Getting Closer & Getting Stronger

Athletes,

We are now five weeks into preseason base training and you are getting stronger each day. Please remember that consistency is the #1 variable in getting faster and staying healthy. With this in mind, it is important that you make every effort to attend practice, and if you can't, please communicate the reason for your absence to Coach Horton or Eisele before the workout. You owe it to yourself, your teammates and your coaches.

I also wanted to remind you about the content of the contract you signed at the beginning of preseason training.  It is imperative that the athletes in our group set a good example for the other girls. This means that you take your training seriously, arrive to attendance on time, be respectful to all coaches and athletes on the track team, and simply exhibit behavior that others can look up to and emulate. We want to make our school and community a better place.

Please see the training plan link below and put the El Toro All-Comers meet taking place on  February 11 on your calendar.

Keep running,
Coach Horton

Back to School

Athletes,

You've all put in strong and committed efforts over Winter Break to begin building your base for track season. As we roll into a new year and semester, it will be important for you to stay focused on both your academics and athletics. Remember to stay in communication with your coaches about aches or pains and any times that you will be missing practice.

I have included links below to the next two weeks of training (please not the all-comers meet in Huntington Beach on the 21st) and the schedule of meets. Please take a moment to share these dates with your parents so you can plan accordingly. Also, for most athletes, we will continue to have Friday and Sundays as rest days. Mondays (occasionally), Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays will generally be quality workout days, so please attempt to schedule appointments on Wednesdays or Fridays when possible.

Finally, the Joshua Tree highlight video is linked below.

Joshua Tree Recap & WInter Break Training

Athletes,

Our Second Annual Joshua Tree Mini-Camp was a great success! We completed some great training, did some rock climbing, and didn't get frostbite! I firmly believe that our group is a "sisterhood" and our trip has forged/strengthened a bond between you that will bind you together through fond memories and fun adventures. 

The week's training plan is also linked below.

Coach Horton
