Season Wrap Up and Awards Night Information

I wanted to take the time to wrap up the season now that it is officially over, after Saturday's state meet.
 
I also wanted remind everyone that the awards banquet will be on Thursday. Here is the note from the athletic department: Fall Athletic Awards Night will be on Thursday, November 15th at 7 pm in the cafeteria. All the teams will begin the evening together for refreshments. Each family is asked to bring a dessert to share. After the Presentation of the Awards, teams will then move to separate rooms for individual awards
 
As I have stated in several emails in the past, the goals for the season were self improvement and accountability. The lettering system was geared towards those concepts so I wanted to make sure I took the time to post the results of the final time trial that was held a few weeks ago, in addition to a few numbers from the athletes that competed at Districts and Regionals. It was great to see the improvement from day 1 of practice to the fall but now is the time to keep that momentum and good habits going as you head into 2019.
 
3200m time trials
 

Lettering Criteria: Performance: Being in the top 10 @ any varsity competition(DCXC will be top 10 total times, since the races are separated by grade), achieving the time goal for the timed 3200(13:00 boys, 14:00 girls), or improving by 10%. AND Accountability: Having 2 or less unexcused absences in the month of October. 

-Of the 47 that completed both time trials, all 47 improved, and 36 improved by 10% or greater

Meet 10/10 Results

Here are the results from 2017 and 2018 for the County Meet. The course this year was slower due to some changes, muddy conditions in some spots, and adding the extra hill.

The best way to see if you improved from one year to the next would be to look at your overall place. That is the best way to figure out improvement year to year in most cases. 

Please let me know if you have any questions, thanks.

Meet 10/1 2 Mile Splits

 

Here are the times and 2 mile splits from the Wednesday meet. The 2m split is good information to use regarding pacing. If your last .98 was significantly(10-15+ seconds) faster than the other 2 miles you may not have been pushing hard enough during the beginning of the race. If your last.98 was significantly(15 + seconds) slower than the rest of the race you likely went out at a pace you were not ready for, or you just had an off day. If you were somewhere in the middle of that, you did a great job pacing.

 

Feel free to ask a coach how to best look at race splits and use that positively moving forward to the next competition.

 

Thanks.

We are taking the majority of our team.  We left out athletes with recent injury issues and athletes that have missed meets without communicating their absences coaches before the day of the event. The meet has to pay per bib and we had a good amount of no-shows without communication at DCXC, so we want to make sure we do not have cause the same issue for Glory Days.

If you have a question as to why you are not on the list, please communicate that to a coach.

We have had some issues of people not riding the bus and missing the warm-up with their teammates. Please ride the assigned bus with your teammates, if you cannot take the bus for some reason please speak to a coach about this.

    Injury Prevention/Care Resources

    One of the biggest issues in our sport is staying healthy as you progress through training. This is the main reason we implement various drills and strength/mobility exercises at practice but I wanted to make sure I provided everyone with a few more resources to potentially help with injury prevention and care.

    Please let me know if you have any questions here. Thanks.

    Injury Prevention Talk Monday 10/1

    At the beginning of practice on Monday 10/1 Dr. Ben Pearl DPM (a former cross country runner at McLean High school) has graciously offered to give a short 10 minute talk at the beginning of practice to review injury prevention, common running injuries, the psychology of recovery and when you should see a healthcare provider. He has worked with several of the District Track athletes that I coach on a case to case basis in addition to countless other runners in the area from beginner to professional.

    Grove Spine and Sports Care(grovespinesports.com):

    **Below is a message from Grove Spine and Sports Care. They have regularly treated the athletes of the District Track Club (including Coach Jacob and Coach Claudia). They also have treated a few of the Yorktown runners in the last month. I really think they are the best in the area at diagnosing the root of a potential and/or current injury and offering an evidence based/guided approach to injury prevention and/or care. We don't have any sort of deal for commission with them if we send runners their way, I just really think they are the best at what they do**  

    Here is what they sent:

    We accept most Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem, CareFirst) PPO plans (not HMO or POS plans) and the fee structure would be determined by the patient's specific benefit plan.  With the patient's member id # and date of birth we can look up individual benefits.  Pricing for the initial consult could range from $0 to $200.  For the follow up/treatment appointments, the fee would range from $0 to $95.  Again, all of this is dependent upon the individual coverage as defined by their Blue Cross Blue Shield plan.

    For patients without BCBS PPO plans, we charge $200 for the initial 1 hour chiropractic evaluation and treatment.  Follow up appointments are 30 minutes in length and cost $95.  We can provide a detailed statement to patients for submission to their own insurance company.

