Another great week of practice was followed by another great meet for our entire team. The great thing about having a young cross country team is that you can have great improvements throughout the year. Our team continues to impress week in and week out and if we keep up our intensity in practice and keep up our determination in racing we will be closing in our team goals for the season.
In the varsity race we ran with out Jordan C. and still performed at a high level to close the gap on Verona and show we can compete against Janesville Parker and Madison East. We put our varsity under 18:44 and put our top 5 under 18:15 (17:52 w/Jordan C.) we will need to continue to show this consistancy in improvement. This week we will see how we compare against Middleton and Sun Prairie at the Grade Level Challenge.
Our junior varsity team ran with alot of confidence. It was nice to see so many young runners willing to push their teammates and help each other to season bests. Our top 7 runners were seperated by only 32 seconds, we will need to move this group up closer to the 18 minute mark but this is a great place to be at this point in the season. I hope to see more guys breaking 19 minutes (currently 7 total on the team), 20 minutes (18 guys), 22 minutes (28 guys), and 24 minutes (39 guys). The only way to make improvements in meets is to practice running that pace in workouts...learn the pace you need to race.
