2021 XC Season Announcements

RunningLane National XC Championships

We had a great trip to Fresno for the State Championships and all runners, running and not running, conducted themselves well. All runners gave their all on the course and we have lessons we have learned to help us going into Winter Training, Spring Track, and again next Fall in XC.

Check the Tab above for the rosters of selected runners. Coach Draughon is happy to have discussions with runners about why they were or were not selected, but those conversations should be between the runner and Coach Draughon, not parents.

CA State Meet - November 27th!

Check the CA State Meet Tab above for all important information. All Top 16 runners should be in the GOHS front paring lot at 6:45 AM Friday morning, November 26th. Check the packing list, etc, to make sure runners are completely ready.

Alabama XC Nationals Teams will be announced after the State Meet, prior to boarding the bus to return to Temecula.

CIF Finals - November 20th!

Check the CIF Tab above for the flyer with information about CIF Finals! We are excited to run!

All runners will be in matching uniforms for Saturday's Finals.

Runners for Finals were announced at practice on 11/15. Here are the runners rostered to run Finals. Annoucements about the roster for the State Meet will wait until we do our job at Finals.

Boys running Finals (alpha order): Mark, Ramses, Austin, Gabe, Cameron S, Carson, Brandon - Nick will be the first runner to take someone's place in case of injury or other need.

Girls running Finals (alpha order): Aishling, Kelli, Cailin, Ameya, Divine, Devlyn, Joelle - Hannah will be the first runner to take someone's place in case of injury or other need.

runninglane national championships in alabama

Our trip to Alabama for the RunningLane National XC Championships has been approved! Coach Draughon and Coach Corey will start working on the details for the trip. Athletes for this trip will not be finalized until after the State Meet.

CIF Update

A parent flyer has been added to the Tab above for the CIF Prelims Meet this Saturday.

CIF Update

An email update was sent to all CIF Team athletes' parents tonight. Saturday we run Prelims at Mt. SAC and hope all GOHS XC Families will be following the progress of the CIF Teams!

Ticket and other info can be found in the Tab above.

post-season athletes selected

See the tab above for more information about the selection process and the list of selected athletes. Coach Draughon is the only coach who should be contacted about the selection process and that communication must be via email. No phone calls or texts will be used for communication from the coach about the subject.

Runners are encouraged to see Coach Draughon if they have any questions about the process. Selected athletes should report to the practice field at normal time this afternoon.

XC Season Banquet

We will have a banquet to celebrate the accomplishment of the team and individual runners on either December 10th or December 11th. Please mark those tentative dates on your calendar as we work to solidify plans. This will be a nice event with the purpose of recognition and celebration! All Parents and Runners should plan to attend.

XC Uniform return

Once runners begin their rest period and will not be racing any longer, they need to WASH and return their uniforms to Mrs. Jordan in the PE office where they picked them up. Uniforms that are not returned will result in a charge on a student's school account. Any runners not in the Top 16 should return their clean uniforms to Mrs. Jordan by Monday, November 8th.

post season running schedule

Winter Training will begin on Tuesday, December 7th. The cost will be $150 per runner and an email will be sent about schedule and other information. No Saturday practices during Winter Training!

Tuesday, 11/9, is the next school board meeting. Our trip to the RuningLane National Championships will be approved or denied at this meeting.

CIF Competition: We will meet at 2:45 on Thursday afternoon to announce the Top 16 Girls and Top 16 Boys who will continue training through the CA State Meet. Anyone not selected for the Top 16 will then be released to go home and begin their 2 week break.

Runners selected as the Top 16 will all travel to the Prelims, Finals, and State Meet, but not all runners will have the opportunity to run. Runners will be selected by Coach Draughon for each of the 3 races. If any Top 16 runner misses practices, Coach Draughon may choose to drop them from the Top 16 list. Only committed runners will travel. 11/13 and 11/20 the bus will leave school in the morning and return after the races. We will stop on the way back for lunch on each of these trips. Runners are expected to go with the team on the bus and return on the bus.

