Nike Team Regionals

Darts,
We are back from an incredible trip to Phoenix for the Nike Team Regionals race against the best teams from Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming. Although we will miss the traditional trip to Footlocker, this was still a fun and productive trip. One thing is for sure, our TEAM knows how to have fun and how to race fast. I was impressed by all of the PRs and by the way that our kids handled themselves on the trip. I only had to yell at them a few times. (Thanks to the bus driver for doing some yelling for me).
It felt to me like we were on the bus for a long amount of time over the last 4 days, but I definitely feel it was worth it. The highlight of the meet was the girls taking 2nd in the championship race (all 6 that finished had prs) and qualifying for the Nike Team Nationals which will be in Portland on Dec 1st. We will be traveling up to Portland, sponsored by Nike, to take on the best competition in the U.S. (22 teams qualify). For more information about the race you can go to http://dyestat.com//?pg=nikentn
All of the hard work has paid off, and this will be a wonderful opportunity for our top 8 girls to represent the Davis XC Program.
A huge thanks goes out to the parents that were able to come on the bus (Steve Petty, Dave King, Allison Stromberg, and Tammi Prince) and those parents that flew or drove down to support the team - we really had some tremendous support. Also thanks to Coach Buhrley and Brad Anderson for their help and support on the trip. It was great to have Coach Buhrley and a few of the Syracuse Titans along with us.

Coming up:
- The boys are going to begin our break (the next 2 weeks will have limited running).
- The girls traveling to Portland will continue to train for the next 2 weeks. The rest of the girls team will have 2 options - continue to train with those running in Portland and then take a break the 1st 2 weeks of December, or begin the break at this point.
- During the break or rest period you should still remain active, but your bodies need an opportunity to recover after the long season. Enjoy Thanksgiving, get a lot of rest, think very little about running, and be ready to feel refreshed and ready once indoor track comes along. Plan on still getting some decent training in December and January (the "off-season" is a great time to re-build your base, and start to get ready for track).
- The indoor track meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 11th.

Thanks so much for making the trip memorable and for allowing me to share in the experience with you all. This year has been incredible because you have all put so much heart into running and more importantly into being part of this TEAM. Each one of you add to the greatness we possess as a whole. The girls qualifying for nationals represents more than just those 8 girls. It represents the sacrifice and dedication and togetherness of you all. Thanks to each of you for the parts you played in making this season so successful,
Coach Talley
