Another Season Ends
October 14, 2012
Yorkville Middle School was one of only 5 schools to place in the top ten for girls and boys for 3A Cross Country yesterday. Seeing as last year our boys team didn't make it and two years ago was the first time we ever made State the program has come a long way in a short period of time. This has to do with the effort put forth by our runners who are willing to run over the winter, dedicate themselves during summer Endurance Camp, and give their best effort during the season. It also has to do with recruiting and the more our runners talk up the sport the more likely we are going to get new runners to join the team. While we might have still been a top 10 girls team without Alexis and Dominque, they certainly made our team a lot stronger by joining for the first time as 8th graders. Everyone needs to be constantly talking up the team so we can keep getting good runners to join.
Right now everyone should be taking some time off to relax after the season. A week or more should be spent without any running. Coach Miller will be putting together an off-season workout plan that runners can follow if they want to prepare for track or for the next cross country season.
Coach Miller will also begin meeting with runners during advisory in two weeks. If you signed up during uniform turn-in then you are on the last. Coach Miller will talk to you about how your season went and what your goals are for next season, whether it is as an 8th graders or as a freshman on the high school team. If you didn't get a chance to sign up at uniform turn-in you can send Coach Miller an email or post here.
Congratulations to everyone on our most successful season ever!

Darien are you running track???????
Darien on October 17, 2012
Thanks guys for the best season i ever had. I may have improved the most because you guys supported me! Being honest the whole diet in 7th grade i thought we HAD to i didnt eat any junk food. This year was amazing who thought that i could improve so much? I never have done any sort of sports as a child or anything! You should have me as an example of improving and working hard because i did ALOT! :)

i always love all of these happy and sad and motivational posts at the end of the season like julia's and becca's (and gianna's last year) :) i love our team so much and i cant wait to join the highschool xc team next year <333
Becca on October 15, 2012
I just wanted to say, you guys had an amazing season. i know some people were nervous about how solid your top 7 would be this year. honestly, it was more solid than ours last year or the year before. you guys did great and im proud of each one of you guys, even if you dont know me. Even if you didnt go to state, you still improved better than how you started. and thats the best award you can get! i dont know many people (outside of xc) that can go run 2 miles straight under the times you guys are getting. thats awesome! i hope you guys had fun and i cant wait until next year when you guys or some of you guys are on the team next year! dont get down about the season, it gives you something to look forward to. just keep running with your friends around winter and be careful and you guys will see (most) of eachother in track! or endurance camp!! <3333

Julia Megazzini on October 14, 2012
I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the most amazing two seasons of cross country. Thank you to the best coaches. Thank you to the amazing runners I met along the way. Thank you for making me love running even though I don't always want to. Thank you for allowing me to go to State. Thank you for all the encouragement I've gotten. Thank you for showing me that you dont have to be the best runner out there as long as you just try your best. Thank you for showing me what hard work and determination can do. Thank you for making this sport my favorite thing. Thank you for making this something I will never forget. Thank you for introducing me to the best thing of my middle school years. I'm truly going to miss it. Good luck to everyone. I'll miss you all. <3
