Alumni Update - Sarah Tully
Over the weekend, WHS alum and current junior at Williams College Sarah Tully finished off her cross country season by placing 29th at the NCAA Division 3 National Championship race in Louisville, Kentucky on a muddy chewed up 6 kilometer course. She was the second finisher for her team which was third overall. By placing in the top 40 she earned All-American status. This caps off a fall campaign that was a success from beginning to end and included being named NESCAC All-Conference and NCAA Divsion 3 New England All-Region (Williams was the team champion at both of these).

MIAA Eastern Mass. Division 4 Championship Results
The season wrapped up for WHS cross country yesterday at the EMass Division 4 Championships. Held on the Wrentham Developmental Center course, the conditions were clear and cold but not as severe as originally forecast. The ground, which had absorbed rain from two storms within the previous five days, was soft and in places chewed up by foot traffic from the previous divisional races held on the same course earlier in the day.
The boys team capped off a season of across the board improvement by finishing 7th overall out of 26 teams. The team was led by co-captain Kyle Chen who joined the sub-18 minute club, one of only nine WHS athletes to have done so since the current course was established in 2010. Keys to the team success were smart pacing early on with the soft footing and the narrow time spread of just over 30 seconds between the first and fifth scoring runner. This result is the first time the boys team has finished in the top 10 at the EMass Championship since 2004, when the Wayland boys also finished seventh. The point total of 250 is the lowest since 2003.
The girls team, led by co-captain McKenna Kelemanik finished 18th of 22 teams. The team's point total of 403 was the lowest since 2012; the average time for the top five finishers was the fastest since 2013 and the time spread between the first and fifth runner was the smallest since 2012. McKenna wrapped up her high school cross country career by finishing 20th overall.

MIAA Eastern Mass. Division 4 Championship - 11/9/19
Meet Site:
Wrentham Developmental Center. The address is 131 Emerald Street, however the race course is located a little further down the road, in the large field at the intersection of Emerald Street and Shear St. This is across the street from the William A. Rice Recreation Area.
Bus time 11:45
Please arrive a few minutes early so we can get on the road in good time.
Race Schedule and Entries:
Boys Race 1:45
Girls Race 3:10
Meet Information:
• Weather forecast: Partly cloudy, temperature around 40 degrees with SW wind 5-10 mph. An up date forecast for Wrentham can be seen here. While not that strong, the wind will still have some bite to it. Dress appropriately including layers to wear when you're either waiting for your race or after having completed your cool down.
• Report to the starting line 10 minutes before your race is scheduled to start; keep your sweats on until the meet officials at the starting line tell you to remove them. Warmups will be placed in the laundry basket which will then be brought to the tent.
• Numbers will be assigned to you specifically for this meet; these numbers have an RFID chip attached to the back which interacts with a conductive mat at the finish line to record your time. The meet director has asked that athletes who aren't racing NOT wear their bib number if standing near the finish line; doing so can cause a false reading by the finish line mat. Also, don't crumple or fold your bib number. Finally, don't press the stop button on your wristwatch as you cross the finish line, since doing so might interfere with the RFID chip and your hand and wrist will obscure your bib number from view by the backup camera.
• The meet staff has asked that no one do their warmup or cool down among the buildings of the Wrentham Developmental Center, where patients are housed. Aside from the course itself, you can warmup and cool down on the fields across the street.
• A map of the course can be seen here.
The course is basically flat, with some gentle roll in places. The course is entirely on grass.
• Medals will be awarded to the top 15 finishers.
What to Bring:
• Uniform, including both jersey and shorts
• spare change of clothes so you can return your uniform when we return to WHS
• Everyday training shoes
• Racing shoes if you have them
• Multiple layers of clothing including clothes to wear while warming up and cooling down, in addition to dry warm clothes for after your race. Also, bring clothes to change into if you're returning your uniform after this meet.
• Water bottle (filled)
• Snacks for post-race (chocolate milk will be provided using proceeds from the Wayland XC Festival)
• Folding chair
• Blanket
For Parents:
• A parking fee of $5 will be collected for each car.
• We hope to return to WHS around or a little after 5 PM.
• Dogs aren't allowed on or near the course, best to leave them home.
• Snacks are welcome, but due to allergy concerns the Athletic Director has asked that any snacks be individually wrapped and ideally have the ingredients written on the label.

Week 11 Training Plan, 11/4-11/10
This week is the culmination of the season from a team perspective. The
hope is to put your best foot forward on Saturday at Wrentham.
Everything leading up to Saturday in practice is intended to help make
that possible. We're not reinventing the wheel here, so no major changes are afoot other than a further reduction in training volume. You've all made positive strides throughout the season and all signs point to You can improve your chances of doing well on Saturday by getting to
bed at a reasonable hour, drinking water regularly throughout the day
(to the tune of around 48 ounces a day), and eating a nutritious
balanced diet. Note that like the last two weeks, there's a scheduled day off during the week, however this week that day is Thursday and not Wednesday as it's been previously.
Monday 11/4 - Warmup including burpees followed by a PLR of either 36 or 48 minutes. The PLR will then be followed by 6x150m at faster than race pace with a 150m jog recovery.

48 minute PLR - 16 minutes easy, 12 minutes fresh, 12 minutes good, 8 minutes easy

Wrapped up with a 10 minute cooldown. The recovery between each 400 is 60-90 seconds, with 4.5 minutes before and after the mile. The site of this workout is TBD, my hope is to have it done on a track. If this is the case we'll meet in the parking lot and travel in one of the booster buses.
