I started this season not knowing exactly what to expect from my teams.  I lost my entire top 7 boys and girls from last years teams that dominated every meet they entered.  My honest goal was top 3 in our league.  After a month of practice and a couple meets I readjusted my goals for the team.  I decided that if other teams had a bad day and we improved and had an amazing day, we could win both league titles.  Realistically, though, I was hoping for top 2 in both boys and girls.  Both teams did an amazing job of improving throughout the season, with the girls being especially surprising with 3 7th graders as my top 3 runners.  We went to the junior high portion of the Mt. SAC Invitational and won the boys sweepstakes race and got second in the girls sweepstakes race with the individual race champ (Hagen Reedy).  As we got closer to the league finals I still though we had a shot to win both races.