    We will perform a full clinical evaluation that will include our chiropractic assessment as well as a video gait assessment on our treadmill. From this initial evaluation we can decide the next steps that are best for each athlete, whether it is strengthening exercises, chiropractic treatment, and/or hands on manual therapies.  

    Should it be determined that an Opti-Gait assessment is warranted, fees and scheduling will be coordinated through Dr. Reilly.

    To schedule a chiropractic visit, patients can call our main number, 703.760.8110 or request an appointment through our website grovespinesports.com.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions regarding our fees our scheduling.

    Varsity Lettering Amendments

    I have amended the varsity requirements to reduce any confusion before we start implementing this policy next week. I added in a few excused absences including family emergencies. I didn't even think to include that before since it is a common sense no brainer. 

    I will send out another email as a reminder before Monday but at this point everyone should have received this communication.

    Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I am sure there will be flaws in the system but we as coaches feel that is is the best way to focus on developing/rewarding both accountability and self-improvement. 

     

    Varsity Lettering: 

    Performance: Being in the top 10 @ any varsity competition(DCXC will be top 10 total times, since the races are separated by grade), achieving the time goal for the timed 3200(listed below), or improving by 10%. Please complete the 3200m TT in the next 2 weeks if you wish to be eligible for a varsity letter.

    1 of the following:

    -Run @ Districts(Top 10)

    -3200m Under 13:00 for boys and 14:00 for girls

    -3200m TT  Improvement by 10%(We will do this the week of the District Meet with a second opportunity the week of the Regional Meet)

    AND

    Accountability: Having 2 or less unexcused absences in the month of October. We are giving everyone a week to get on top of their schedules and create the habit of communicating with coaches if they are not able to make practice. Practice logs will dictate attendance here, so please fill them out before you leave for the day.

    **Athletes(NOT PARENTS) must communicate an excused absence to a coach by 3:15pm for it to be counted as excused**

    Excused absences include:

    -Family Emergency: No explanation need but just communicate with a coach there

    -Another Sport Practice if communicated and approved by coaches: We excuse this because this allows runners to stay in shape and enjoy other forms of fitness building athletic activity.  Other sport participation is excused although we would ask that you prioritize cross country on workout days(intervals, tempo runs, etc). These days are the most important for self/team improvement.

    -Sickness/Injury/Fatigue/Soreness: Health is the biggest priority but is is important that everyone communicates any issues with coaches. If you are healthy enough to go to school, you are expected to report to practice to check in with a coach for further instructions. The instructions, will likely be to go home and rest or stretch/use rollers/cross train. 

    -Academics: We understand that everyone is a student athlete and we value/understand the importance of academics. Tutoring, taking an exam, etc will be excused if this is communicated to a coach. Please have a teacher  contact us or bring a note to practice if you expect to be excused. We would ask that you prioritize cross country on workout days(intervals, tempo runs, etc). These days are the most important for self/team improvement.

    -Extracurricular Club if communicated and approved by coaches: We understand that everyone is a student athlete and we value/understand the importance of other interests. Please have a club leader contact us or bring a note to practice if you expect to be excused. Club participation is excused although we would ask that you prioritize cross country on workout days(intervals, tempo runs, etc). These days are the most important for self/team improvement. 

    -Work: In the future, we ask that anyone wishing to earn a varsity letter schedule work around practice times since you will know our schedule. As of now, work will be counted as an excused absence since we are just implementing these policies.   Please have a supervisor contact us or bring a note to practice if you expect to be excused.

    Watches

    I have already had a few good questions about running watches. So I wanted to write a quick email about my thoughts there. 

    There are many of running watches out there. Some more high tech with GPS and heart rate tracking that can cost over $200, some more basic with simple timing functions that cost $15-40 dollars.

    If this is your first watch, I would recommend something simple since/cheap all we are looking to have you do is create the habit of bringing watches to practice and timing runs/workout and lap splits.  I recommend Timex since they are durable and easy to use. Most watches are heavily water resistant and can be worn all day, which decreases the chances of forgetting the watch.

    I recommend going to Amazon and typing in either Timex watch men(for boys) or Timex watch women(for girls). All of the options on the first pages seem to be solid options.

    Other than that, please email me if you have any further questions. Thanks.

    Announcements Week of 9/24

    Tuesday Meet(9/25): Everyone in groups 5-10 will be running the meet tomorrow @ Lake Fairfax. We will be meeting in the cafeteria area @ 3:50 and leaving @ 4pm. Please email me with any questions. Thanks.

