onto the post-season

Below are general schedules for varying groups.  If you have any questions, contact the coaches.  Continue taking your iron!  AND MAKE SURE YOU TEXT OR POST TO THE BLOG COMMENTS SECTION YOUR WEEKLY MILEAGE, BEGINNING WITH THE MILEAGE FOR LAST WEEK.

Some quick personal comments.  As coaches we recognize the hard work all of you put in, and we continue to be impressed by the depth of performances coming from our group.  It's been a great year, and it's been fun.  Mostly though, we are humbled by the passion and commitment you all display.  With the season ending for most, many of you have reached out to us with texts, emails, and notes.  Two comments really stood out.  First, a graduating senior wrote that being on the team was a big part of her being able to make it through Tech.  And second, one team member whose summer break had just begun, ended her text with "August can't come soon enough!"  What a great tribute to our program with both of those sentiments.  All of us have been a part of creating the culture of our team, and all of us are responsible for perpetuating it!
