What is your outlook for this cross-country season from a coaching prospective?
We expect to be better. We lost Lavera Morris from the women’s team and she was a steady performer (
We anticipate the men’s team will be substantially better based primarily on the new additions to the team. We will be young, but I think we have some talented, competitive guys who are legitimate distance runners. We bombed at the conference meet last year, so we weren’t as bad as it seemed, but we hope to rise to the top half of the conference and continue to improve from there.
The goal is always to continue to improve and regain our competitiveness in the Conference. The women have another opportunity to be very competitive in our conference and qualify for the national championships.
The goal for the men’s team is to reestablish our competitiveness in the conference and continue to build toward becoming a national caliber team
Favorite workout that really shows how the team is progressing?
I don’t put too much stock in any one workout on a given day. We look for progressive improvement in training through-out the season with an increasing eagerness to race. I think regular season race results are the best indication of real progress.
What should fans be looking for this season out of both teams?
Improvement
