Low ferritin can ruin a season.

The athletes most affected are often your hardest workers, the ones doing everything you ask. When results decline, many assume the solution is more work. Sometimes that’s exactly what makes things worse. Not every struggling runner has a training problem.

At Los Alamos, we educate parents and athletes about ferritin early. Here’s a slide we share with our families.

Let me add my voice to the choir: Rest in Peace, Mike Newman. No one did more to promote the sports of Cross Country and Track in the state of Illinois. One tweet is insufficient to express my gratitude, so here is a longer tribute: https://t.co/pzV5uGpQYo

@Siemers_XC_TF That's a great idea! Does it push out right after practice? We've been using a website to record workouts.

[🏆 Edwardsville Boys T|F 🏆 @TrackEHS]

Referring to bullet 3 from the IHSA TF Rules Interpretation Presentation👇🏼: Why is the number of assistant coaches limited to 4? I’m curious who decided that number and why hasn’t it been adjusted in 20+ years. What about those teams that exceed 4 assistant coaches?

Since before we were married, Megan supported my dream of helping to build a high school XC team into a contender, something that would not have been possible otherwise. Now, I get to support her dream, which bloomed fully today with the grand opening of https://t.co/x3NF8KEJQ6

Here’s an amazing stat I just learned: Lane has around 230 boys and girls out for cross country. What a testament to Kris Roof and his staff to keep all those kids engaged and active in a sport they can do the rest of their lives.
