Racing is a result of what you put in. Training matters a great deal and proper preparation for a championship meet demands greater determination. Congratulations to Rachel on her PR and her steady improvement throughout the season. It is a model of what can happen and should happen. We have a group of young runners who enjoy running, but in order to race better, we must be more motivated and driven to excel. I encourage you to keep pushing each other and help each other to develop and improve. You can be better if two things happen: if you choose to be better and you work hard to be better. This is what running and life is all about. Strive to be the best you can be now and always.
