Conference

Well...not exactly the showing we had hoped for. Sometimes you plan everything and do everything possible to be prepared for the championship meet and it just doesn't fall into place. On the men's side we had alot of untimely injuries that ultimately led to our poor showing. Sometimes those things just happen and you have to roll with the punches. Our depth came back to bite us as we just currently do not have the numbers to be able to run well when one or two are injured or sick. Thats why I have been out recruiting very hard and have been really trying to boost our numbers. In cross country depth is a major determinant of championships. On the women's side we just seemed very flat and couldn't really turn it over in the middle of the race. I thought we were very well prepared for the hilly course, however it didn't seem so when we stepped out there Saturday. No coach ever wants to be at the bottom of the conference and I don't plan on being there long. I still believe that we are doing the right things and taking steps in the right direction to move up. It just takes a couple years to set that foundation of training and attitude. This will be my last cross country post, so if you are reading and want to hear more. Please check out the Track and Field blog as I will begin posting there shortly. Thank you to everyone who supports our program! Its always great to have support for our improving programs.
