Part of the reason our program is successful is that we feel four things have to happen.
To become a good runner, you need to run. Being at practice and running with the team will help you develop a pattern of running on a regular basis. This running must continue beyond the season’s end.
Work hard to improve yourself as a runner. This doesn’t necessarily mean winning races, but improving individual performances by pushing yourself. Remember, other people are what make you run faster.
Make cross country a high priority in your life. In addition to the training, eat well, get your rest, and do what you can to become a better runner. Traditionally, cross country runners are also people who work hard in their classes. You will continue that tradition.
To become a life-long distance runner you must see distance running as a generally pleasant experience. Hard work, good performances, supportive teammates and coaches, and a variety of running experiences will help you and everyone else on the team have fun.
