POST SEASON RUNNING

All,
Just wanted to let everyone know that there are opportunities to let the kids continue to run after the school CC season is over. Two of the local running clubs that have sent me info are the Liberty Running Club, coached by the NOMS coach Mark Levdahl, and the Kentucky Stampede, coached by Leigh Lynch and Jeff Webb. Below are the info they sent to me. Let me know if you have questions about either.
LIBERTY RUNNING CLUB
Coaches:
I plan on having the Liberty Running Club going again for post season racing. The post season is much shorter than in past years though. We will race on 11/14 at the AAU district meet (probably at Tom Sawyer but it will be in the Lousiville area) and then the CCCYNC National Championship meet at Masterson Station on 11/20.
For those of you not familar with post season racing: we no longer race as a school team but gather other kids from the local area and compete as a club team in age groups. There are at least three other clubs in the Lousiville area that will do the same, Derby City, West Side and Kentucky Stampede and I hold nothing against anyone who wants to compete for any of those teams, they are all good. I will give you contact info for each if you wish. Derby City will go to AAU Nationals while I suspect the other two will join us in Lexington. I can even get you in contact with the team from Northern KY if your kids want to go to USATF Nationals.
There are three "National Championships" that will occur during November and December, AAU, USATF and CCCYNC. AAU Nationals are in Orlando, USATF Nationals are in Alabama and CCCYNC are in Lexington, KY this year. I chose CCCYNC because it is the closest. All three offer top flight competition and are roughly the same size.
We will practice roughly three days a week for those remaining three weeks, more details to follow.
Anyone, regardless of ability, is welcome to join us, but the level of competition is another step tougher when we go to Nationals. If your runners are still pumped about Cross Country, don't mind running with faster kids and finishing further back at races then they are welcome to join us.
I already have commitments from runners at several schools.
This is open to runners from 6 years old through 18, although our team will be primarily 8-14 year olds.
Please pass this along to your families.
Thanks
Mark Levdahl
