Track Meet!

by

Track '11This past Saturday the ICSV track team woke up at the crack of dawn, traveled to school, and promptly fell back asleep as we drove 3 hours to Budapest for first and only track meet this season.

I couldn’t be any prouder of how this team competed on Saturday. Though we only took 10 athletes to the meet, we managed to pull out 3rd place (out of 5 teams). And we had a lot of fun doing it!

Here is our medal breakdown:

Gold: Boys Shot Put, Boys Discus, Boys 400M Hurdles
Silver: Girls 4X100
Bronze: Girls Long Jump

We also had several close 4th place finishes and plenty of personal bests. This team is such a pleasure to coach and a lot of fun to be around. I can’t wait til next year!

More pictures to come. Stay tuned!

Cross Country Team Running Strong

The Team
What started off as a 2 man operation with a 1-1 coach to athlete ratio now has 3 girls eager to join the fun. One even ran our 5k on Saturday despite joining the team Thursday afternoon!

It was a beautiful afternoon for running and the team ran really well. They ran so well in fact that all three of them won trophies for finishing 2nd in their respective age groups!

Please pray for the team as we have another race next weekend. Stay tuned for more news…and hopefully more trophies!

VCS Cross Country Season Recap

by

Cross Country

For the first time in 8 years Vienna Christian School fielded a Cross Country Team. The team consisted of only one boy and one girl, but we had a lot of fun and I’m really proud of how they improved over the course of the season.

We weren’t able to run against other schools, so we ran in small races in and around Vienna. The races ranged in length from 4K-6K, and they ran well from the start.

They each placed first in their age group at our first race and never looked back.

I think one of my runners sums up the season quite well:

“Thank you for coaching our cross country team! Even though our team was tiny, we accomplished a lot (with our trophies and medals :))…I enjoyed my last cross country season in high school.”

Join The Track!

VCS Track Meet - Crop Track season began today and I’ve gotten a lot of help recruiting team members from my favorite Korean runner. She’s also my only Korean runner, but that’s besides the point…

“Join the track!” she says to everyone she comes in contact with. I’m looking forward to having a lot of fun this season, and she is determined to make sure there is a team to enjoy.

Please keep the track team in your prayers this spring as we start getting into shape and preparing for track meets.
