The 2009 season is off and running! It was nice to get out of the practice routine and compete in a meet. As usual, the runners were anxious and excited to see how they stack up against area competition, and to find out if they made the most of their off-season and pre-season workouts.
It was a great day to run! The weather was not ideal this year, with temperatures in the 80s and high humiditys. Weve had worse conditions to run in at Clearwater, so no complaints.This meet does not keep team totals, and allows the runners to choose between two races. The high school girls had to choose between a two mile and a 4K, the high school boys had to decide between a two mile and 5K race. Competition was good! Several of the top high school runners in the state attended

Overall, I was extremely pleased with the efforts of our runners. We did have two middle school runners win their races. Everyone had been working hard in preparation for this meet, and seemed mentally focused during the races. After a meet you get an idea of where you stand in comparison to other area runners, and as a whole, we arent satisfied at where we are. We challenge the runners to use this meet as motivation for improving next week on their times. Effort in practice and mental toughness are the two areas which the runners can really control that will impact how they run.

These events go back to 1955 when Columbia Pictures filmed PICNIC in Riverside Park. I had a recent visit with Cliff Robertson, Co-Star of the Academy Award Movie. Mr Roberson, now 86 remembers Halstead, Riverside Park and the wonderful people. "They are great people in Halstead, they were so kind and friendly, I will always remember the many friends I made, said Mr. Robertson. The Halstead Historical Society has continued the same fun those Stars had Eating Pie and Tossing the Rings. Come enjoy the fun! Craig Sooter
