Dear Lansing T&F,
I will be writing again this weekend for our regularly scheduled Sunday message and once I've had more time to figure out how to articulate all the things I'm thinking and feeling. But before much time passes, I want to formally acknowledge our season's end (official NYSPHSAA press release here). This is a message I had hoped not to write. I'm very sad, though I know that prioritizing the health of our students, teachers, families, and community near and far is essential and right. I'm proud of the work that you have done to continue to be physically and mentally fit and the efforts you've made to remain connected as a team. Had this gone differently and the opportunity to compete was presented, I would, as ever, put my money on our Bobcats to be ready and strong. To our seniors: thank you for all that you've given our program through your track and field career. This is just one part of your story; there's so much to look back on with pride and, most importantly, so many exciting things ahead of you. We will always be cheering you on. This is the end of the 2020 spring season. But as we've said all along, we're still a team and our physical and mental fitness are deserving of our attention, time, and energy always, whether we are in or out of season. Take a moment to be sad, and then go for a walk or run or bike ride. Consider this a moving meditation: with each stride or pedal stroke, give thanks for your health, your strength, your family, your faith, your team, your community. We will be stronger on the other side of this, and we'll continue to get through it together. Stay well, Bobcats. Coach Becca
