Interview with James Bowens

1) Two goals for this season?

To win the AAA regional championship and be one of the top runners in the state

2) Favorite Race: Kentucky State Meet

3) Favorite Course: Ft. Massac (because it\'s flat and mostly shaded)

4) What did you gain from last track season?

I gained confidence in my ability to compete with the top runners in the state

5) What do you think about running against your former teammate Jordan Payne?

It\'s weird since we ran with each other since 6th grade. I wish he was still at Marshall because our team had a bright future with me and him as the 1-2 punch.

6) How many miles did you run this summer per week, on average, to get ready for XC?

I have averaged 35mpw this past month.

7) What do you think has been your best race ever in XC or track?

Regional cross country meet freshmen year because I ran a pr by about 30 seconds and helped our team unexpectantly qualify for state.
