5v5. My team won 5-3, then 3-2. I had a crazy amazing catch, grabbing a hammer throw that was barely above the ground and quickly travelling away.

First day of cross country tryouts.

In 2021, we had 39 try out and kept 38

Last year, we had 54 who wanted to be on the team, and kept 46

This year, we have 72 trying out. I think we'll likely keep between 46-50. I am really not looking forward to cutting anyone. Hopefully a few will decide to not come to the time trial- I'd rather than self-cut than me have to cut runners who want to stay. My son is an incoming 6th grader and will likely be right at the limit.

13 people on a pretty hot, sunny day (summer is coming), my team had sub. We had the worse team- 3 weak throwers, slower, and we got whupping in the warmup. So, following Jon's law, we won 5-4 and 3-2. I think I played well- I don't think I had a single drop or bad throw.

Lunch- humid day. 5v5, other team had sub. My team should have lost but did better in warmup, then got stomped 1-5 in the game. We all had bad throws, but I had a ton of them. Then we did 3v3 and lost 2-3. Not a day for the highlight reel.

elliptical and treadmill/XC practice

today was the official XC time trial for my team. 4 boys were a no-show, so we had 34 try out, and I think we'll keep 27 to run plus 3 conditional. 6 girls were a no-show, so 29 ran, and we'll keep 21 plus 3 conditional. That means we'll dress 48 on race day plus 6 more trying to earn their way onto the race day team. Up to 54 at practice. That will be nuts.
