Comments
The goal I had coming into the meet was:
Grade 
1. Have fun A+
The race plan was to have fun and I certainly thought we did that.  It was fun to win
our first ever All Ohio Championships (and to have Beata join Bobbie Hardbarger as our
only two female individual champions).  I know the race is tough when you're running
it, but I'm sure it was fun to be passing on the uphills and rolling past people on the 
downhills (even though I didn't emphasize that last week).  It was fun for me to watch
a team run with poise and increased confidence and to see your smiles in the corral 
after the race.  It was also fun to see the runners in the open race work together and
compete well.  There are some valuable lessons that we can take away from this meet
and use to continue to get better.  For example, in some cases we were slightly too 
conservative in the first mile and then worked slightly too hard in the second mile and
consequently were unable to sustain our momentum into the finish (Morgan's second
mile was the 4th fastest in the race).
