Coos Bay to Boston Challenge

Since the summer of 2002 the coaching staff has challenged the team to run 3341 miles. This is the distance from Coos Bay on the west coast where Pre was born, to Boston on the East coast where the Boston marathon takes place.  The first 3 summers we did not have a group of 7 boys and 7 girls complete this.  In the summer of 2005 we did.  It is our hope as a coaching staff that this becomes a tradition, and that the captains enusre this does happen, and they do not assume the team will accomplish this.  With the help of this web site they, the captains, can keep track of the teams progress, and the athletes will know if they are a part of the top 7 boys and girls.  One note for the athletes is INTEGRITY.  I ask the athletes to be sure they are recording the miles they have run, it would be a shame to have a person receive  a t-shirt over someone else if they did not truely run the miles they say they did.  Or as a group to reach this goal only becasue an athlete or two lied about their mileage when in fact we did not have 14 kids run the 3341 miles.
