Competition Plan by Runner through 10/13 Meets

Having a large and talented roster is both a challenge and an opportunity!

It's a challenge because we have more talented runners on the roster than we can properly utilize in some meets.  For example, we would like to give some of our faster JV runners an opportunity to compete for the lead in some smaller races, but some of our more experienced runners are "in the way."  So we need to schedule a variety of meets for everyone to get developmentally appropriate competitive experiences.  And of course there is the not so small challenge of transporation and logsitics!

On the other hand, having a big roster also allows us to be creative - we can be competitve in many cases by drawing on different combinations of runners.  Our hope is that this keeps more people fresh and involved through the seasaon.

This is a long winded way of introducing our competition plan for the next three weeks.  No one is entered into all of our meets.  In most cases, we are trying to have our runners compete in one meet per week, and in a few cases, two meets in the same week.  Finally, the competition plan also takes into account limitation in transportation (one bus can carry 50 runners, for example).
