The Woodbridge Invite was a huge success!  I want to thank all the parents and athletes that stepped up and helped make our meet the best there is!  No one person can do all of this, and no one person can give the athletes an experience like this.  Thank you again to everyone involved.  We had over 12,000 athletes race in the meet, and I heard lots of positive comments from everyone!  Great Job!  Special thanks to the students who came back again on Sunday and helped me unload the U-Haul, I appreciate your help!

We had a lot of great performances at our meet, a lot of new PR’s and a lot of great racing!  That makes it very hard to pick athlete of the meet, and I want everyone to realize we are proud of all the great performances we had.

On a side note, this was the fastest time for Woodbridge in our invitational ever, with a team time of 75:39 compared to 78:06 in ‘17, 80:11 in ‘16, 77:59 in ‘15, 77:06 in ’14, 79:58 in ‘13, and 77:50 in ’12. And Ranked 15th in the sweepstakes race!

Athlete of the Meet:

Brett Knutson led the boys sweepstakes team with a time of 14:35 (3rd fastest in Woodbridge history!), and Lauren Tsai who ran a time of 18:56 taking 4th in the freshman race!

The Week:

Monday – Friday Practice.  This will be a hard training week, as we get prepared for next weeks first League Meet.  It has been hot, so please make sure you are prepared (hydrated, eating healthy, getting enough sleep), and are doing your core and warm down!  Far too many athletes are skipping these!
