Great end to the season with a new school record for Billy!  NCAA's is an amazing competition.  This year was exceptional.  Beyond the performances, two social media posts struck me, and are shared below.

This was the race plan posted by the men's steeplechase champion.  Written out earlier in the day, he executed it perfectly.  Putting pen to paper about what you want and plan to do is powerful.

This post was from a high school coach from Texas who was in Eugene to watch the meet.  Here he is taking a selfie at 7:00am on Saturday morning on the trails with freshman Jonathan Sims, who anchored Georgia to the 4 x 400m championship with a huge come-from-behind split of 42.99.  Less than twelve hours later at 7:00am, not only is Jonathan up, he is out hiking trails.  I don't know him, but he seems like someone who is dialed in on who he is and what he wants to achieve.  I hope that describes you and everyone on our team.

Week 3 of summer running.  Just easy, 60-65%, runs for this week.  Next week we'll add one Aerobic Threshold run.  With the annual volume spreadsheets sent out, this week will add strength & conditioning sessions of Tue & Fri.  Do not overdo these sessions... start easy and progress from there.  On Thursday, be intentional about 6-8 x 60-80m hill sprints.
