Ric Rojas Running Newsletter

   Happy New Years, Runners! I hope you all had a great holiday season, and that 2012 is looking great. Have you made your resolutions? Are you keeping to them? Ric Rojas Running can help you achieve your goals this year! We’ve doen it before, as Aaron Grider can tell you.

 We're finally getting all caught up on all of our runners' accomplishments these past months; Will Dixon, Kelley Robinson, Britt Steiner, Val Eipper, and nell Rojas all made great performances in the last few weeks! Full details appear under the bump.

   The USATF Cross Country National Junior Olympics were just this past weekend, on December 10^th, in Myrtle Beach, SC. A number of our runners made it all the way here, and floored us all with their skill!

   Whoops, we neglected to include a few of our Turkey Trotters in our last Running Shorts. So here’s a special “back issue” just for them!

  Hello, runners! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving, because some of our athletes sure did. The annual wave of Turkey Trots has taken up the last couple of weeks, and we had some great results.

 Ric Rojas is pleased to announce the 2012 Junior Winter Track and Field Program. The program is now in its 20^th year and will again be hosted by the University of Colorado’s Athletic Department with practices held at Balch Fieldhouse on the CU-Boulder Campus.

 The USATF has published the results from the  Region 10 Cross Country Junior Olympics.  You can find them here.

Congratulations to all of our runners who participated: Lincoln Roch, Sarah Davidson, Savanna Lindenberger, Mia Beltran, Christian Roch, Will Dixon, Zachary Roach, Alice Bonan, Kirsten Walters, Stephen Roch, Issac Flores, Branden Bohling, Kyle Crawford, Kelley Robinson, Rebecca "Bex" Hermann, Jessica Ousley, Chandler Reid, and Charlie Rasmussen!

  Hello Runners! We’ve got a lot of catching up to do in our Running Shorts, so let’s just get started!

 The USATF has published the results from the 2011 Cross Country Junior Olympics State Meet have been published! Some of our runners did very well; find the link below the cut.

                Hey runners! We’ve got some great things to report on this week.  Nell Rojas has been running in duathlons in Spain, and Aaron Grider competed in a Run/Climb for the American Lung Association.

Hello runners! It’s been a fairly busy week.  The 2011 Fall Junior Program is building up towards the XC Junior Olympics (completely optional for competitors), and just yesterday, we announced our Winter Bridge Program.  In the meantime, we have some races to report on!

Cross Country is almost over! What to do?

 Hello, runners! After a delay, here's our report on last week, the week ending Sunday, October 2nd. We'll catch up on the Lucky Mile race series soon!

 This one’s quite a doozy, Team Rojas!  Valerie Eipper won a silver medal at the World Duathlon Championships! Read more after the break.

Ric Rojas has decided to start a new feature, where we welcome our new athletes and congratulate their past achievements! Last week, Mia Beltran joined Team Rojas -- and this blog post is here to welcome her!

Hello Team Rojas Runners!   A few of our athletes’ accomplishments have fallen between the cracks, so let’s catch up with them!

 We missed him last time around, but Bobby Fischer (not the Chess Grandmaster) has been running in races too!

 After far too long a break, Ric Rojas’s Running Shorts are back on the cyberwaves! You’ve surfed those web-waves over to here, only to find a metaphor that fell apart before it even began. So let’s honor our athletes again!   We’ve had some impressive results these last few weeks!

We are very excited about our 2011 Fall Cross Country Program; this newsletter is meant to update you on the latest schedule.

 We’ve slipped on our Running Shorts for the week of August 15^th, because we’ve had a little racing!  No running – except for the Boulder Road Runners Track Meet – but we had a couple of athletes score high in a Bike Trial in Ft. Collins.
