Great job racers!
Right now the weather is calling for 73-77 degrees during race time on Saturday! Let's hope the meteorologists are close to being right!
Looking forward to having everyone at Detweiller! Let's go!

Got to visit the new Dunlap Athletic Fieldhouse. What a fantastic facility. Congrats to the Dunlap district for investing in athletics!
Richard Spring Invitational on Sat... NO TENTS near the SE corner of the course (behind starting line turns left to head down the hill along Galena Rd). This is reserved for Ambulance/EMT access to the course. Otherwise, keep a respectful distance from the actual course route.
Less than two weeks until @RichardSpringCC! Hopefully the course is still in OK shape after FTTF this weekend!
Let's go runners!

How well is YOUR team's training going for Detweiller, on Sept 19th? We've got great expectations for excellent weather. 😀
(It's Central Illinois September weather, so of course it will be great for distance running!)

They don’t give All-Conference or All-State honors for impressive Strava accounts.
They don’t give team trophies in October and November based on preseason polls in August.
Tune out the noise and do it on the day.

Let me make a small prediction about where high school coaching is headed:
Coaches who rely ONLY on instinct are going to feel like Blockbuster in the Netflix era.
And coaches who rely ONLY on data are going to feel like they’re coaching inside an Excel spreadsheet with no windows.
The magic is in the merge.
Your instinct says:
“Something feels off today.”
The data says:
“Yeah… fatigue 8/10, split range wide, slept 5 hours.”
Together they say:
“Let’s adjust before this turns into a three-week injury spiral.”
That’s the future.
Not guessing.
Not overthinking.
Just aligned coaching where numbers sharpen your instincts instead of replacing them.
Think of it like this:
Instinct is the steering wheel.
Data is the headlights.
Try driving without either.
