Consider this question? WHAT DID YOU LEARN?
JULY RECAP - DOG LOOP TEMPO
We have reached 2 check points along our 2023 team journey. 1st 6 weeks of training is complete. We hope you have learned some key things about running, are getting to know your teammates and are feeling healthy and motivated to be your best self.
Dog Loop tempo isn't a race, but a timed effort we have done for 11 years that gives the coaches valuable information about where each athlete is in their running progression.
Good to see most of you stayed in good shape during GHSA dead week as reflected in your tempo #2 results.

TEAM TIME TRIAL
This was our dress rehersal so WE are prepared to go racing next WEek with the confidence to arrive at the starting line relaxed, confident and ready to show off our hard work this summer.
Great job by our captains on getting everyone to the starting line on time and following our pre race plan. The plan works!
The goal was to run under control the first mile and run faster the second mile. This is AGAIN, preparation for next WEek. WE will be running 5K so it is important to run mile 1 under control. Smart early BRAVE late. This is the way.

GREAT JOB! It was a good day to be a WOLVERINE
THE WEST WAY
Our team first vibe means everything to WFHSXC. We will celebrate every runner's journey towards finding their best self. WFHSXC state results rank with the best in 7A.
We will strive for team excellence at all levels. Last 2 years, our average team score at region was 2nd best behind Lambert. In 2023? We aspire to be first.
We can be both very good friends and very good runners all at the same time. Pursuit of team friendly culture and championship level performance are not mutually exclusive goals but are instead symbiotic
THE POWER OF.........
WE