11/26 -11/27 is the trip to the CA State Meet. Runners who have been committed to training in the Top 16 will go on this overnight trip. There is no cost other than personal food costs. We will leave Friday morning and return late Saturday. The race is in Fresno, so the timing of the trip will be very similar to the Clovis Meet and we will be staying in the same hotel we used for that Meet. After the State Meet, all Top 16 runners will begin their 2 week rest except those who are chosen as the Top 7 Girls and Top 7 Boys to attend the RunningLane National Championships in Alabama and any other runners who are running Footlocker.

12/2-12/5 is the trip to compete at the RunningLane National Championships in Alabama. The Top 7 Girls and Top 7 Boys will be attending this Meet. Those runners are decided by Coach Draughon. Footlocker happens on 12/4 (same day as Alabama Meet), so the runners committed to Footlocker will continue to train with the Top 7 until they leave for Alabama.

important bus info for league finals

We will have 2 buses leaving school at 11:45 to go to League Finals. We will only have one returning, so please plan acoordingly. If you have any questions, please contact Coach Draughon.

Change to League Finals Schedule

Please find the schedule in the Tab information above. Race start times have been slightly delayed after the initial Novice Race.

Everyone (Runners and Parents) should attend the meeting at the end of the Meet. If we do not have time to do it before Awards, we will hold it immediately afterward.

We also need to make sure we get pictures of all grade levels.

11/1-11/5

The tab above for League Finals shows the Roster for both teams along with information about getting to Galway Downs and the map of the course . The following Runners are being rested or are injured or not running (Please let me know ASAP if anyone on the injured/not running list is actually running the race. ) The rested Runners can be on the bus. Runners on the injured/not running list will not be on the bus, but are encouraged to come support the team after school.

All other information about League Finals is included in the Tab above.

Team Update Email

An email was sent tonight with information on multiple topics. Please contact Coach Draughon with any questions. This week's schedule (10/25-10/30) will be the same schedule. We will have practice each day after school (even if it rains) and we will have Saturday morning practice starting at 7 AM.

mt sac schedule for saturday

Information for the Meet is posted in the tab above. Our first race is at 7:43 AM (Freshmen Boys) and our last race will be at 9:57 AM (Sweepstakes Girls).

ALL runners need to meet in the front school parking lot at 5:00 AM Saturday morning. Buses will pull out by 5:15 AM so we can arrive at Mt SAC by 6:30 AM.

We will NOT be stopping for food on the way home, but we should arrive back at GOHS by about 12:30 PM. Plan individual snacks accordingly.

Any runner who has uniform questions/trouble should handle those with me Monday or Tuesday to make sure they have it sorted by Friday.

Saturday Practice Reminders/Remind threads/Rest of Season

Runners are being given information at practices. It is their responsibility to communicate with parents. I do my best to control communication through email and the website, but runners are ultimately responsible for listening.

Saturday practices have been at 7:00 the last few times they have been held because of light. Runners have been told this and Remind messages have gone out with the information. If you are not on the Remind, please do that. You will save yourself many questions since I send out more info than you really want to know :)

This week, practices are preparing for Mt SAC and ALL runners should be planning to run at the Meet. More info will come out on Monday with definite times. I will post the roster this weekend, but ALL runners are running. EXCEPTION: If your runner did not run the league meet and did not discuss that choice with me ahead of time, they are not automatically running at the Meet. They need to see me on Monday to discuss their commitment to XC.

Buses will leave early Saturday morning for Mt SAC and will return sometime early afternoon. Progress reports go out this week. If a runner is in violation of CIF academic requirements, they will not be running with the team for the remainder of the season, starting October 22nd. I will notify any runners if this is something they need to worry about, but they should already know based on their grades in classes. All runners must be passing at least 4 classes with at least a 2.0 GPA to continue playing sports.

