Athletes and Families, as we near the final week of our COVID season, which is actually an overlap with the 1st week of track :), I want you to know that I do not take the joy of being a part of this team for granted. This year, more than ever, I look forward to our time together each and every day. I love watching you run; I am proud of you when you carefully make your way through an injury and run your first race. I am proud of you when I have watched you grow into the accomplished athlete and individual of integrity over 4 years. I am proud of you when you are in tears because you did not finish a race, or you do or don't puke. I am proud of you when you wear your masks without complaint. I am proud of you when you cheer for all of your team mates. You see, what we do as distance runners, it is not easy. It is actually really hard. So, now you know, you can do hard things.
In case you don't know, I also love to take pictures to capture our season. You can find this year's gallery as well as past years here on this site. https://www.sunsettrack.com/xc-photos
Lots of Love,
Coach Rozendaal
