You girls have worked very hard to get this far. I'm very proud of each one of you.

Get an early jump in the beginning of the race, settle in the middle to front of the pack, pass each runner gradually during the race with a big "kick" in the final stretch of the race.

You will run better if you stay relaxed, enjoy the race and give it all you've got.


The girls ended up qualifing for the Regional I meet in Saratoga Springs N.Y. . They qualified as individuals and as a team. "Go Baillie, Danielle, Jackie, Ashley, and Samantha" "Go Burrillville", R.I. Thanks, Coach (Mary)


Just Into the Girls' Race



KidsRunning.Com watched Coach Mary deliver her pep talk and invited her to share it with us. It was positive, upbeat, and to the point.

Thanks Coach Mary and congratulations to all the kids who participated in the Junior Olympics this year.

Coaches, we'd love to have a copy of your favorite "PeP Talk". Please share with KidsRunning.Com and help make the team experience better for our running kids.