After Mt SAC, we only have one more League Meet - League Finals! That Meet will take place on November 3rd at Galway Downs. After that date, only the top 16 girls and top 16 boys will continue practicing as we prepare for CIF Prelim/Finals/State Meet. All other runners will begin a 2-week rest period on November 4th. More information will be coming about the Winter Track Club training opportunity to help runners continue their running and prepare for Spring Track Season. I am also the Head Distance Coach for Spring Track, so runners will continue the continuity of working with me as they prepare for distance Track events.

Southwestern League Meet Roster for TODAY!

A photo of the roster is posted in the tab above for the Meet, along with a picture of the course map.

Southwestern League Meet wednesday 10/13

Saturday's Clovis Invitational was highly successful! Now on to the League Meet that will help us get to CIF.

Wednesday most of the runners will be running the Meet. I need to post the full roster, but I'm not going to do that until after the race tomorrow. Some of the Varsity Boys and Girls will not be running, so the Varsity roster will look a little different and give some other runners the chance to run Varsity, ALL non-injured runners will be attending the Meet. The Varsity runners who are not racing (because they are being intentionally rested) will be doing their workout from the Meet and supporting the teammates who will be getting the team to CIF.

Any injured runners who are not running will not be taken out of class to travel to the Meet at TVHS. They are welcome to get their own ride to the Meet and come to support the team after school is out, but they are not allowed to miss class to travel to the Meet if they are unable to run.

Wednesday, runners will get out of class at 1:00 to change and then we will leave on the buses at 1:30 to go to TVHS for the Meet. The buses WILL NOT be coming back to GOHS after the Meet, so parents should plan to pick up all runners from TVHS at the end of the Meet. The races at the Meet will be: Novice at 3:30, then JV and Varsity. Novice is decided by previous finishing times. Slower runners run the Novice race. The majority of runners will be running JV and only 7 runners run the Varsity race.

3:20--novice
4:00--JV girls
4:30--JV boys
5:00--Varsity girls: Hannah, Meilani, Devlyn, Lauren, Mitzi, Avery, Maelin
5:30--Varsity boys: Gabriel R, Austin, Cameron K, Jordan M, Logan, Michael R, Troy

So the Meet should conclude by 6:00, but all runners will need to assist with cleanup by the end of the Meet and all runners are expected to run a Cool Down run after they race.

CLOVIS invite parking fee

There is a $5 fee per bus or car for the parking at Woodward Park.

Practice this week is normal Monday through Wednesday. Thursday afternoon we will have a normal practice plus a team meeting for all runners attending Clovis.

Friday, any runner who has 1st Period XC PE will be meeting at the covered lunch tables near my classroom and will be working on assignments from other classes. The team will be leaving at 6:45 AM that morning for Clovis.

An announcment will be made on Monday afternoon about Friday and Saturday practice for all runners not attending Clovis.

Dana Hills Invitational and beach party

We will discuss the details of who is running the meet races at practice, but all runners are invited to participate in the beach party. PSG will need support and help from runners' families.

Upcoming Track Workout opportunities

Runners have been hearing announcements about Track practices starting soon. Those are NOT for distance runners. I am the Distance Coach for Track and we will have a program available for XC runners AFTER the XC season to help them prepare for and transition into Track. All information about the distance Track program will come from me, not from Coach Garcia, who is the head Track Coach. He and I have a great working relationship. He will handle everything EXCEPT the distance program.

Week of 9/6-9/11

Monday's Workout is On Your Own (OYO). Group 1: 8-10 miles total. You can cplit in into 5-6 running miles and then a second, good quality, cross training workout. Group 2: 4-7 miles total. You can split that into 3-4 running miles and then a second, good quality, cross training workout.
Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday will be our tougher practices of the week - so they are the BEST opportunity to challenge yourself and improve your running. Come with a positive mindset ready to work!
Wednesday and Friday will be workouts with less intensity. These workouts are just as crucial to runner development. No junk miles!!

