Viking Opener: The RACERS emerge!

It was another beautiful day at Spring Lake as the Panthers took on runners from 42 schools (Willits to Castro Valley!) at the 26th Annual Viking Opener. We had 59 runners (plus one coach) compete -- a record turnout!

Let's look at the various team results:

* Jr/Sr Girls: 2nd
* Fr/Soph Girls: 13th
* Open Girls: 2nd

* Senior Boys: 3rd
* Junior Boys: 8th
* Fr/Soph Boys: 6th
* Open Boys: 3rd

Complete results, including a combined top 50 performance list across all races, can be found at the PD running site: www.northbay.com/running

The most important development today was the emergence of your racing instincts. Most of you have now had 3 races, and the rookies on the team are finally seeing the benefits of consistent training. We saw focused, determined efforts. We saw runners who were willing to test their limits. We saw a lot of smiles after the races. It feels good to run fast, doesn't it?!
