Head cross country coach Kevin Alessandro has reason for optimism as he guides the Golden Eagle program into the 2012 season.

I have been and ran in a lot of cross country meets in my life, but this past Saturday takes the cake as far as hot goes.  It was nearly unbearable at 9am when the Varsity Boys Race started in Madisonville on Saturday.  The same held true across the state as individual races were cancelled at Madisonville, Shelby County, and the Ryle Invitational’s.    Last week I meant to mention a couple performances -          Sye Head (Logan County) is the top KY runner at the KY-IN Border Clash -          Nicholas Waltman (Sayre) is going to make Jacob Thomson work a little harder than first expected in November Below are some observations from Week 2

Kentucky action at the Memphis Twilight Classic.

  The Class AAA Boys competition is always the most fierce individual and team battle in November and 2011 looks to be another year of the same.  Last year at the 2010 championship, fans saw the best head to head dual over the last 10 years with Daviess County’s Evan Ehrenheim and Trinity’s Jacob Wildenmann running side by side for three miles with Ehrenheim then pulling away to win.  Wildenmann’s second place finish helped lead Trinity to an upset victory which was their 18th state title in school history.  That win gave Trinity the record for the most state team titles in Kentucky history.   

Butler Coach Brandon Lesher did his own version of Workout Wednesday yesterday with Tretez Kinnaird, Patrick Gregory, Allen Matthews, and Rashaun Langdon from his team and spring break guest Class A 1600m Champ Jacob Thomson of Holy Cross.  Nice work by the boys on this one.     3 sets of 2 X 400m/4 X 200m 1 minute recovery in between intervals and 4 minute recovery in between sets.

Track season is back and the first big meet of the year was on Saturday in Lexington.  Below you will find Week 2 of the KYtrackXC.com Athletes of the Week.  There were no middle schools meets this week, so there are only High School and College Awards.  Any former Kentucky high school track athlete is eligible for the weekly college award regardless of whether or not the school is located in Kentucky.
