Took me a moment to sit down and do this post. Part of me was hoping that somehow we would see the score change on Finished Results and we would have one more week together and a trip up to Fresno. The boys and girls fought till the end and narrowly missed making it to CIF State (girls by 4 points and guys by 11). Huge congrats to Luca Romero for qualifying as an individual!! We are so proud of you…go show Fresno how these Eagles can fly!
In thinking about this season and the outcome, I thought about The Rolling Stones lyrics “you can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need”. That resonated with me. After all we have collectively been through over the past year and a half, this season was what we all needed. Being together, practicing as a group, long bus rides to the middle of nowhere to run, Big Bear talent show, 5am bus rides, trip to In-N-Out after a race, silly TikTok dance battles, ice baths as a group, pizza parties, hugs after a hard workout, sharing war stories from a recent race, congratulating each other for a big PR, weights, stalking competition of Strava, laughing together, setting huge goals and running after them, high fives, simple acts of love and recognition from teammates! These are the things that make this sport and our team amazing. You are all champions to me each day you make the choice to lace up and run hard! We all end this season as better versions of who we were at the start of this season! Thank you Eagles for another amazing season. PROUD BUT NEVER SATISFIED
