Join us at The Running Center on Monday, June 1 at 6:30 PM for our first practice of the summer!  We will meet at The Running Center every Monday this summer to hear a 30 minute talk from an expert on a designated topic, followed by a group run through Carrollwood Village — a complete list of speakers and topics can be found here.

Hope to see you out there, and remember to email Coach Don (harriersxc@gmail.com) if you have any questions…

The 2015 track season ended where it started: Gainesville, Florida.  The weather was definitely quite different, though!  Yikes, is it getting hot…

Thanks to the Gainesville Striders for putting on such a well-organized meet, and congrats to the Harriers, who picked up plenty of medals in the 3000 and 1500!

Two weeks off, then it’s time to start summer base training!  See you on June 1 at The Running Center….

The Harriers first State Track & Field Championship was a huge success!  We scored points as a club team in both the boys and girls divisions of the 3000 meter race and 4 x 800 relay.  And our elementary kids put up some fast times in the 100, 400 and 800!

Next week is the last meet of the season.  You know what that means… Only three weeks until XC season!

Special thanks to Coach Dan Epstein for putting on a great Regional meet!  Everyone ran great on a fast track (remember asphalt tracks?), several Harriers booked their trip to the FLYRA State Championship on May 9, and the boys won the team trophy.  And it was done by lunch!

No meet this week — State Championship in fourteen days…

Thanks to the coaches and parents of RFC/Matrix for putting on a great meet on Saturday.  They were even nice enough to move all of the distance races to the first part of the schedule — we’ve never gotten home so early!  And the Harriers didn’t do too bad either….

Next week:  Nature Coast

The Harriers posted some fast times in the “heat sink” that is the NTC track complex this past Saturday!  Congrats to all the medal winners, and thanks to Pure Athletics for putting on one of the best meets we’ve ever attended…

Next week:  Kissimmee

Thanks to V12 Athletics for putting on a great meet this past Saturday.  Seven Harriers made the trip to Jacksonville on Easter weekend, and every one of them won two medals.  We even set some meet records!

Next week: The Harriers invade the National Training Center…

The 2015 track season kicked off with a beautiful day and fast times!  Many kids impressed in the first-ever track meet, and some kids qualified for the year-end FLYRA Middle School State Championships.  Over a dozen PRs and nine medals — pretty good for an opening meet!

Next week:  A field trip to the Florida Relays, and a weekend meet in Jacksonville…
