1A West Regionals should be a very competitive meet.  Lets make sure we encourage our runners with positive comments and help them focus on the task at hand.  

Runners make sure you are taking care of the details 
(Parents also please help assist with this):
Proper Hydration
Healthy eating/refueling
REST (8 1/2 - 9 hours a night...even the weekends!)
Making good decisions in the class room and social situations
Encourage one another, Positive thoughts and comments.  At this point the mental edge should not be taken lightly.

We have worked really hard to get to this point and have put ourselves in a great position to be top 4 and return to the state meet!
