NIKE, AWARDS + OFF-SEASON TRAINING

Just a quick note to wrap up the end of the season and give some information to the Nike group.

End of the Season Awards & Off-Season D-Crew Meeting

📅 Saturday, November 22nd⏰ 8:00 AM📍 Location: TBA

We started to give weekly awards throughout the season, which is more meaningful so our end-of-year awards will look a little different. I want to recognize more people for the work they do to make the team better. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to focus on the team all season and then give out 3 individual awards at the end of the year.

Awards & Recognition

• Letter, JV, and Participation Certificates

• Improvement Awards

• Mile Club Awards

• State Awards

  • Academic All-State

  • SDCCTFCA All-State

Off-Season Plan

We make our biggest gains in the winter—often more than other schools and individuals—so I’m excited to see who stays shows up and works hard.

We’ll cover:

• Individual strengths to continue developing

• Areas to grow as a team and individually

• Days we’ll meet as a group, Final Surge, the new app we have to use for communication, etc.

Nike Heartland Regional

This is officially the largest race in the United States with over 6,000 entries. Each race feels very similar to state-meet competition, so it will be exciting to see how we stack up.

Race Times & Boxes

• Boys – Open Race #1: 8:55 AM — Box 14 & 15

I believe Coach Ben will be around on Sunday morning—so be sure to find him!

That's it for now! It's been a fun season and I can't wait to see how this weekend goes for the Nike crew.
