All the best runners that trained for distance events in track last year have come out for cross country - and that's a thrill for me, |
Both Courtney and Maggie are real competitors - and we expect them to have a friendly, heated and healthy rivalry, |
I don't know if we can overtake the traditional conference powers - like Chelmsford and Haverhill - but I think some opponents are going to under-estimate us and we'll surprise a few teams along the way, |
It is what we do best. We pull together. |
It was a learning experience. We've been in some tri meets and duals where we've done well. This opened our eyes. |
Maybe running against Chelmsford and Haverhill early - and on our home (3.1-mile) course - will help us, |
Most of our sprint people are freshmen and sophomores. They're coming along quickly. |
Not everybody can tolerate that. Some already have issues with their legs, and we can't put cuffs on their legs. We perform an ultrasound test on their legs. |
One point, it's hard to believe. I'm still happy with the way we performed. We had a lot of girls place in the top three. |
The MVC is a very strong conference with an earned reputation, |
The younger kids still have to prove themselves - but again we're hoping to surprise some teams and equal or better last year's record. |
We wouldn't want supplies to be left outside and get damaged or destroyed, ... We encourage people to drop their donations off during business hours so we can make sure they are safe. |
We're fairly well-balanced and we'll hold our own against most teams, |
We've had some great pre-season workouts and hopefully it carries over when the dual meets begin. |
When something happens in town, we are such a close-knit community, we all feel the pain. |
