This Week in Sports - Week #39

While spring sports have been over for a few weeks, some Tandem athletes are still putting themselves to the test. There were five Tandem student runners and two Tandem faculty/staff members participating in Tuesday's OH!lly Trail 5K race. Students Peter W, Lucy L, Levi L, Bela J-T (and his mom, who also participated), and Henry W all ran, as well as teacher and coach Casey Reed and Athletic Director Dave Levy. The OH!lly Trail 5K takes place completely on Observatory Hill on single-track trails with challenging and fun ups and downs and an elevation change of 684 ft. It's the second race of the Charlottesville Summer Trail Running Series, a four-race series of 5k to nearly 5-mile distance trail runs that some of our cross country and track athletes like to take on. Peter, Lucy and Levi all earned a place on the award platform. What a great way to start the summer!

Some summer things to remember:

• Make your sports/school physical appointments now
• Watch for information in emails about fall sports signups
• Upper School sports pre-seasons begin on August 5 - watch for details
• Have fun and get some exercise
