Perfect Fall Weather at New Richmond and Team Improving

New Richmond Cross Country Invite 2018

Our fourth meet this season arrived just as the team has began to settle into place. Everyone is training hard and logging mileage. Times are improving. The top ten continue to battle for the coveted varsity positions. We are three weeks away from conference and five weeks from regionals. Finishing in the top five positions and taking the team to STATE will prove difficult this year, with some very competitive teams in our region. New Richmond XC Invite gave us a glimpse to the team's potential for success. Our -1 group ran well and pushed each other for a strong finish. Groups 0-2 ran in packs and pushed runners into the top ten. Our focus is now on racing strategies and tactics. We want to run in packs, and run for place. At times we did the pack running well and at times runners found themselves running alone. Race-time realities are not easy to control and we expect the runners to respond with sound strategies and hard-nose stubbornness.

After surveying the course, coaches agreed to discourage the use of spikes. Runners went from grass to concrete, to asphalt, and then to gravel, and mulch. We ran well and although a bit unorthodox and even with the threat of bees, times proved training is paying off. 

Below are the top runners for the season through four meets. Thirteen athletes are chasing the 10 varsity slots available for conference and regions.
