Week 2 Update


Fern Creek Cross Country 2018 Week 2 Update

Week 2 has been a long and tiring week for the boys and girls of Fern Creek Cross Country.  With the weather at ridiculously warm levels, practices have been tougher than either the athletes or their coach expected.  The team will have an easy practice this afternoon to help get them ready for Saturday’s Meet.


Central KY Run for the Gold – 9/1/2018
Elizabethtown Sports Park
1401 West Park Road, Elizabethtown, KY 42701

Bus Leaves = 4:45pm
Boys JV = 7:15
Girls JV = 8:00
Boys Varsity = 8:45
Bus Returns = 10:30pm (aprox)

Weather: Low 80s, humid, scattered rain.
Awards: Varsity: Top-10 in Varsity, Top-3 JV

Focus Points:
  • Even though this is not an early race, you should catch up on sleep Friday evening – it’s been a long week.  If you go to the football game do not stand up the entire game (this kills your legs).
  • Be smart about food and hydration.
  • Pay attention to details (walking the course, warmup, cooldown).
  • Focus on 1-2 things that you want to do better at this race than at Tiger Run.
  • You are stronger than you think!  It is going to hurt, but you can push through it!

FC Entries:
Boys Varsity = Zach, Hayden, Youhana, Jimmy, Dawayad, Justin, Weston, Sam, Greg
Boys JV = Carter, Bul, Joseph, Dain, Jayden, Levi, Ethan, Jackson
Girls JV = Jekayla, Trishna, Kaci, Luisa, Tayona, Diana, Macie, Karuna

We haven’t run this race in four years so this will be a new experience for the kids.  Let’s show out and represent our school with class to some teams that we don’t normally see.