    DCXC(9/29): Everyone is entered this weekend, please let a coach know if you cannot attend. There will be more details to follow later this week. 

    Team Meeting(9/24) Follow Up

    As mentioned today, we are making a few changes to practice and the overall structure of our program to work towards better helping all runners develop the skills of hard work, dedication, self reliance, self awareness, patience, goal setting, resilience, etc.

    1. After Practice Logs: We are going to have small training logs for runners to fill out after practice. You can include as much detail as the space allows on the log, but at minimum we are just looking for the amount of minutes of running or cross training(on a recovery day) or your workout splits(on a hard day). Coaches will no longer be giving splits to runners at practice, it is up to the runner to have a watch and remember/record their own splits/length of their run. All of this allows runners to take ownership in their running, be deliberate with their training, see progression over time, improve self sufficiency and learn about themselves as athletes. This also allows the coaches to focus on coaching everyone on a more individual level, rather than looking at multiple watches.

    2. Varsity Lettering: Earning a varsity letter will require 2 components: Performance and accountability.

     

    Performance: Being in the top 10 @ any varsity competition(DCXC will be top 10 total times, since the races are separated by grade), achieving the time goal for the timed 3200(listed below), or improving by

    1 of the following:

    -Run @ Districts(Top 10)

    -3200m Under 13:00 for boys and 14:00 for girls

    -3200m TT Improvement by 10%

    AND

    Accountability: Having 2 or less unexcused absences in the month of October. We are giving everyone a week to get on top of their schedules and create the habit of communicating with coaches if they are not able to make practice. Practice logs will dictate attendance here, so please fill them out before you leave for the day.

    **Athletes must communicate an excused absence to a coach by 3:15pm for it to be counted as excused**

    Excused absences include:

    1. Another Sport Practice if communicated and approved by coaches: We excuse this because this allows runners to stay in shape and enjoy other forms of fitness building athletic activity.

    2. Sickness/Injury/Fatigue/Soreness: Health is the biggest priority but is is important that everyone communicates any issues with coaches. If you are healthy enough to go to school, you are expected to report to practice to check in with a coach for further instructions. The instructions, will likely be to go home and rest or do stretch/use rollers/cross train

    3. Academics: We understand that everyone is a student athlete and we value/understand the importance of academics. Tutoring, taking an exam, etc will be excused if this is communicated to a coach. Please have a teacher get in contact with us or bring a note to practice for this.

    **Since most of the Coaching staff is new to Yorktown, we understand that there may be some other things that may be warranted as excused. We are happy to discuss on a case by case basis**

    Announcements Week of 9/17

    Inclement Weather Plan: If outside practice is ever canceled due to weather, please plan to meet in the atrium. We will have an alternate practice plan from there. This is very likely for today(9/17) and tomorrow (9/18)

    Thursday Meet: The meet will be delayed until 6pm on Thursday. We will load up the buses @ 4:20pm and we will be on the road by 4:30pm. Same location(Lake Fairfax Park), boys race @ 6pm, girls race @ 6:30. Groups 4-10 will be entered into this race. Please let us know if you cannot make it.

    "Office Hours": Our goal is to help everyone learn as much as possible about the sport this season. However, since we have a large team and a mostly new coaching staff, it can become difficult to learn individually. For anyone that has any specific questions I will be at the track from when school lets out(3:01pm) for as long as needed after practice on most days. 

    If it is something urgent, please email me to set up something so I can be prepared or let you know if I cannot be there for some reason. Otherwise, please feel free to seek out any of your coaches that are around and ask any specific questions you may have before or after practice. 

    We want to set up the type of environment that you will see after high school, similar to "office hours" in most college settings. If you have questions, concerns, or just simply want to improve a skill; it is up to you to seek out assistance. 

    This open invitation to meet, stands for parents as well and can be done over the phone to better fit work schedules. 

    Ropes/Rollers: Ropes for our stretching routine and PVC pipe rollers will be set up in the warm up area before practice for your benefit. Anyone that has any general or specific soreness is recommended to do some extra rolling/stretching before we begin our warm-up routine.

    Group Warm-Up: Now that we have been able to teach everyone their warm-up routines in smaller settings, we are going to go back to doing warm-up drills as a team before breaking up into groups. 

    **Make sure to read the white board when coming into practice so you know what you will be doing for the day based on your specific group**

    Here are the groups that have been updated after the timed 3200. For those of you that had a much improved effort on the 3200, we recommend that you move up a group or 2 based on the time trial. As always, if anyone feels they should move up or down a group for any other reason, please let one of the coaches know.

