The end of a great season...
It is time to call it and end the season due to so many other sports obligations and vacations that all of our members are partaking in this summer. Everyone showed so much improvement and the coaches hope that everyone learned a lot and had a lot of fun. We sure did! What a great group of young runners. Or course, we can not forget the parents for your support and dedication to bringing your children to practice and driving to various meets. GCTC rules!
There are a few more summer track meets that some of our runners are participating in and we wish them all the best of luck. Please keep running ..... whether it be playing soccer, field hockey, around the backyard, or whatever your heart desires.
Everyone keep in touch. We can continue to use the GCTC blog to communicate what is happening with our runners. If anyone is heading to the track for a practice, let others know so maybe others are available.
Until we run again.....................

Flames Invitational
Virginia Beach. 95 degrees with breeze. 44 teams. 1100 athletes.
Ryan placed second in the 800m with a 2:10.06. Almost run off the track by the outside pack at the start (from the 2 hole), and took 200m to get up to 4th position. Ran down Malcolm with 50m remaining to get second. Triple Jump was a mixup, switching twice between pits, not allowing run throughs because of schedule. PR'd on his first jump (33'9.5"), and bettered that with his second. Ryan finished third with a 34'0". Injured his back on the third jump, reaching for the board. Trainer told him to rest the muscle strain for a week, and thus the 1500m was scratched. Good day despite the problems.
