SAT Test Dates!

Today's post is of primary concern to Seniors and perhaps a Junior or two:

Traditionally, LBHS has hosted an SAT test date on the first Saturday in October -- in this case, Oct. 5th, 2019.

Traditionally, that has also conflicted with the Leavenworth XC meet -- and it is of course always fine to miss a meet for something like college preparatory exams.

That being said, because of the later State meet race date, this year's SAT conflicts with the extra fun and always exciting TWILIGHT meet in Marysville.

For that reason (and thinking that it may benefit a number of other LBHS fall athletes as well) we have asked the school to host a second SAT test date on the slightly later November 2nd... and it looks like they are!

Our District meet will be several days earlier, and this will be a Saturday with no competition right before the week of State. With that in mind, the 2019 SAT testing dates at LBHS are:

Saturday 10.5.19 (register by 9.6.19) and,
Saturday 11.2.19 (register by 10.3.19)

Happy summer :)

GRRR!

Summer XC Week #4 -- and the race schedules coming together!


MMM! Chocolate PowerBar
The workouts are updated in the page tabs above, and on the right sidebar you can see our Athletic.net race calendars for both High School and Junior High. Both schedules are still  a work in progress but they are getting close. New for HS this year will be the NIKE Hole in the Wall race on the weekend after Twilight. Because of a late State meet, the shift in meet schedules means that Twilight and Leavenworth are on the same weekend. There will also be two open weekends with an expected Saturday practice but no lengthy travel to a meet. Still plenty of racing, but we can get in a few more quality workouts and get a little more sleep :)

Hope that summer is running along nicely. We'll see you out there!

Mountain Goat at Cutthroat. A little on the shaggy side. Kinda makes me wonder if he was an import from Olympic National Park... or maybe they just get shaggy this time of year. Speaking Mt. Goats, a great band too!

The standard "jumping in the mountains" pose. Somewhere on the snow at Cutthroat Pass. Long live summer running!