    Girls Group 2: 6:15-6:45 on timed mile, or 14:15 or under timed 3200

    Boys Group 4: 6:00-6:20 on timed mile or 13:45 or under on timed 3200

    Group 5: 6:45-7:15 on timed mile or 16:00 or under on timed 3200

    Group 6: 7:20-7:45 on timed mile or 17:00 or under on timed 3200

    Important update For Monroe Parker

    The meet has been delayed by 1 hour so the bus will pick everyone up @ 7am tomorrow instead of 6am. I will let everyone know tomorrow AM if the meet is cancelled. Thanks Here is the message from the meet director: Coaches, I sincerely apologize for the late notice, but i was just notified by my administration that due to the potential for early morning thunder and lightning(which has changed in the last hour or so), we will need to delay the start of tomorrow's meet by 1 hour. This was necessitated by a change in forecast over the last couple of hours. The park and i will decide at 5:00 am if we need to cancel. We don't want to, but if the park is flooded and the park/fire and FCPS administrators make the decision that it would be too dangerous to compete then the call will be made at that time. As a result, the schedule will be updated as below (this will also be updated on milestat) 9:00 freshman boys - Max is 15 9:30 freshman girls - Max is 15 10:00 Varsity Boys Race - Max is 10 10:30 Varsity Girls Race - Max is 10 11:00 JV Girls Race 1 - Max is 15 11:30 JV Girls Race 2 - Max is 15 12:00 JV Boys Race 1 - Max is 15 12:30 JV Boys Race 2 - Max is 15 Again, i apologize for the late notice, please contact me if you have any questions.

    Important XC Announcements 8/31

    We have a good amount of announcements for the upcoming week. I am going to use individual email addresses and Yorktown Sports but we will slowly transition into just emails, which is why Coach Robertson is gathering email addresses at practices. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.
     
    Optional Saturday Practice: There will be an optional practice for groups 1-3 at the C/O Canal. Parking/meet-up point @ N. Randolph Street and N. Randolph Court Arlington, Va 22207. Everyone in groups 4-10 is encouraged to run on their own.Please see the previous training email to see what the recommended paces and amount of running should be.
     
    Team lunch Monday: September 3rd from 12 to 2pm.  Address is 4513 N 40th Street. Please reach out to Margie (Charlie and Carrie Finn’s Mom) with any questions. Her email is: stvmargie@aol.com. Thanks.
     
    Optional Monday Practice/Parents Meeting: Before the lunch we will have a practice and annual parents meeting. Monday practice and parents meeting @ 10am. Our goal for the parents meeting to briefly introduce the coaching staff and ask any important questions that you may have. We have a very new coaching staff and we believe that feedback from the parents is vital in maintaining a successful program.
     
    First Meet(9/8): Our first meet will be the Monroe Parker Invite, next Saturday Sept 8.More information to follow there. It is an invite only meet, so not everyone will be running. We will decide who will compete based upon practices and the initial timed mile that we used to test everyone's fitness. We will send out more information about the meet early next week.
     
    Tent: Morgan Daily's and Mary Withycombe's families were generous enough to purchase a tent for the XC to use at meets. If anyone would like to donate $5-$10 that would be greatly appreciated. Donations can be given to Morgan Daily or any of the coaches at practice. 
     
    Uniforms/Purchasing Shorts: Starting next week, those of you who do not have team uniforms should go to Coach Robertson’s room after 8th period (Room 355) to pick one up. You may also stop by during 4th period if you have lunch during that time. 
     
    Uniforms will be issued to athletes. However, anyone that would like to purchase their own uniform bottoms, here is a link to where athletes purchased them last year. 
     
     
    Spike Night(9/5): There will be a Spike Night @ Pacers Clarendon from 6-8pm. As many of you know the Pacers Owner is a Yorktown Alum and he is going to the off our team a "10% donation back to the program for the hours your kids are in the store buying spikes (for example if we say the kids will be in the store from 6-8pm buying stuff and their total sales of shoes, apparel, and spikes is $2,000 we would write you a check to Yorktown XC for $200)" . Pacers also validates parking with a purchase of $50 or more. Simply park in the Trader Joe’s garage, bring your parking ticket in the store with you, and present it with your purchase.
     
     
    After School Practice Times:
     
    Now that summer practices have ended, starting next week we are going to be practicing as one team at 3:30PM on the track.
     
    *Unless you are an athlete coming from another school other than Yorktown for practice (Middle School, HB, etc.), do NOT bring your backpack to practice. Make sure to find alternate arrangements, i.e., your locker.