Cool Breeze Invitational snack list

I have added the snack list to the Cool Breeze info above. If a runner will not be attending the meet, I need them to personally tell me today.

Info for Week of 8/30 - including Cool Breeze Invitational

I have put Cool Breeze information in a separate tab above. In that tab, you will have access to the bus and guest parking information, parking costs, the course map, and the race schedule. T-shirts will be avilable for sale and food trucks will also be there. PLEASE READ/PRINT what you need from the above information tab. Athletes who are freshmen and sophomores will mostly be running the freshmen and sophomore races. A few sophomores may be pulled up to Varsity races. Those decisions will need to wait until I have received information about our selection for Seeded Varsity Races.

This week's schedule: Morning class info on Canvas for runners.

Monday - TEAM PICTURES will be at 3:15 at our practice field. Athletes need to bring their uniform to school, but DO NOT wear team uniforms for practice or to school. Runners can change after school. Practice will begin AFTER team pictures, so practice will go longer this day.
Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday - Normal practice days with Thursday also being a team meeting about the race and details for Friday.
Friday - Runners will be leaving school early to attend the Meet. I will post the time here as soon as it is confirmed. They need to get a good night's sleep Thursday night, eat a good breakfast Friday, pack uniform, shoes, and other clothes needed for a long afternoon/evening at the Meet, and pack a good lunch for Friday. Runners should have their rollers and other running accessories also packed for the Meet. Runners are expected to be at the Meet for the entire time and to cheer and support all Great Oak runners in all races. Runners are encouraged to be part of the team and return to GOHS on the bus at the conclusion of the Meet. IF a runner needs to leave, with a parent, at the end of the Meet, then Coach Draughon needs to be contacted and the runner cannot leave until Coach Draughon sees the runner and parent, together, and the parent has signed the Coach's release form. Coach Draughon will not do this until the end of the Meet. Runners who cannot yet run a full 3 miles will not be allowed to compete in a race, but all runners will attend this Meet to support the team and find out why running really is so much fun!

Information about the fall sports night rally

Here is the information about our XC participation in the Fall Rally scheduled for this coming Monday night. The actual rally starts at 7, but you will see teams are asked to come at 6:15.

Senior Captains and the Captains' Council will be the only ones on the field for us that evening, but all XC runners are invited to be in the stands and SIT TOGETHER!
We will be wearing the jerseys we have been giving out since the time trials. It doesn't matter if a runner has red or blue. We will wear a mixture of both colors.
The runners chosen to be in the parade during school that day will come from the Seniors.
Below is the contents of an email to me from WSB.
Parents and family members are invited to attend. The rally should be from 7-8 PM in the stadium.

Good Afternoon,

We would like to still maintain the rally tradition, and attempt to maintain the family theme amongst the sports theme while also compiling a performance/show to keep the audience engaged. Our general outline will be:

Teams & Performers arrive at 6:15PM
Allow all levels of the fall sports teams to be recognized (stand up), then shift the attention towards the coaches and the varsity team to speak and perform their chant, dance, or performance. (performance must be appropriate and not something that will embarrass the Great Oak name)
If you have a specific song/mix to be played, please let us know ahead of time!
Please inform team members to attend in their uniforms for the rally. You guys will have 4 minutes in total for whatever school-appropriate presentation/speech you have prepared.
Have games and performances in between our sport introductions.
Conclude the event and thank everyone

On the day of the Fall Night Rally (Monday August 23rd), we intend to have a drumline parade through the school with the fall teams and performers following behind. Please choose 5 athletes to represent the team and advertise the Fall Night Rally for the student body. Please gather at the beginning of lunch on Monday @12:30. We ask that participants of the teams meet in front of the boys locker room for the parade. The teams may change into uniform if they would like to. Most importantly we ask for them to act appropriately at the parade and the rally.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

WSB Rallies
