Des Moines IA last August ending ranked 25th in the USA.

Taro (10) getting some experience in spikes (see below about our racing shoe sharing program) on the track in the boys 9-10's 1500 meters last weekend @ Bay Area Youth Invitational. Run Club buys gently used racing shoes so that we can get our runners some experience running in real flats and spikes in races! Run Club is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and donations we receive help fund both scholarships and programs like the racing shoe sharing! Two years ago, two 8 year old girls were flown to nationals in Indiana by the club and last year one 9 year old boy was on scholarship to nationals too! We want our runners to be able to take their running as far as they can!

Thea (9) leading both the girls and the boys 9-10's 1500 meters last Saturday at the Bay Area Classic Youth Invitational. It would come down to a 100 meter kick and she took 2nd to the top boy by less than a second! Perfect running form!

In Run Club's 2nd season, we had just 12 girls on the team and Matilda was our best runner! She just finished up her Senior year of running for Menlo-Atherton as their #2 varsity runner in cross-country and qualified for the California XC State Championships. She was named to the Peninsula Athletic All-League (PAL) Girls Runners team, and also qualified for CCS finals in track! She also won the 15-17 age group at the Schoolhouse Rocks 5K earlier this month. She will head to the University of Washington next fall! Her story is in the link below:

She's also a Junior Olympics Cross-Country Nationals qualifier and raced in Indiana in 25 degree snowy conditions last December!

Don’t worry, everyone gets the same amount at every practice. 1 Capri Sun. 1. Fruit Gummies. 1 Goldfish. Hard work = Rewards (“Burden vs.Opportunity”)!
