Race as a team

The results of this meet are a very encouraging sign for this season. Despite my uncertainty about each

person's role on the team, I thought the team raced in a tough-minded and confident fashion. Morgan did

a great job as our front runner, running the second-fastest time ever on the Indigo Lake course. Jennie ran her

best cross country race ever, and got a PR to boot. Brandi, Katrina, and Becki worked well together and

showed that we have the makings of a great team. We still need to cut down our 1-5 spread but everything

is in place to have an unforgettable season.

The coaches were pleased by the men's team's performance. We felt that there was a solid effort

from the entire squad. There are obvious areas where we can improve, but that should be viewed

as a good thing. We know what we have to do to get better and we have the time to do it. We

mixed it up with Buffalo pretty well and they are a team we should plan to beat at the MAC meet.

To do that we need to continue to train conscientiously and stay healthy. For Saturday's meet,

kudos go to David Howard on his comeback from knee surgery. David Pykare ran 34 seconds

faster than last year and Adam Bray was 82 seconds faster. Scott ran great for his first cross

country race longer than 5km and beat Jake Haughn, who ran sub-15 for 5km last year.
